Northside Ford Experience?

[HeHateMe]

Howdy Texans!

For those that purchased with NSFORD, was the Northside Package negotiable? If so, how did you do it?

I'm currently set and looking for delivery early next month. PO looks great (MSRP and price protection), except for the NS Package... $2496...

Thoughts?

I got mine at Northside in SA. Purchase price on order plus dealer package $2300 quoted for stuff I mostly don't need. After an hour of negotiation I got it down to $990.

The process sucks but be patient and negotiate

What's an NS Package?

What's an NS Package?

Window tint... Window etching... Paint and interior "protection"... And... Wait for it... Nitrogen

Dealer markup.

Dealer markup.

I mean, I don't mind the tangibles... Tint, etching, I can see those things as clearly being on/added to the vehicle and will pay a justified price for it.

But nitrogen, please... And I'm curious to hear what's "included" or "covered" with the paint and interior protection...

So anybody else besides @Dheerajv ???

@j_marinelli ? You may know more SA Broncos having been on the forum, and having your Bronco longer....?

It's clearly dealer installed "tangibles" with massive margins. The question is this optional? Can you decline it? If not then it's purely a money grab.

What @swoosaid is spot on i think. You moght want to decline them but i have heard of customers in the area say the dealers said these were a non negotiable items.

Oh so a BS Package. I see.

Pretty much... Bronco tax...

Yes, Bronco tax. FWIW, I thought I’m getting the windows tinted anyway so for a reasonable price, I didn’t care. I picked mine up in early FEB so I really just wanted to get out of there alive.

Earlier in the year, NS had two Broncos for sale - both were Customer “walk-always”

My Bronc has been at another shop getting the SAS front pinion seal and a window regulator replaced. Didn’t have a great experience with the service department.

There isn’t a good face for me to respond with. I’m waiting for the fight about nitrogen. That is… whenever my bronco actually comes in.

Are you with NS too?

Yes. Good luck getting a call back on a question
