So I start a thread asking about people's opinions on the pricing forecast for broncos. People participate in the thread and basically say that I shouldn't worry about this. I explain why I'm thinking about it. And you say I'm wasting energy on mental masturbation and should just look for accessories.You are buying a Bronco in 2022 for the 2021 price protected MSRP. That is $2,800\$2445 off the 2022 price and a lot more off of the 2023 MSRP that will hit in a few months. While possible, if you sold your Bronco in 2023 you would need to be hugely unlucky with market forces to 'take a bath'.
If your expectation with your Bronco ownership is that you can 'have fun with it' and sell your DEPRECIATING asset in 2023 for more than you paid for it then maybe you need to recalibrate your expectations to prepare for potentially different outcomes in a very volatile industry vertical.
Honestly, this amount of mental masturbation and hand wringing doesn't seem worth the energy. I recommend you start researching Bronco accessories like the rest of us that are waiting or seek out an appreciating asset that will let you enjoy a much better value proposition.
And you do this, on a forum about broncos, in a section called "ordering pricing production . . ." on a thread called "bronco pricing forecast"
And meanwhile, you don't actually respond to the question or any of the data I've shared or other people have shared.
Also, I may choose to buy the bronco either way. I may choose to purchase it even if it will depreciate by more than $5,000 in a year. But it's still one factor. One factor among many.
if I'm going to buy a vehicle that is going to get 17 MPG, should I get a superduty diesel instead?
Should I wait to see when my lightning reservation turns into an order?
Should I just keep my current pickup and wait and see what happens to the used market over the next few years?
Am I really happy with this Area 51 color, which is obviously amazing, when the Red looks so damn good.
I have solar panels, maybe I should just order a Telsa Model X instead and then just use my current truck for adventures.
And many more.
And so this one factor is something I'm curious about, and frankly, I've seen some really great and informative responses. It's been well worth my time.
I'm leaning toward buying it. But about 40% of me wants to wait, see how things go, and buy a Red one 12-18 months.
I can think about this and think about accessories at the same time, by the way.
