I've always had sunroofs in my cars. I've never heard of sunroofs leaking.

My son ordered the Bronco. He gets emails from Ford on fridays. Delays, delays delays. ..first they blamed COVID. Now its parts. My son knows more about the Bronco than the dealership. He has his 2005 Mustang getting repaired. Power steering pump leaks and something about a belt pulley. Mustang been sitting there since May 30. They ordered parts supposed to arrive Wednesday. Thursday afternoon supposed to be fixed. He has 175K miles on it. He's been waiting for Bronco. Probably 2023 model. Lol. Dealership doesn't have a loaner he can use , or a good used car he can buy. And rental company says nothing available even when their website says they do.

I heard the other day there was a wait list of 125,000+ for the new Bronco (but they are finally making it to dealers now), so good luck to your son at getting one.

So I guess our Blazer is supposed to be here by the end of the month. That actually didn't take too long. Just about two months.

We might have our Blazer Monday.

I haven't ordered a car since the 1980's. You usally end up paying about the same (or too close to matter) for one that doesn't have all the popular options, and I have to drive one before I'll sit down to deal on it.

The last time I ordered one, they wound up taking forever and not making the car. In the end it was a mess and more expensive. Never again.

Right now with the prices and low inventory of preowned low mileage vechicles it just made sense for us to go ahead and order one. It ended up only bring a few thousand more then one that was 3 years old.

It took about two months. Monday will be right about the two month mark. From what I understand cars that are sold to customers at dealerships right now are getting top priority. I guess dealers are doing a lot of factory ordering right now with such low inventory. Two months wasn't too bad. That seams like a normal even with the pandemic shortages. So excited to get it.

Tou can still test drive before ordering.
