ADM is out of control!

So how does it look in your driveway? ?

But seriously, yeah, the Bronco in particular seems to have beyond absurd ADMs. I saw something similar at a dealership near SF.

And if people stop paying it the ADM will go away. If anyone has that much money laying about they can send it to me!​

Was curious about the possibility of buying a Mach-E off a dealership. It was a mistake to ever consider it. Reached out to villaford.com in Orange, CA and they called me back saying they had a Premium, 900 miles, sold back after several months by the owner because they wanted to claim the federal tax credit. I asked what the sticker price was and it was around 65000. 15k markup for a used car. Chitty Villa of Orange.

I'm not a pay over msrp kinda guy but evidently there must be many that are!

I think the only way to avoid ADMs on popular cars is to either order and wait several months, or through persistence and some luck find a cancelled order at a dealership that doesn’t do ADMs (believe it or not, they do exist).

Not that much.

it’s a cheap marketing ploy. No one is paying $30k ADM on a Bronco. But you can advertise any “asking price” you want. And people give them free advertising by posting on social media.

Good point.

Buyer of the car sold the car after a few months to the dealer. Next year, the buyer will claim the $7500 tax credit when filing their 2022 taxes. Profit!

But the next buyer would want to claim the tax credit too. Smells like a crime

They can't claim it because it'll be sold as used. Hopefully the 2nd buyer knows that. If not, they're going to have fun with the IRS.

Am I missing something here? Is the Bronco an EV?
