I own a 1977 Ford LTD. And though it is a base model and lacks all the amenities that make it a luxury car, I am grateful to have it instead of any new car out there today, gas or battery operated. When I bought it, it had about 30,000 miles on it and I only paid $11,000 for it, not $90,000.
For the first time, I say Ford has actually fallen behind Dodge in reliability. I had an Intrepid and it ran 9 trouble free years and 75,000 miles.

That's why Wranglers are getting so awful. Ignore the fans, they're just trying to hide the fact that a Wrangler in the last year or two is overpriced trash. I wouldn't buy one even if I won the lottery.
This explains why I keep getting ads for a giveaway contest for a Ford Sport. I keep looking up articles about the Ford Sports having a fuel leak issue, but the unresponsive TH-cam algorithm still hasn't received the message.
AL the buyers who wanted a non SFA offroader bought them... all the serious off-roaders will stick to the wrangler... bronco was destined to sell well its first 3 yrs ( like the gladiator) as people who wanted a nice road ride off roader bought them.. but now that buyer has bought.......and is gone... even if that buyer was to re buy for offroading ...he would get a wrangler for its SFA....... bronco buyers i belive who want to offroad wil ALL convert to wranglers
NICE AND USEFUL video man. Subscribed! It is interesting how the cars are price depreciating with more years but as you can see, dealers and independent sellers stills wanna get short in their first investments recovering on it. So it looks that even if they are still used, are way expensive than the MSRP for an used cars or industry average standard price.
Love the bronco. Finally some deals - dealers around here or annoying for the last two years, so I’m happy to tell them no now. Just got a 26k discount on Jeep wrangler rubicon, maybe go bronco or Land Cruiser in a couple years
Buying a new vehicle before paying off your mortgage AND maxing out your retirement fund is wetoddid unless you are either genuinely rich or need one for business. Personal non-business trucks are TOYS which is totally cool (I collect vintage motorcycles) but toys should never hurt the budget. I pay cash for my rides and retired debt-free at 47 because I refuse to buy unwisely.
Local ford dealership tried to charge an extra $700 for a "preinstalled" 3 year subscription KARR "SWAT" security feature that was not listed on their advertised online sale price. Needed "management approval" to remove it. Asked how long it takes to remove and it's 15 minutes..... turns out the feature can be added on anytime, and the free FORD PASS app also includes the vehicle GPS location anyways. Their reasoning for the preinstallation was that too many cars were being stolen from their lot.
Just got a 23 Bronco badlands lux sticker was $66525 got it for $62119. Had to wear them down for like 3 weeks but eventually they sold. Was on their lot over 90 days. Still had a dealer in the LA area tell me they wouldn’t sell without markups and they had badlands on their lot for over 100 days!
Recently went to a Ford Dealer in FL for a minor recall on my 2017 Explorer. While on the lot we looked at Broncos. All were loaded down with BS options. Cheapest one was 65k. Salesman came over and in so many words said they would sell these vehicles at the listed price and would not come down. They also had numerous 2023 models of all Ford vehicles stacked in overflow lots. At some point this will bite them but for some reason, right now, they don't appear to be concerned.
All vehicles have problems, but Ford Broncos have many problems across the board. Not properly done with 37s with not enough power. It slows down the vehicle more and stress the hell out of the vehicle. Bad design for long term. Ford is so jelous of Jeep Wranglers, but they need decades of experiences to even learn the ups and downs of the new redesign Honda Civic like Bronco. Even the Jeep 392 doesn't even have 37s from the factory even with the amazing V8. Jeep does it the right way when it comes to the Wrangler and not to mention it maintains the spirit of the Wrangler no matter what year you get since 1941. There's a reason why massive amount of loyal customers remains to be Wrangler owners despite of the issues just like other vehicles. It's nice to have a bit of competition, but with all the proper knowledge and experiences of the Wrangler, I'd rather take a chance on that rather than the new problematic Bronco. Maybe another 10 to 15 more years, I'll give a Bronco a shot.
Tell me you don't own one, or know anyone that does without telling me. I have a 23 badlands with sas, 2.7. Paid 53k. Not enough power? Wtf are you talking about. I'm also a colorado bronco member, we have over 2.5k members and the problems being posted are pretty minimal. But you keep dreaming in lala land over there.
