akirby Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 They’re also changing the allocation rules so smaller dealers with lots of reservations don’t get all the allocations. I don’t agree with that at all but I guess the bigger dealers made a stink about it. State franchise laws SUCK! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02MustangGT Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 10 minutes ago, fuzzymoomoo said: Dealers everywhere would disagree Disagree because said dealers can benefit from the market by collecting ridiculous markups? I know my low volume dealer disagrees with this updated Bronco allocation formula. Meanwhile…anyone can order a Wrangler and pay less than MSRP all while taking delivery in ~90 days (no allocation limits). Ford and volume dealers have screwed many enthusiasts (early reservation holders) during this Bronco rollout. There is no recourse available to the customer and it will eventually cause folks to purchase other brands. I don’t have an immediate need for a vehicle nor am I interested in a Wrangler, but I imagine some enthusiasts are looking elsewhere.

jpd80 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Continually amazed at how manufacturers can turn adversity like supply shortages into a win by tightening prices, reducing incentives and thus, keeping most of their planned profits, especially if the casualties were actually lower profit models…..

The system worked fine for Mach-E and Maverick. Given the popularity and limited supply these issues were inevitable because Ford can’t control dealer pricing. Mandating no ADMs like other industries would fix that part of the problem. Devils advocate...the Mach E and Maverick ordering guides are basically one page ordering guides...the Bronco is the other extreme....

fuzzymoomoo Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I discovered something neat about Warthog/Raptor that I don't believe has leaked publicly as of now. I thought it would excite some people. You think I'm stupid or something? ? y'all are going to have to wait to see what it is ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had me going for a second there. lol I seen the first sentence and thought 'oh goodie!!' and then scrolled further down to the last sentence and thought 'aw man!' lol I'm already excited about the Raptor/Warthog and the Everglades with what's already out there. Looks like the rest of us will have wait until they officially announce/reveal/release more info about both Raptor and Everglades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there's still a lot to be revealed about Raptor/Warthog but I don't think there's much more to Everglades than what was already put out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
