More Bronco hear say.

The same seller is also selling a bicycle for $10,000. I’m not sure which one is more insane.

 

[Uncle Gump]

Right... sounds like it is privately owned.

 

[sgtsandman]

Sounds like somebody bought it to flip, it is titled and has a lien on it.

I think even when a dealership brings in a vehicle, they take ownership and owe money on it. It is possible that someone agreed to buy it and tried to back out of the deal but why pictures in front of the dealership then? If they bought it to flip it, one would think some place other than the dealership would be where pictures would be taken.

Yeah......this is good.

Dealer doesn't usually actially own the vehicles on the lot.

The first dealer my brother worked at was shut down by Ford because they were storing vehicles owned by Ford off-site and didn't have enough money to buy them outright when ford caught them. Ford had armed guards watching the lots until they could remove the vehicles they owned which was all the new ones.

People have straight up said they were reserving two so they could sell one and almost pay for both.

I mean... the price gouging sucks but we DO have a free market so.. Can't blame the guy for trying someone will probably buy it too.

It is a great way to get tarred and feathered virtually online.

Lots of people get sore that are waiting on a Bronco and get really bent out of shape when someone double dips to make a profit.

I often buy things for a dime and sell them for a dollar... it's totally a supply and demand thing. I have however gave someone more then they wanted for something because it was just the right thing to do... and I still made money reselling it.

This type of thing happens everyday... on everything we buy. I don't see any reason to get upset about it... if you don't like the price... just pass it by. 30 plus pages of pissing and moaning about it doesn't change a thing. If someone wants one bad enough... they pay up instead of ordering one and waiting for delivery.

Only 30?

It's amusing, for some it is almost an all out torch and pitchfork affair.

We are a late reservation, I have said all along I didn't think we would get ours until early '22 and so far unless we get lucky and become a VIP build because Ford feels sorry for us I don't see that changing.

More fan mail!

 

[Snoranger]

So Ford sent you an update stating that they will update you at a later date!?!?

Ain't it a beautiful system?

Sounds like the system the military has. A meeting about the meeting. The meeting. And then the meeting for the bottom feeders that many who attended the first two meets must also attend...

I can’t disagree. It shows who the scum bags are too and lets those who pay attention know who NOT to give business to.

Like Uncle Gump said, execution makes all the difference too. How it’s priced, packaged, and timing can still make the seller money and make the buyer happy.

Blatant 200% pricing when there is a known high demand is just scum baggery.

Cheaper Than Dirt! and some other companies do this every time there is a crisis. How they are still in business is mind blowing...

Every dealer in the country is going to do something similar for every Bronco they can get ahold of too. Every car ordered by someone declined financing, everybody that couldn't wait indefinatly and HAD to get something else, everybody else who decided that the rear needed more cupholders... buying a Bronco you didn't secure pricing on by reserving is going to be BRUTAL for awhile.