If the median income is x. Who can afford these luxury trucks? After the easy sales, then you have people struggling with housing. Too bad the Maverick is a rebadged Escape. Rooting for Ford, but…
Dang man, I can’t make a decision on what off-road vehicle to get!!! One day I’m all in for the Bronco then watch a video of reliability which pushes me over to the 4Runner because I’m definitely not getting a Jeep product.
Honestly, the 4 door Wild Trak is a nice truck but seriously over priced in my opinion at close to $70K. At $45K I'd be at the dealer tomorrow. Same for the Raptor. At $65K I wouldn't hesitate but for $90 they can keep it. There is no reason that the Bronco Raptor should be anywhere near the cost of the F150 Raptor. Ford is insane.
Great program here. You are spot on. 2023 what are they thinking? These rides all have lot rot. I bet all the wires are all chewed up by the squirrels..
That's why I'm screwed. I can't buy a new car because I know there's a 90% chance I'll have to do a lot of repairs and that would be soul-crushing. Spending over $35K on a "new" car and having to repair it because of lot rot issues. And trust me, the evil brands WILL fight you on warranty issues even though they know the stealership is partly at fault.
Just saw a refused Bronco Raptor and a few other trims. The Raptor looked nice but I wonder if it’s the rates/pricing or the problems that they have experienced driving this.
Actually ordered and purchased a 2022 Raptor at MSRP which was around $72000. Also ordered and just picked up a 2 Dr Heritage last week. Had they not given me $4250 off for a private offer for the Heritage, would have told them to keep it. The days of ordering one make no sense. X Plan is now available as well but not sure if it’s worth it if you can negotiate o e on the lot.
The only reason that they are not selling is that the price is just too high. Between the horrid overpricing of the company and the greed of their dealers, you’d have trouble selling anything. This video is a waste of time
I priced out a 24 F-150 XL 2 dr 4X4 V-8 with NO OPTIONS and it was $48K! The worst part of all of this is that they gave me a low ball offer on my 13 F-150 and with 10 grand down my payments would be $500 for the first 3 years and then go up to around 900 for the last 3 years. I am a Ford guy but, they need to re think what people want. All I want is a V-8, 4wd, and an automatic if you have one and no crap I don't need or want.
Not too mention the POS 10 speed transmission guaranteed to fail the CDF drums they have only recently updated. Millions are needing this critical update and Ford is being shady not recalling the defect
OMG!! I ran across this page and I realized < I have seen this guy before. I did a photoshoot of all your sales team back in 2011. I was friends with Tim Klingenberger.
This is good news…hopefully Raptors continue to sit and come back down to reality. Hoping to grab one at a better price possibly certified used with a really long Warranty
You will run into a new issue that many new buyers never ran into before: lot rot. It's simply caused by the car sitting in the freezing cold/blazing sun for months and months. The list is so long I can't even think of where to begin. It's NORMAL to find critters and crickets living in your a/c vents or a few bird nests. And if you're foolish enough to buy, DEMAND a new battery with the deal at no charge. There is no way the original will last because it has been jump started so many times by tire-kickers wanting to test drive but walked away after the stealership refused to be reasonable on pricing.
Just got a Bronco Raptor on the lot today. PDI tomorrow and should be on the show room floor by tomorrow afternoon. MSRP $94k. Ask me again tomorrow and tell you if they did a mark up. I’ll also let you know when it sells. Anyone take a guess at how long it will be here? I’m located in North East Florida. It’s a 2024 in shelter green with matching fender flares.
@@Evergladesbronco good to see no markup these days. Let us know how long it sits! I'm waiting till late 24 to scoop up a 24. The matched painted fenders is a must.
