Dealer markup?

[Yetibuilt71]

The dealers appear to be clueless. Ask your rep at Swanson Fahrney if they accept X-Plan pricing which is a slight discount plus Admin Fee and let me know. I will do likewise w/Future Ford back to you. Go join the Mustang club at Mustang.org for a $25 membership and you will be eligible for X-Plan pricing. No need to get jumpy yet as ordering won’t occur until Dec.

So I talked to the rep, and they want me to come in and talk with the manager tomorrow. Hopefully I can be off work in time to go. But I will follow up as soon as I talk with them in person.

That seems strange. All I did was to call the Asst Sales Mgr on the phone and we were on the same page of the entire 5 min phone call. If they give you the runaround change your dealer to Future s Ford which I know is another 20 minutes from S-F

If you only have 1 reservation I recommend calling around to the listed dealers and trying to get something in writing regarding ADM. That way you can make a second reservation and then play the dealers off each other.

Already done! Lol. I did it as soon as he wouldn’t give me a straight answer.

Reached out to Barbee's Freeway Ford in Denver. No info on A/Z/X Pricing yet. Hoping to find something either in Denver or Nor Cal that will honor the x-plan. (Im between the two locations for work).

We reserved a FE in Tampa and the dealer here will not confirm any pricing. I spent an hour on the phone with ford marketing program headquarters and the best they could do was “file a complaint”. You cannot move your reservation only cancel it and re-order. That basically ties the hands of anyone who got a reservation for a FE.. how is ford going to protect customers from getting marked up.? I’m seriously worried that they’re going to gouge the hell outta the FE.. anyone else in Tampa?

I doubt FMC will direct dealerships on their pricing. That said, I have had an experience with pre-ordering a yet to be released vehicle and I have to say that it does give the buyer some leverage when dealing with a dealership. There is one caveat however, FMC needs to allow that the pre-order dealership can be changed. If not, the buyer's leverage is lost. In addition, forums such as this one can be instrumental in negotiating a price if the dealership is aware of it and the extra business it can potentially bring them. It's a win, win with a pre-order. Typically the vehicle does not come out of the dealership's allotment but it does count as a sale for the dealership. For these reasons, I will flat out not purchase my Bronco form any dealership that is going to mark up the vehicle and will not honor x-plan pricing. I can wait.

Here here....ditto

Future Ford in Clovis (they also have a dealership in Roseville) will honor the X-Plan and I'm sure others will as our orders do not go against the dealer's allocation, thus our order is an unallocated sale.

I’ve communicated with the General Manager at Serramonte Ford, and he said that I’ll have Xplan honored for my order, if the Bronco is eligible for it.

I need to confirm with them on whether or not they’ll honor xplan.

in my email from Matt yesterday they confirmed there WOULD be ADM, no xplan. i sent a follow up email to confirm they understood mine was a reservation and not a request for their own allocations, but haven't heard back

Probably because I do not have a First Edition ordered. Seems like there’s probably confusion on how their allocation works, once it’s cleared up, hopefully it works out in your favor.

Made my reservation through Ace Ford in South Jersey because they're the closest to me and had no awareness of ADM or x/z-plans (haven't had a Ford in years nor have I purchased a new first run of a vehicle).

Received an email from the sales manager and engaged in a convo. He co formed no dealer markup and acknowledged Ford set the price for "one price shopping".

I'll ask about x/z-plan pricing soon.

Are you saying the Bronco is fixed price from Ford and dealers cannot charge ADM?

This is how you anger your most loyal and diehard fans of the Bronco. Launch a product with msrp pricing (msrp pricing was listed below product and people don't expect to get hammered for more than that), take a deposit, and then ram it to those same people. By the way, these are also the people that screwed around with a crashed web site for hours on end and would think most deposit holders also own multiple ford products. I have a feeling an attorney is going to have a field day if they don't allow deposit holders to move their orders to another dealer.

if this becomes a thing I’m in

Same issue I have here in SoCal with the dealer ford allotted me.
