Jerry’s Ford in the same area had a Bronco first edition listed for 133k. Moronic pricing. They think we will forget.
As long as enough people forget, it's a winning play, financially speaking. And most people don't know to start with. I have no idea what Broncos sell for. Why? I'm not in the market for a vehicle. I'm not interested in the Bronco. So I don't pay attention and have nothing to forget.

The lesson? Car dealers are not your friends. When you negotiate with them, if you don't have a "take no prisoners" attitude, you're leaving money on the table. If you have family or a close friend in the business, that's different. You might only get screwed half of the time ...

Like Ford actually cares, they've never addressed these ADM's so who's to say MSRP isn't "open to interpretation"? As long as their investors are happy they'll let whatever fly.
I'm an investor—a really small fish investor—and I'd say putting ADM's under MSRP like this is ******** and I'm not happy about it. They should deal with that straight away.

Didn't that email also mention that Code Orange was an extra $20k? Pretty sure I didn't pay that on my code orange color
Unlike red, orange needs yellow mixing, so Code Orange requires additional cores to keep the FPS up otherwise the yellow will drop out or the clear coat will disappear. Additional cores mean lower yields on the silicon, so it's under an even greater shortage. It's a whole thing, I don't want to get too deep into it. Trust the science.

Based on the results so far, I would expect all of us to end up paying about 300% of sticker for ADM.
I think you're underestimating our ability to build back better. We're almost to "just build back." Next up comes, "for the love of god please build something, anything at all." I think each one of those is probably a doubling of inflation.

Let's go Brandon!

Ford clearly doesn’t do anything but the window sticker from ford lists the msrp. There is no room for interpretation
