Bronco sales down 26% in Q1

[GroovyGeek]

Good news for those still looking to buy I guess. Probably worth holding out some more for the incentives to start rolling in. It is unlikely that Ford will have the temerity to jack up prices again in the middle of a softer market

Would love some incentives by the time I get my build.

You really don't need to order a Bronco anymore. As long as you're willing to search a large area, you can most likely find what you're looking for on a lot, for a decent discount.

If Ford drops the Bronco line next year it'll bode well for our future. Now we existing owners all have collector's items and re-sale values will skyrocket

And I still won't sell mine . . . EVER ! !

Remember that sales generally follow builds by 6-8 weeks due to shipping time via the height of 18th century tech.

Sales should be down in Q1 since the strike was in Q4 of 2023.

Of course you want to order. Just like with a Mustang, 95% of stuff on the lot is going to have an automatic transmission. And terrible colors. And expensive options packages you can avoid by ordering yourself.

With the best interest rate at 7% sales of everything is down. Thank Joe. Good news is I just picked up a new 2023 BD SAS, Mid, Bumper, KeyLess for $7550 behind MSRP. $3500 of that was rebate they took off after taxes etc. Still a screaming deal. Less money than I sold my 2023 Base Squatch for for cash. I about 2K less. Like the white I had but I can live with Caron Gray.

There may be extra option packages on those vehicles that you don't want to pay for, but you'll be able to get a discount to offset the price of those. Dealers want to move the vehicles on the lot. You, most likely, won't be able to get that kind of discount on an ordered vehicle. You might have to travel a little bit or have it shipped to you, but there are plenty out there. A quick search of a 500 mile radius from me shows over 3600 sitting on lots!

Not true they will also discount the order as well the automotive industry as a whole is struggling compared to living high of hog for last few years avg retail profit on a new car in 2019 was aprox $100 on the actual vehicle now if u finance different story the avg profit on a new has risen 145% over last few years so I would got to where u ordered and lay it out say I can shop for one now and get a nice discount I can order from some place else and get a discount so I would like to re negotiate my sales price and if you're going to finance know what you can get on your own before you walk in then take a half a point off of that and or a point and tell them that's what you have now more than likely they are going to be able to get a better rate for you than you will be able to yourself given the simple fact that these dealerships run millions and millions of dollars worth of loans that they perfect for financial institutions so they are more willing to do the dealership special favors and give them better rates than you because they do more business with them than you who gets a automotive loan once every six seven years when in fact they're doing several hundred a month with banks everybody thinks that their bank is going to give them the best deal or is giving them the best rate and that's just simply not true is there a business for profit just like any other place they're not your uncle cousin or brother and they're there to make money I would recommend a extended service contract if you intend on keeping it for a long period of time and gap insurance if you plan on financing the entire amount other than that the rest of the ancillary products are not necessary and huge profit margins for the dealers this is me speaking who has 23 years of Automotive retail dealership management experience probably write a book but basically just go renegotiate your sales price with them and they will do it if they don't move on to the next guy cuz there's always someone that will write down the street the next guy is always willing to drop his pants and they have been living so high off the hog for the last few years that they're struggling now and panicking and will do just about anything to keep a deal just so you know that's right from the horse's mouth good luck

If you write a book, I would suggest not using just one long sentence. Just sayin'.

Unless you want a manual transmission then you have to settle. 70+ new Broncos on lots in my area and only with 7 manual transmissions.
