I'm not going to get into the entire Bronco fiasco....don't know, don't care. If you want to go there, remember Cybertruck? Announced in 2019....those people are also still waiting for their VINs.We pre-ordered a Bronco in July of 2020 and ordered it when orders opened in February 2021. I have not heard a single explanation as to why I do not have a Bronco in my driveway or why it doesn’t even have a vin almost 2 years later, that’s why we’re ordering a Jeep instead. 8 months is ridiculous but you also ordered a low production model that’s in high demand. You wouldn’t get it off a lot of you tried and even if you could, you would be slapped with dealer markup out the ass.
As far as the 392 being a "low production model in high demand" - I disagree. Low production compared to what? A non-392 Wrangler? Toyota Camry? According to another post on this forum, Jeep made 6,417 of MY21 alone and 5,583 of them in MY22. 12,000 in 2 model years does not seem like a low number.
As far as getting it off a lot - there was never a problem getting one from dealer stock (unless you are looking for one in a specific color with specific options and do not want to pay thousands more for options you don't need). The dealer markup was present back in July when I ordered, but most dealers could be talked down to $5K-$8K over MSRP. This is EASILY less money that you are going to pay for today's finance rate of 7% vs. July finance rate of 4% on a 60-mo loan. Fast forward to today, there are 310 392's listed on cars.com. A week ago it was 265 or so. Several dealers I worked with in the past 2 weeks were selling their 392s for MSRP. Pretty much any sane dealer would sell their in stock 392 for MSRP today
High demand? I doubt it there is high demand for an $82K+ Wrangler that gets about 10MPG, with finance rates being over 7% today (will probably hit 8%+ in January). It's a niche market. If demand was so high, there wouldn't be 310 of them sitting unsold.
By the way....it's not too late to get that Bronco. You have 3,761 to choose from
