Local Dealer Just added $15,000/$20,000 Market Adjustment Fee!

Sounds about right, unfortunately.

Just got back from a nearby Dealer that just marked up all their 4 Door Big Bends an additional $15,000 Market Adjustment Fee and their 2 Door Base Squatch an additional $20,000 Market Adjustment Fee. That included their Mannikins…including the Mannikin someone had already been waiting 5 Months for, with a $5000.00 Deposit on…

Oh whaddya know, there are Amish people in Tennessee

"Jebediah, grab your torch and pitch fork, we got a business to raze!"

Just think of how they are helping your resale value down the line.

Post all there info so people know where NOT to go. :(

If they're stock or abandoned orders, who cares?

Why should anyone have to pay an ADM? Just because someone has a reservation doesn't make them better or that their buying experience should be different, or the price they pay should be different. What's the difference?

The best way to deal with this is by not buying the ones marked up. Let them sit on the lot. Easier said than done but there isn't any other way in my eyes.

Effort should count in life. This IS a cherished vehicle by some. They put forth a lot of energy anticipating this vehicle. Those that did not, should have to pay or do their time. It is as simple as that.

Hopefully this kind of crap catches up to the dealers and that they get screwed in the end. Ford is warning dealers about lightening markups, but I guess the could care less since the bronco is old news to ford

They received Three more Big Bend 4 Doors, this morning, and sold one, already, with the $15,000.00 Markup…

I can believe it. the dealer here had a couple on the lot that they said they'd sell me for $17k over MSRP. reminds me of the old Porsche tactics of the 90's where you could put money down and order one for $10+ K over sticker - my ex used to say those cars were made of "unobtainium"

I was looking at for sale websites and there are a bunch of dealers all over marking up the Bronco. Saw one Big Ben listed for $59000 + and they had the MSRP listed at under $35000. FE listed for $99000 +. Crazy!

I am guessing it may be good, that all these Dealers follow along, with these crazy Markups, and have all of these Simple Build Broncos collecting Dust and Rust, sitting unsold, on their Lots.
Economics will catch up with them, especially as more Customer Orders get delivered, and Prices should return to normal.
Anyone that pays these ridiculous Markups, is going to be pretty unhappy, in a couple years, when the Value of their Vehicle tanks, because there are plenty of Broncos sitting on Dealer Lots, unsold.
It‘s not like the Bronco is a “Special Vehicle,” like a Gt 500 Shelby Mustang, that appreciates in Value…

Exactly.

Get a sign and a lawn cheer and picket in front of the dealership calling them crooks.

Insane !!

I just bought one that the dealer tried to markup 5500 for a big bend. I got it down to 4300.
