More Bronco hear say.

[Uncle Gump]

I kinda stopped following the New Bronco awhile ago. This among other things just said stay away from it for awhile.

Damn shame too... I still really want one.

After the roadster is done because I have a title for it thats a ford no more fords. Might even replace the 351 with a 360 based engine and find a Dodge title.

Just because of this shit I want no more Fords.
It's unexceptable, complete dirtbag of a company move.

I guess I'll build a 29 Dodge to replace the Ranger.

Mustang will be replaced with a Dart.



You can cry auction and dealer all you want but it makes Ford look bad at the end of the day.

It does and they know it.

If you can prove what you and the dealer agreed to ford will go to bat for you and make it right bigly.

If anyone gets sideways with their dealer get in contact with mike levine, he makes things happen.

But in he said/she said situations probably rightly so they dont really get in the middle.

Mustang will be replaced with a Dart.

Hopefully a real dart, (not the front wheel drive 4cyl crap cars)

Potato/potaato

Both are cheap econobox cars.

What a vehicle will go for at auction has a large part to play in determining its worth.

Right now.... they're clearly worth that amount of money.. because that's what people are willing to spend once the market is saturated with them the prices will calm down. Supply/demand..

Floor plans are a lil different then just auction straight up. These dealers can shell game these vehicles around using floor plans and never really pay the vehicle off until its sold by Inflating the price. Its no different then DeBears and the diamond game they technically control the qhole supply and sell for what they want not what Ford or (The Russians in small diamonds) its more Tom F***kery.

All kinds of dealers are pulling the same stuff. Ford dealers aren't alone. A few weeks ago on another forum a pic showed a new Toyota RAV4 that a Toyota dealer marked up from $40K to $90K.

This practice is illegal in Canada. There the manufacturer's suggested price is the price, period, no extra markups. I honestly don't quite understand how crazy markups are legal in the US under some state price-gouging laws.

Free enterprise and being a piece of shit are two entirely different things....

Being a piece of shit is a subjective observation. I don't believe these dealers (apart from the ones telling people who have pre-orders or whatever they need to pay more than the agreed price) are being that douchey personally.

Yes.. it sucks.. but these "market corrections" aren't HURTING anybody.. Its not like they're gouging on heart medication.There's a million other vehicles out there to buy. Like I previously said.... once supply catches up with demand all this will go away. Its not like this isn't the first time a new vehicle has been sold for way over MSRP either..

As far as hurting anybody... how does one insure a $50k car you have over $100k in? Or $80k or whatever.

Most insurance companies will let you insure whatever turd you want for more money than it's actual worth, you just pay more. How much more? idk.

There's always gap coverage too.. so if you mess up good and total it the remainder of the loan is paid off rather than just the blue book value or whatever.

It actually looks like they spent decent money on them... for a freebie. I wonder how many they had to order?

Are you sure it isn't a 2023 calendar?

 

[85_Ranger4x4]

Really all of the freebies so far have had a lot of thought/effort into them.

Pretty neat, we appreciate it.
