Talked to my dealer this morning after clicking āIām interestedā on the email.
Iām a day 1, hour 1 reservation holder, first in line out of 40 or so allocations as of June ā21 who is waiting out for a white MOD top or Heritage if itās not too expensive.
I have no vested interest in the Raptor, even if I didnāt think it was ugly, I hate the flashiness of it and what it says about me... that being said, Iād be stupid to not take advantage of this potential opportunity.
The sales manager will give me $15k (in writing) towards a Bronco of my choice, ordered through them, if I sign away my rights to this Bronco Raptor to them. If I want, say a 2023 Heritage though, and Ford plans to honor previous reservations like they did with the Raptor, this puts me at the back of the line. Iāve waited 23 years for a new Bronco after falling in love with Broncos and buying a rusted out 1974 wagon for $5k in 1999 and spending my 20ās snd early 30ās restoring it.
I only make about $55k a year and canāt afford payments on the Raptor model.
Should I take this deal?
alternatively, I could borrow downpayment $ from a family member, along with my ~$10k I have saved up in order to get the payments down to an affordable level (would still have high insurance, no?) and purchase the Raptor and gamble on re-selling it after a year.
Iād put almost no miles on it by keeping it mothballed in my garage, so that I could potentially make way more than $15k depending on taxes and ADM and paying back my family member (with interest), wherein I could potentially pay for a new (2024) Bronco outright with the windfall.
I donāt plan to have this Bronco as my primary vehicle, the new one for me is for weekends, family vacations and things I canāt do/donāt want to do with my early Bronco. What would you do if you were me?