The inventory situation is worse than you’re describing. Wranglers, Gladiators, and Broncos are all in a bad place. We’re entering the second quarter of 2024 and there’s about 2K 2023 Wranglers, 7.5K Gladiators, and 9K Gladiators. Jeep has major incentives on the Gladiator (15% off MSRP) and some on the Wrangler ($7,500 off 4xe’s), but Ford thinking a few grand off MSRP will help is hilarious. These aren’t going to sell until they come down to earth. The data makes it crystal clear that people don’t have money as the higher trims are still around in massive quantities for a 1.5 year old vehicle. Good luck selling those 2023 Raptors in 2025 Ford. Vehicles don’t do well if they’re not driven much for two plus years. They’ll all need a few oil changes, I’d request new tires due to the lot rot, and various other fluids should be replaced at minimum. Anyway, Jeep got serious with the Gladiator issue and have sold about 5K Gladiators in the last 2 months as they did have over 12K units in December/January. You can find deals on gladiators for 30% off MSRP before negotiating a thing, which is what they need to do to offload these things before the situation gets worse when they probably discontinue or update the vehicle. Gladiators are easier to offload though since they’re a truck and are the second best selling in its class as the entire segment is down. Meanwhile Ford and the dealers are in for a bad time. It’s very simple math right now. Debt is awful, missed payments, repossessions, and credit card debt are all rising at the fastest rate since 2008. Pair that with inflation for the last 3 years and it spells doom for the auto industry for the next few years. Ford needs to wave the white flag and put 10-30% off these things and move some metal. But I’m telling you people are in very bad shape financially and even good incentives are not helping as much as in the past so they’ll have to go much higher. Every $10K financed is $200+ per month. Good luck selling those Raptors Ford, that’s an awfully tough task with this much aging inventory.
Also, for those of you who don’t know, inventory isn’t measured in a raw number. Inventory with products like vehicles and houses are measured taking the raw number divided by the rate of sales. If inventory is high and the sales rate declines it raises the inventory figure exponentially. Someone is going to be left holding the bag here and it’s looking like Ford.
Be VERY careful. Although it's illegal, stealerships are still trying this. DEMAND to see the original documents and check the VIN. Don't be too surprised if they try to sell you a 2023 model with 2024 paperwork. One guy found out online because he was smart write the VIN and compare it with the car the stealership claimed was the same one. They actually had the balls to deny any wrongdoing so he walked out. No surprise, the car listed was yanked from the website immediately. That's how slimy they're getting.
The Bronco and Mustang are trending downward. The Bronco is way off the mark, sliding 25.8 percent with 24,066 sales compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, the Jeep Wrangler stepped up to 38,308 units sold for 2024 so far, a very minor 1-percent increase. It firmly establishes the Wrangler as the sales leader in this niche off-road segment.
I was excited about the new Bronco. I owned a 1995 Bronco up until 5 years ago. It was a very reliable vehicle, it was a simple 302 with a 5spd manual. I keep my vehicles for 15-20 years, so when I purchase a vehicle I look at long term maintenance and ease of repair. I'm mechanically inclined (just rebuilt a 5.0 Coyote), so I know what can go wrong, and I know the hassles that one can face when working on their own vehicles. That being said I was not interested in a small to medium displacement turbo engine. They are not reliable long term, especially from Ford. I did not need 350+ ftlbs of torque, I would have been happy with an N/A V6 or better yet the 5.0 Coyote. I also do not believe that the current pricing is in line with what the vehicle is worth. Ford really screwed me bad with my last Explorer, and they proved to me that they love to talk technology, but when that tech fails they do not stand behind their products. They need to go back to the drawing board and keep it simple. Make a quality product, that is somewhat easy to maintain, and not overly burdened by tech. Ford failed EV push should prove to everyone that they are not in touch with the average consumer.
Jeep is overpricing their vehicles too. Just saying. BUT there is more than one used jeep for plenty of affordable prices finding an unmolested one is hard tho 80% of the jeeps you see have serious issues and will be sold to you.
I tried to buy a Bronco for a year. First, the huge dealer markups drove me away, then I couldn't order the options I wanted, then I couldn't order the trim level, then I couldn't order a manual, then the next model year debuted and the price went way up again and they dropped the base trim. Whoever is managing the garbage at Ford is a moron. I ended up buying a Jeep, and I couldn't be happier. I'll own Jeeps for the rest of my life.
I'll keep my Jeep Thank-You. Ive got about $21,xxx in it, INCLUDING what i originally paid for it and it WILL last longer than these new "Bronco's" AND run circles around 'em. 😉👍 These new Bronco's are todays H-2's 😂
It cost 28k to reserve one in 202... they want almost 40k for the same 2 door bronco. Ford can eat a bag on ding-a-lings b/c 40k opens up A LOT of options for vehicles and a Ford isn't on my radar in that price range.

