Hi all, new to the area and not familar with the dealers here. Hoping to get some feedback as to who to visit or stay away from. So far have not seen any BSBL matching what I'm looking for. May need to order. Just sold the travel trailer and will be trading in my 2016 F250 since I won't be needing its capabilities. Thanks

Good time to order the Bronco Sport with $1,250 savings (offer ex‍pi‍res Oc‍to‍ber 2‍, 2‍0‍2‍3) on a “Super Duty, Mustang Mach‑E, Ranger, Explorer, Bronco Sport, Escape, Edge or Mustang” if that offer is available to you plus any other Ford incentives/rebates.

Check out Earnhardt Ford. I ordered from the Fleet Manager which was just 3 emails to state the options I wanted and to get the price, order then wait the 6 months for my ‘22 BL to be built. That works well when you know exactly what options you want.

But maybe is different now if you can negotiate the price (I paid MSRP less a $500 rebate from Ford).

Thanks Dude, most of the incentives I don't qualify for. Looks like students, first responders, handicap. I might qualify for $500 if I order. The other is a $500 trade assistance if I take a 36 month loan. Don't plan to borrow and my trade will cover most of the cost anyway.

I got an email a few days ago offering the $1,200 to incentivize me to buy another Ford vehicle but you confirmed it’s not a general incentive to anyone. Maybe you can use the info to negotiate a lower price from the dealership but generally then have to haggle with sales which is sometimes fun to do (as opposed to buying thru the fleet manager). Also not all dealerships have a fleet manager and some only deal with fleet sales or so I’ve heard.

Ended up buying a BSBL in Alto Blue with the 3 main options we wanted from Jones Ford in Buckeye yesterday afternoon. Did all the negotiating from home then drove down with trade and and cash. Took about 45 min at thre dealership to make the exchange. They took the dealer adds off and price was a little below MSRP.

We drove over 300 miles to Peoria Ford to pick up our 2025 Badlands 2 weeks ago. We always buy through the Fleet Dept. No pressure! Good experience.

IMO, the only dealer in the Phoenix metro area worth my time is Sanderson Ford in Glendale. I've bought a number of vehicles from them over the years, and trust them to always give me a fair deal. Got a great salesman, too.

I've personally had really bad experiences with Peoria Ford and Camelback Ford. We did purchase an Edge at Jones Ford in Buckeye because they had the exact model the wife wanted, but otherwise, Sanderson gets my business.

Good to hear. They're my closest dealer, and the one I bought my BS through (special order). Still, the order and purchase experience left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. But then, I've felt that way with every car I've bought.
