Fl rep says S18 configeration summary states"Acquisition Fee is a charge paid by the lessee to Ford Credit to help cover the cost of acquiring and servicing the account" is not a valid fee if you buy, purchase a Bronco.

My dealer only shows the MSRP plus options and this lease acquisition fee of $645 in my build for 2022 base.
Are all salesmen sneaking these $645 fee erroneously.
Rumors from other dealers say this dealer is charging over MSRP, which Ford does not comment on.
Dealers when questioned say his factory rep told him it is ok even if the customer does not lease Bronco

Same here.

The $645 acquisition fee is also included in vehicle total on B&P.

You obviously never leased a car before. All leases have an acquisition fee.

If you do not lease, you should not be charged the "$645 acquisition fee". In the B & P when you select finance option it deducts the fee. I have ordered many for our customers and Arkansas is not a "lease friendly" state so all of ours are being financed, not leased so I see this fee disappear and the price drops.

you need to click on the calculator and select "purchase" instead of lease. Then it takes the acq fee off.

My dealer added it and then minus'd the same amount. Told me that it shouldn't be on there, but Ford added it. Aren't making customers pay it, unless it is a lease.

I honestly didn't notice that before but wasn't worried since my dealership didn't add that to my price worksheet.

Hi would bes
Call dealer today. He said order for 2022 as code 99 is in and he agree $645 only applies for leases not purchases. Will adjust MSRP pricing when 2022 orders open in fall.