This explains why I keep getting ads for a giveaway contest for a Ford Sport. I keep looking up articles about the Ford Sports having a fuel leak issue, but the unresponsive TH-cam algorithm still hasn't received the message.
AL the buyers who wanted a non SFA offroader bought them... all the serious off-roaders will stick to the wrangler... bronco was destined to sell well its first 3 yrs ( like the gladiator) as people who wanted a nice road ride off roader bought them.. but now that buyer has bought.......and is gone... even if that buyer was to re buy for offroading ...he would get a wrangler for its SFA....... bronco buyers i belive who want to offroad wil ALL convert to wranglers
I watched off road videos comparing the bronco to the wrangler.... it was embarrassing how superior the wrangler was.
A guy is selling aftermarket kits to beef up the tie rods on the Bronco that break during serious off roading.@@beatrixbrennan1545
NICE AND USEFUL video man. Subscribed! It is interesting how the cars are price depreciating with more years but as you can see, dealers and independent sellers stills wanna get short in their first investments recovering on it. So it looks that even if they are still used, are way expensive than the MSRP for an used cars or industry average standard price.
Love the bronco. Finally some deals - dealers around here or annoying for the last two years, so I’m happy to tell them no now.
Just got a 26k discount on Jeep wrangler rubicon, maybe go bronco or Land Cruiser in a couple years
A jeep ??? They should of gave u 100% off window sticker those shit are garbage 🤮
hey whatever - i will have it for less than warranty so who cares? certainly you don't think Ford's turbo's are better?@@eminabramov209
Buying a new vehicle before paying off your mortgage AND maxing out your retirement fund is wetoddid unless you are either genuinely rich or need one for business.
Personal non-business trucks are TOYS which is totally cool (I collect vintage motorcycles) but toys should never hurt the budget. I pay cash for my rides and retired debt-free at 47 because I refuse to buy unwisely.
Exactly my thinking as well. Too many kids taking out huge loans for cars they can barely make the monthly payment on
Local ford dealership tried to charge an extra $700 for a "preinstalled" 3 year subscription KARR "SWAT" security feature that was not listed on their advertised online sale price. Needed "management approval" to remove it. Asked how long it takes to remove and it's 15 minutes..... turns out the feature can be added on anytime, and the free FORD PASS app also includes the vehicle GPS location anyways. Their reasoning for the preinstallation was that too many cars were being stolen from their lot.
Just got a 23 Bronco badlands lux sticker was $66525 got it for $62119. Had to wear them down for like 3 weeks but eventually they sold. Was on their lot over 90 days. Still had a dealer in the LA area tell me they wouldn’t sell without markups and they had badlands on their lot for over 100 days!
Which is crazy cause Ford threatened to cut their allotments if they were still charging markups.
Recently went to a Ford Dealer in FL for a minor recall on my 2017 Explorer. While on the lot we looked at Broncos. All were loaded down with BS options. Cheapest one was 65k. Salesman came over and in so many words said they would sell these vehicles at the listed price and would not come down. They also had numerous 2023 models of all Ford vehicles stacked in overflow lots.
At some point this will bite them but for some reason, right now, they don't appear to be concerned.
Why would anyone pay over 50k for any version of a Bronco.
Just got an offer out the door of 64k for a Wild Track fully loaded!
@@Chief_5hell yeah I would get it!
All vehicles have problems, but Ford Broncos have many problems across the board. Not properly done with 37s with not enough power. It slows down the vehicle more and stress the hell out of the vehicle. Bad design for long term. Ford is so jelous of Jeep Wranglers, but they need decades of experiences to even learn the ups and downs of the new redesign Honda Civic like Bronco. Even the Jeep 392 doesn't even have 37s from the factory even with the amazing V8. Jeep does it the right way when it comes to the Wrangler and not to mention it maintains the spirit of the Wrangler no matter what year you get since 1941. There's a reason why massive amount of loyal customers remains to be Wrangler owners despite of the issues just like other vehicles. It's nice to have a bit of competition, but with all the proper knowledge and experiences of the Wrangler, I'd rather take a chance on that rather than the new problematic Bronco. Maybe another 10 to 15 more years, I'll give a Bronco a shot.
