I can understand that. If I’m not mistaken, folks locked in a price upon ordering and Ford was adamant about dealers not jacking the prices up.
It’s a remake of a classic.
I have a ‘77 and folks follow me into parking lots.
That dealer probably had someone lined up to pay at least $20-25k over what your buddy paid
Oh sure the dealerships gonna make money you know that.
I hate buying a vehicle at a dealership like poison......just walking on the lot irritates the crap outta me.
One of our neighbors in NM had a 77 Bronco, and even 20 years ago people were always trying to buy it from them.
Now I have that happening to me when I go out in my 95 F350 CCLB with the fuel economy special: the 460 V8.
