First, let me say right out of the gate, I have no connections and thus would not be the best person to organize this. So I'm looking for a connected volunteer (cough, cough, 1Ags, Repro). Ford recently released a video across their dealer network that delivery allocation of the reservations will be based on a number of factors, but essentially when you break it down, it all adds up to the volume of the dealership will get priority. That being said, if you've reserved, or will be reserving, with a dealership that only has a couple of reservations on the books, you will most likely be waiting until 2022 for delivery (and no, I'm not exaggerating). In addition, in the absence of the build and price configurator I fear marked up pricing is going to be a problem. So the concept is simple, use the volume advantages of a group buy to both keep the price down, but more importantly be higher on the list for preferential delivery. Ideally we'd team with a dealership that is already high volume so that they already have a lot of reservations, but then negotiate a deal with that dealership whereby we are essentially a single customer thereby being their largest customer, making us the highest volume customer at an already high volume dealership. Our demands, at least in my mind, $500-$1000 below invoice without x-plan, and priority on reservation allocation. Obviously to accomplish this we need to bring the dealership volume. So, the first question, how many people have reservations already, and how many people would be interested in joining forces to use the power of a group buy? Second question, if enough interest, who wants to head this up? The first step is doing a little leg work to find out what level of business a dealership would have to have to make a deal like this? Once we have the target number we can see how far off, or close, we are to it being a viable plan. But we need some sort of idea as to the current interest in this to even see if we want to explore the idea.
TLDR; let's pool our resources for TexAgs AB Bronco group buy to try and get priority delivery allocation
