With the bronco did they have reservations that were later converted to orders at their discretion on their timetable or did you go to the dealer and place the order then wait for a build date? If it was the later I have more hope. If the former... Not so much.
Reading this as someone who had a 2021 Bronco Order accepted 15 months ago which was converted to a 2022 and still has no build date in sight.
I reserved a Bronco within 24 hours on July 14th. With the Bronco launch, you also indicated the trim you wanted. Ford then produced a time table for orders many months later. We were invited by Ford corporate to convert our reservation to an order in December of 2020. The Dealer called us and requested our build sheet. Ford confirmed and accepted the order for a 2021. Ford communicated with us many times about our 2021 order. In October of 2021, Ford officially converted our Order to a 2022. Now we are about 15 months from Ordering and about 6 months from the conversion to 2022 and we aren't even scheduled for production. Ford has "no information" about when we will get our Bronco, even though we've removed several of the components that were supposedly slowing things down.
I'm trying to make the Ford workers that read this thread get fired up, so they can prove me wrong!
The difference between us right now is that Ford has an additional $500 interest free loan from me, and not from you.Please remember the many first day reservation holders who didn't get an order invite
With that said, congrats and I hope you get scheduled soon!
For me, it’s $1600. My dealer asked for another $1000. I know people on the forum said they weren’t allowed to ask for anything else, but they did.
My understanding is that the money goes to the dealer and not to Ford. That is why there is a refund if you switch dealerships or your dealership changes ownership. So, you’ve given the dealership an interest free loan at 0.05 percent or some other paltry amount.
As long as Ford:
