    It might appear that that we sound a bit negative about ordering a Ford Bronco. If you have the patience to order and wait for one, it's probably the best solution since you should be able to get it for the window sticker price without any haggling. But ordering a Bronco right now also has some drawbacks, as we discussed in the video. So, if you're looking for a more immediate solution like we were, I hope you enjoy learning from our experience buying a Bronco right off the dealership lot.

    Wanted a Bronco soooo bad since they came out, saw the markups and ultimately told myself to wait a few years and that it wouldn’t happen anytime soon. I ended up finding a 2022 Big Bend 2dr manual sitting on a lot for right around MSRP, when asking the dealer what the catch was, they said people kept coming in, seeing it was a manual, and ditching. I went back and forth with them for about a month (was working a lot), walked away from the deal once, and I ended up with a rate and payments that were so good I didn’t even think it was possible right now, and I’m making the 5hr drive to go pick it up Wednesday. I’m beyond excited. Patience is key when looking for your dream car. Congrats on yours!

    The supply of Broncos is actually pretty good now. The problem is that some dealers are still trying to screw you by asking for $10K to $15K over sticker. If you have the patience to expand your search, you'll be able to get one at or very close to MSRP.

    I had this same experience with my 2023 WildTrak 4-Door. We have 8 different dealerships around our area... It's interesting to see the different experiences. The first 2 dealers I went to were extremely demanding... And after the 4or5 location I had a sales rep that was very accommodating. After a full year he finally got me the offer I couldn't refuse. It was a great experience at the end of the day. Prior to the ridiculous upsale BS I went through for months straight.

    Great video, I have a 2021 Black Diamond. I went through the similar experience. I got my Bronco through an order that was cancelled. I was in line with 5 other buyers. I can drive manual, and I moved up to the front of the line. Now I was able to deal with the dealership. I wasn’t paying the dealer mark-up; and eventually the dealer guy gave me the car since I was the only buyer that can drive a manual. A few comments, the rock rails, they do protect from rocks, but actually slide over large rocks (like a slider), and the wheels are not the same as the base. Same style, but Black Diamond uses 17 inch wheels, Base models use 16 inch wheels. Great video, make another one for the added features in the Black Diamond.

    I actually lucked into a 2 door big bend with the 2.7L after joking with the dealer about looking for a "Unicorn". Next thing I knew, he gave me a call 2 weeks later and had one coming into the dealership with most of the features I was looking for! I'm in Michigan so the local production probably helps with the delivery quantities here, but I also paid MSRP, no dealer upcharge thankfully!

    Loved your video, what an ordeal that was for you guys!!! Glad you got the Bronco you wanted. I was a reservation holder on day 2 of the pre-order on the release. Put my Dealership info on the order and it was done. 2 days later they contacted me to finalize my order and the price. It was straight up MSRP, no market adjustment, no nothing. December 5th 2021 I drove my 2021 Race Red 2 door Badlands home and I still love it so much you couldn't offer me enough to part with it. My Baby. I must say, the dealership and management make all the difference in the world when buying new vehicles. I have dealt with Cam Clark Ford in Airdrie Alberta Canada since 2005 with all our vehicle purchases and have never had any problems what so ever. Glad to hear you love your Bronco and Rock on Bronco. Man are they fun off road!!

    That is because in Canada they cannot charge you over MSRP on new vehicles like in the US. Once they are considered used all bets are off though. Where i live in washington state they are trying to sell a ton of used Canadian market Broncos as well. So the sticker looks close until you realize its in loonys 🙂 Buyer beware!

    I ordered my Bronco 4Dr Badlands Sasquatch, within the first month on the first round of ordering. It took 2. 4 years for me to take delivery. I actually forgot about it at one point. I ordered it exactly how I wanted it. I have had it now since August of 22, I have put over 16k miles on it. No issues whatsoever. I would be this vehicle a thousand times. I love driving it, it makes off-roading fun again. I no longer wofer if my vehicle will get me home after a few days on the trail. With the 2.7 twin turdo engine I can rip through the desert like a wild banshee. The after market stuff is really coming around too. I installed my own charging pad and everything. 🎉congrats on moving up to the big brother, you won't regret it.😊

    Never fill out a credit app before agreeing to out the door price in writing with the sales manager's signature on it. And always be prepared to walk out. You almost always get a better deal by walking out at least once. I bought 4 new vehicles last year at msrp. Traded them in for another and made $$ each time. Now I have a HE Bronco on order for MSRP. Make sure your dealer has the correct allotment for your build, otherwise you probably wont get it.

    Congrats!!! A year late watching, but still a congrats!!! I had two 2020 reservations, so my first Bronco was msrp and a cactus grey big bend that I "dumbed down" the order to get Nov 2021, after going to Bronco off roadeo I decided I needed a Sasquatch, but my big bend order I think got built the day I was at Off Rodeo so couldn't change that, but luckily I still had an outstanding reservation. I loved that Big Bend too so no regrets. I placed an order for the cheapest Sasquatch when order banks opened for model year 2022. Two Door Base Sasquatch 2.3 and my son picked the color Shadow Black, I got a very fast production time at the time, not sure how as we were hoping for a bit more time, but nonetheless by the time it arrived the msrp was higher than my order price so I got it below msrp at 38K!!!. My husband then picked up an order for a carbonized grey lux obx before order banks closed in 22, and when that arrived I traded the big bend for that four door and got paid above the price I paid so no negative equity!!! My son drove the two door sas for awhile but think I am getting it back in the meantime I drove about two hours to pick up a Pilot for a family vehicle... but I agree that was the only way to get a good deal (aka msrp) was to do a wide search. Anyways watching new videos as I need to do a few tweaks to the Sasquatch. I wish I got a manual but at the time no one but me could drive a manual in my family of four drivers. I have searched for new ones as I would pick a two door with manual or 2.7 but now you can't build one for less than 50K so I will just modify the one I have as it is closer to being paid off which is better than a new payment... there are things I like about the base models but sure wish they put those 12 inch screens on all vehicles in 22 and I do wish I had the mid package with heated seats because I loved the heated cloth seats from my big bend and I miss the cactus grey!!! but those are minor details and some things I liked they are not making anymore!!!!

    The dealership determines how much they charge you in interest. They make money off the financing. They get kickbacks from Ford credit as well as whatever bank they get the loan from. Always tell them that you are paying cash for the purchase and you have no trade in. That way you agree on the price they will sell you the vehicle. They can’t manipulate the numbers. You tell them after that you decided to trade in a vehicle and tell them let’s see what a payment would be.

    I'm actually one of those people. My neighbor waited for over two years to get his Bronco and still didn't have it. He couldn't believe it when I drove up in the driveway. The dealership in Palm Springs had one. It was the badlands' sasquatch. It came fully loaded. It was expensive but we went ahead and went for it. I was sweating bullets after we did it, but now I'm really happy that we did. I'm enjoying it so much. I bought the soft-top, and I'm having fun riding with it down. It's an easy flip, and it's back down again. Congrats on your Bronco. I know you'll enjoy yours as much as I do. They have so much potential to be whatever you want it to be.

    I originally ordered my bronco on March 9, 2021. I think it was the base model with the Sasquatch package. Around 8-10 months later I upgraded my order for the first time to the 2022 big bend model with the Sasquatch package. When figured out I wasn’t getting the 2022 model. I changed my order to the Wildtrak model with the lux package and changed the color to Area 51. 2 doors and one level below the Raptor. Finally after 25 months and 2 upgrades from my original order and date, I finally got my Bronco. Does anyone remember the email Ford sent out at the end of January? Informing everyone who were still waiting on their bronco orders. If we wanted a better chance to get a 2023 Bronco, that we only had 3 models to choose from! I was pisssed! I told the salesman I contacted at the dealership to cancel my effing order after he answered a few questions I had. Like I said, I was pissed! I was researching on how to order a 2023 Shelby Mustang, when I received a email on 2/9/23 informing me that my Bronco was scheduled for production on the week of 03/27/2023 and to disregard the email from Ford.

    Well, I'm 71, and before I retired I had bought 16 brand new Chevy/GMC trucks from 1973 to 2012. I still own my 2012 2500HD Silverado with 32K miles on it. When new, I had the best undercoating/rust prevention done before loading it with aftermarket accessories to make it mine. 12 months ago I was offered $35k for it. I paid $38k for the base truck in 2012! It's an LT with everything but leather! What I learned over 16 deals, ALL car dealers are lying, cheating, no good, scum sucking, rotten to the core, thieving, useless pieces of crap that should be in jail not selling cars/trucks!! That about sums it up. 8) --gary

    I had an easier but similar situation. My 2 door 2022 wildtrak had $30k markup. They did offer me $33k on my Bronco Sport Badlands from 2020. In the end they knocked down markup to $6k, because I told them what my monthly needed to be and that I didn't NEED this Bronco, just wanted.

When I tell you, I have been a hostage negotiator for 19 years and I still paid MSRP. You crushed it! And I further agree that it's great to bring along your own support person who can help you do sanity checks along the way. After all, they are doing this right in front of you by running to and from the managers office and pretending there's no more wiggle room. It's great theatrics for you to be able to do that and duck off to a corner have one of their free coffees, and talk to your friend to get their feelings on things.

    Bought my 2dr OBX Lux six months ago at $2,500 *under* MSRP. The markups are now a myth. I see Bronco's sitting on lots all around where I live. Sure, there were $20k markups a year ago, but with interest rates being what they are and the economy spiraling off a cliff, nobody is buying these things with markups. Hell, the dealer I purchased from has a 2dr OBX, 2.7, High, Sas at MSRP and it's been sitting on the lot for months. It's a REALLY nice looking Bronco!

    I’m my opinion you paid way too much for a manual Black Diamond. Black Diamond is essentially a Base minus the marine grade vinyl seats, which you can get for under $500. The wheel rims are painted black, $0. I know you all did your research. There have been numerous issues with the manual transmission. The fact that you got a 2 door is a plus, because they are only making 10% of them. So that will hold its value. Here are my reasons for buying Base. Paid $32k. Spent $7k on upgrades. 35” tires. 3 1/2 lift kit. Gutted out the awful stereo system and added a 12 inch sub woofer on the tailgate. Added rock lights, Bronco letters on the grill in bright white lights. Total investment. $39k.

    Dealerships are turning Base Broncos into $55k Broncos with some vinyl decals, bigger wheels and tires which is ridiculous. And like we mentioned you can't currently order a Base Bronco or a manual transmission. Considering our Black Diamond is $42k and that's essentially the starting price, I don't believe it's accurate to say we "paid way too much" for it. You're comparing your modified Base Bronco to a different trim that comes from the factory with a rear locking differential, steel front and rear bumpers, rock rails, bash plates, auxiliary switches, rubberized flooring, marine-grade vinyl seats and 17-inch wheels (vs 16s on the base). As far as any issues with the manual transmission, that's what warranties are for. We are very happy with our Black Diamond and we think it was worth every penny. But either way we're happy you're able to enjoy owning a Bronco, some people are still waiting on theirs!