Tell me you don't own one, or know anyone that does without telling me. I have a 23 badlands with sas, 2.7. Paid 53k. Not enough power? Wtf are you talking about. I'm also a colorado bronco member, we have over 2.5k members and the problems being posted are pretty minimal. But you keep dreaming in lala land over there.
@@ixibladeixi2639 lol 😆
You forgot to mention Fords quality control is a train wreck...in my opinion in 2-4 years these will be rolling money pits
Like my dad's drinking buddy said: "Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily." He wasn't kidding.
If the median income is x. Who can afford these luxury trucks?
After the easy sales, then you have people struggling with housing.
Too bad the Maverick is a rebadged Escape.
Rooting for Ford, but…
Those Escapes are around $45k!
Not worth more than about $25-27k
I got a 2024 Ford Bronco Black Diamond with $3500 off MSRP. Location: San Jose. Time: June. 2024
I would get the basic 2 dr with a stick , then mod it to my taste and budget.
I'll just keep my 2010 FJ Cruiser....
Dang man, I can’t make a decision on what off-road vehicle to get!!!
One day I’m all in for the Bronco then watch a video of reliability which pushes me over to the 4Runner because I’m definitely not getting a Jeep product.
Bronco brother. Bronco
Honestly, the 4 door Wild Trak is a nice truck but seriously over priced in my opinion at close to $70K. At $45K I'd be at the dealer tomorrow. Same for the Raptor. At $65K I wouldn't hesitate but for $90 they can keep it. There is no reason that the Bronco Raptor should be anywhere near the cost of the F150 Raptor. Ford is insane.
Great program here. You are spot on. 2023 what are they thinking? These rides all have lot rot. I bet all the wires are all chewed up by the squirrels..
That's why I'm screwed. I can't buy a new car because I know there's a 90% chance I'll have to do a lot of repairs and that would be soul-crushing. Spending over $35K on a "new" car and having to repair it because of lot rot issues. And trust me, the evil brands WILL fight you on warranty issues even though they know the stealership is partly at fault.
Just saw a refused Bronco Raptor and a few other trims. The Raptor looked nice but I wonder if it’s the rates/pricing or the problems that they have experienced driving this.
Are these tips for buying only for getting an older (2023) or is this for new ones?
We want a Raptor, but they are just priced too high. I looked on Autotrader and 271 were available within a 300-mile radius.
You kind of touched on it at the end.....New cars are for Chumps. Anyone paying the kind of money for a Ford (garbage) is a Chump X2.
Actually ordered and purchased a 2022 Raptor at MSRP which was around $72000. Also ordered and just picked up a 2 Dr Heritage last week.
Had they not given me $4250 off for a private offer for the Heritage, would have told them to keep it.
The days of ordering one make no sense.
X Plan is now available as well but not sure if it’s worth it if you can negotiate o e on the lot.
The only reason that they are not selling is that the price is just too high. Between the horrid overpricing of the company and the greed of their dealers, you’d have trouble selling anything.
This video is a waste of time
Currently looking at them, over 10% markup on all models in my area. And they've been sitting on lots for a while
bought a used toyota 4runner never looked back
I priced out a 24 F-150 XL 2 dr 4X4 V-8 with NO OPTIONS and it was $48K! The worst part of all of this is that they gave me a low ball offer on my 13 F-150 and with 10 grand down my payments would be $500 for the first 3 years and then go up to around 900 for the last 3 years. I am a Ford guy but, they need to re think what people want. All I want is a V-8, 4wd, and an automatic if you have one and no crap I don't need or want.
Where do you get the inventory data?
Bronco and Wrangler are both 30% overpriced
No, it's more like 50% overpriced.
Finally someone appreciates the Wildtrak. Not sure why Badlands gets all the glory.
I'm looking at a two door badlands with the 4 and a manual. It seems like to much money for what it is.
Not too mention the POS 10 speed transmission guaranteed to fail the CDF drums they have only recently updated. Millions are needing this critical update and Ford is being shady not recalling the defect
OMG!! I ran across this page and I realized < I have seen this guy before. I did a photoshoot of all your sales team back in 2011. I was friends with Tim Klingenberger.
You did a great job... I still love that picture.
