You should have reserved a Bronco in 2020.. That rollout, communication, delay and delivery process was far far worse than Ineos. Dealers gouging reservations, stealing reservations, 2-3 years wait for the Bronco order, rising MSRP, poor quality issues...
Compared to that, the Ineos process and communication has been
100% agree on how some dealers do the whole ADM thing. Had that experience looking for my last two Porsches - a 992 Targa 4 GTS and a 718 GTS 4.0…it would have cost me $100K (total for both) more to buy them through most any Porsche dealer in the US, so I bought them in Canada where the BS doesn’t happen…two of the most pleasant dealer experiences (besides mine on the IG with the Warner Team) I’ve ever experienced.INEOS doesn’t really own these cars anymore though. INEOS sells the cars to the dealers. The dealers then have to push them out. When INEOS stops getting orders from dealers then they add a spif to help the dealers move the cars so they order more of them. That’s why all of these dealerships can really do whatever they want with pricing. On my Range Rover I ordered in advance and paid a deposit and they did me a “favor” by only charging me 3k over msrp when it came in. They straight up told me we can get “15k to 25k over for this”. Keep in mind that it was my order with my deposit that brought the car in. But they just don’t care. When it’s a sellers market declares will take advantage of it and when it’s a buyers market then they all come down on pricing and the manufacturers chip in as well. I don’t think car sales are where they were a year ago and definitely not where they were two years ago.
As far as the car market, you are spot on again. There are some ‘competitors’ to the IG that have affected the market, but their demand is soft as well..you can walk in 2 dealerships here in south Florida and pay MSRP (or better) for the GX550 OverTrail + and a broker I’ve connected with in the past has allocations of the various Land Cruiser models at $5K discounts…
