Oooof.... I had a soldier of mine agree to 18% for a 3 year old Mustang.Dear god, the thought of an interest rate of 5.9% makes me feel like crying a river of baby tears.

Might wanna take that one in for a mental health evaluation ?Oooof.... I had a soldier of mine agree to 18% for a 3 year old Mustang.
Absolutely! It's been the most reliable and fun to drive car that I've ever owned. My son is 13 so I'm planning to keep mine in the family.Those 1st gen TSX’s were among the best ever built cars. We have a 2008 TSX that looks and drives every bit as good as the day we drove it off the dealer’s lot in March 2008. We will be selling our TSX after we acquire the Bronco as no need for 3 cars in the stable
No loan for me if I decide to buy a Bronco. Trade in+ cash. Dealers hate cash these days though. If they offered me 0% then maybe I would go for the loan and keep that money invested. I hate loans though.Why wait? You should already get preapproved for the loan through your bank so you know their terms. Then when you go to the dealership you know who has the better offer and go with it right then.
There is a risk, no doubt. In terms of first-year vs. follow on years, we will not benefit from those improvements. Those risks aside, Ford has been making trucks and SUVs for a while. There are some innovations on this vehicle, but I am counting on that experience and the LONG design cycle to have flushed out the major issues.I am eligible for X-plan through the company I work for as well as the equivalent plan for Jeep. It seems historically, the Jeep Wrangler holds it value AMAZINGLY well, even 10+ year old Wranglers with 150k on them. Is anyone else a bit concerned that once all of these deliveries start to pump out and people are paying MSRP (or more), eventually the demand will slow and the later first year or potential "bug fixed" second year models will get deeper discounts and incentives?
I've never been a car collector guy and don't suspect that I'll make money back on this vehicle, but I certainly wouldn't want to lose massive value in it if the first year models that are top dollar end up being known as the problematic year with the second year ones being deeper discounted and include tweaks and adjustments that hold better in the market?
Agree 100%!I have to say, I really don't care what happens next year. Only the FE might be seen as an "investment" and only then if you park it in a warehouse and maintain it for 10 years or longer. Otherwise this is just a depreciating asset. I've worked hard all my life. I still have my 2001 gen 1 Tacoma TRD that I bought brand new and it still makes me happy when I drive it. I'm 60 so I probably won't drive my Bronco for 20 years but I will damn sure enjoy every minute I do. Life is too short to live for money. Just my .02.
Somehow I quoted your thread on my response instead of the one above it that I meant to. It was a response to his question.No loan for me if I decide to buy a Bronco. Trade in+ cash.

Sorry if this was asked, but should we first see what the dealer is going to offer us in terms of financing? Then if it's something like 5.9%, tell them no and go get a loan elsewhere?
Gotcha. I'll get pre approved beforehand. I've got a pretty good credit score so I don't think I'll have to rely on the crap 5.9% rate if that's what Ford wants. I've financed my first car with Ford at a 7% rate. Super high but I was dumb and it was my first loan. Started financing a Subaru at a 1.9% rate though a year ago. I definitely will check at a bank first this time though. With trade in and a down payment though, I should be able to get about 50-75% down.Somehow I quoted your thread on my response instead of the one above it that I meant to.