This is good news…hopefully Raptors continue to sit and come back down to reality. Hoping to grab one at a better price possibly certified used with a really long Warranty
You will run into a new issue that many new buyers never ran into before: lot rot. It's simply caused by the car sitting in the freezing cold/blazing sun for months and months. The list is so long I can't even think of where to begin. It's NORMAL to find critters and crickets living in your a/c vents or a few bird nests. And if you're foolish enough to buy, DEMAND a new battery with the deal at no charge. There is no way the original will last because it has been jump started so many times by tire-kickers wanting to test drive but walked away after the stealership refused to be reasonable on pricing.
Aren't they made in mexico? At least the jeeps are made in the us.
just the sports, full frame Dearborn, Michigan
I have never spent more than $14000 plus tax for a car. I never will.
Got off my lawn! Old man yells at cloud…
@@anthonywood8587 You MUST be a salesman. lol
@@anthonywood8587I don't drive around in my money. My 2008 Ford runs great.
Must depend where you live? I live near Boston and I see a lot of new broncos. Also I’ve checked local dealers and no 2023’s to be had around here.
Just got a Bronco Raptor on the lot today. PDI tomorrow and should be on the show room floor by tomorrow afternoon. MSRP $94k. Ask me again tomorrow and tell you if they did a mark up. I’ll also let you know when it sells. Anyone take a guess at how long it will be here? I’m located in North East Florida. It’s a 2024 in shelter green with matching fender flares.
Let us know 👀
It doesn’t matter if they a mark up or not when u go pick it up you’ll pay whatever they tell you to pay o
No mark up. $94k on the lot now
@@Evergladesbronco good to see no markup these days. Let us know how long it sits! I'm waiting till late 24 to scoop up a 24. The matched painted fenders is a must.
@@wsmart88 I agree and wish I could add a picture to a comment. The shelter green with matching fenders is dope
I wonder if the 3-5 year depreciation will be rough.
80k I rather get the one from the 90s and build it to my own spec. Truck and build would max be 20k
The inventory situation is worse than you’re describing. Wranglers, Gladiators, and Broncos are all in a bad place. We’re entering the second quarter of 2024 and there’s about 2K 2023 Wranglers, 7.5K Gladiators, and 9K Gladiators. Jeep has major incentives on the Gladiator (15% off MSRP) and some on the Wrangler ($7,500 off 4xe’s), but Ford thinking a few grand off MSRP will help is hilarious. These aren’t going to sell until they come down to earth. The data makes it crystal clear that people don’t have money as the higher trims are still around in massive quantities for a 1.5 year old vehicle. Good luck selling those 2023 Raptors in 2025 Ford. Vehicles don’t do well if they’re not driven much for two plus years. They’ll all need a few oil changes, I’d request new tires due to the lot rot, and various other fluids should be replaced at minimum. Anyway, Jeep got serious with the Gladiator issue and have sold about 5K Gladiators in the last 2 months as they did have over 12K units in December/January. You can find deals on gladiators for 30% off MSRP before negotiating a thing, which is what they need to do to offload these things before the situation gets worse when they probably discontinue or update the vehicle. Gladiators are easier to offload though since they’re a truck and are the second best selling in its class as the entire segment is down. Meanwhile Ford and the dealers are in for a bad time. It’s very simple math right now. Debt is awful, missed payments, repossessions, and credit card debt are all rising at the fastest rate since 2008. Pair that with inflation for the last 3 years and it spells doom for the auto industry for the next few years. Ford needs to wave the white flag and put 10-30% off these things and move some metal. But I’m telling you people are in very bad shape financially and even good incentives are not helping as much as in the past so they’ll have to go much higher. Every $10K financed is $200+ per month. Good luck selling those Raptors Ford, that’s an awfully tough task with this much aging inventory.
Also, for those of you who don’t know, inventory isn’t measured in a raw number. Inventory with products like vehicles and houses are measured taking the raw number divided by the rate of sales. If inventory is high and the sales rate declines it raises the inventory figure exponentially. Someone is going to be left holding the bag here and it’s looking like Ford.
Be VERY careful. Although it's illegal, stealerships are still trying this. DEMAND to see the original documents and check the VIN. Don't be too surprised if they try to sell you a 2023 model with 2024 paperwork. One guy found out online because he was smart write the VIN and compare it with the car the stealership claimed was the same one. They actually had the balls to deny any wrongdoing so he walked out. No surprise, the car listed was yanked from the website immediately. That's how slimy they're getting.
Preach my Brother 🎉🎉🎉
I ordered a Big Bend because it fits all my needs and budget and I’m not doing much off-roading and no rock climbing so FU.
What is a good target price on the Raptor?
Under $100k. I've never seen a single one in my state priced UNDER $105k!
The Bronco and Mustang are trending downward. The Bronco is way off the mark, sliding 25.8 percent with 24,066 sales compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, the Jeep Wrangler stepped up to 38,308 units sold for 2024 so far, a very minor 1-percent increase. It firmly establishes the Wrangler as the sales leader in this niche off-road segment.
I was excited about the new Bronco. I owned a 1995 Bronco up until 5 years ago. It was a very reliable vehicle, it was a simple 302 with a 5spd manual. I keep my vehicles for 15-20 years, so when I purchase a vehicle I look at long term maintenance and ease of repair. I'm mechanically inclined (just rebuilt a 5.0 Coyote), so I know what can go wrong, and I know the hassles that one can face when working on their own vehicles. That being said I was not interested in a small to medium displacement turbo engine. They are not reliable long term, especially from Ford. I did not need 350+ ftlbs of torque, I would have been happy with an N/A V6 or better yet the 5.0 Coyote. I also do not believe that the current pricing is in line with what the vehicle is worth. Ford really screwed me bad with my last Explorer, and they proved to me that they love to talk technology, but when that tech fails they do not stand behind their products. They need to go back to the drawing board and keep it simple. Make a quality product, that is somewhat easy to maintain, and not overly burdened by tech. Ford failed EV push should prove to everyone that they are not in touch with the average consumer.
I got a great deal on a 23 F-150 last Nov. I got 14k off sticker.
You got $14k off discount out of $90k ? 😮
YOU STILL GOT BURNED .
No the truck was no where near that price.
Still got burned.
Let’s see ur contract ur bullshittin unless it was a lighting
Jeep is overpricing their vehicles too.
Just saying.
BUT there is more than one used jeep for plenty of affordable prices
finding an unmolested one is hard tho 80% of the jeeps you see have serious issues and will be sold to you.
No V8 no sale here. That 7.3l would be sweet in a Bronco.
Yeah right 😂
Might as well just drop a 1000 hp super cobra jet engine in it….go big or go home goof ball
Calm down on all those triple 6 hand signals.
Just got my Bronco raptor allocation. Lessgo!!
There is $20K ADM on Raptors in Santa Rosa.
All overpriced
Should put the 3.5 eco boost in it or the coyote no one wants a powerless engine it’s a bronco they came with v8s originally
I tried to buy a Bronco for a year. First, the huge dealer markups drove me away, then I couldn't order the options I wanted, then I couldn't order the trim level, then I couldn't order a manual, then the next model year debuted and the price went way up again and they dropped the base trim. Whoever is managing the garbage at Ford is a moron. I ended up buying a Jeep, and I couldn't be happier. I'll own Jeeps for the rest of my life.
The pricing is crazy with all manufacturers is out of this world
I am trying to negotiate a BMW X1 but the best lease I can get on a 47,000 build is 832,00 month. My goal is below 600,00
Prices too high, no V8 or F-150 based Bronco, build quality down and #1 for recalls.... wonder why Broncos are not selling.....?
Great informative video
Let's see here, i might have some loose change in my pocket...
Ford broncos are everywhere people are buying them by the droves
Bought my base for 42k with Sasquatch and added all my options haha
Ford raised over 10k on bronco raptors for 23 year model for no reason.
The bronco raptor is absolutely incredible there’s nothing out there like it, it’s amazing!!!!
I'll keep my Jeep Thank-You.
Ive got about $21,xxx in it, INCLUDING what i originally paid for it and it WILL last longer than these new "Bronco's" AND run circles around 'em. 😉👍
These new Bronco's are todays H-2's 😂
It cost 28k to reserve one in 202... they want almost 40k for the same 2 door bronco. Ford can eat a bag on ding-a-lings b/c 40k opens up A LOT of options for vehicles and a Ford isn't on my radar in that price range.
No thanks! Way too much $ for even the base.
SUCH A TINY PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WILL EVER TAKE ONE OFF ROAD
Always remember they charged way over msrp for a long time. Ripping everybody off. What did they expect
