I don't think its terrible. Badlands let alone SAS Badlands are pretty tuff finds on dealer lots around me. $2k off is ballpark to Invoice pricing.Hey Y'all... my first post here, and hopefully I'm in the right place asking in the right way.
Looking at a new 2024 Badlands with Sas and Lux sitting at a dealer. $2k under MSRP.
Good price? Bad price? Just okay?
....I'm in my 60's and internalizing just how short life can be and that I'm gonna be dead for a very long time.
Reality is that I'm not sure how many new cars I'm gonna have. I can afford it, so thinking of indulging myself with exactly the spec I want and not sweat the price too much.

You have to keep in mind that they raised MSRP $10k-18K (some by removing trims and options, or increasing option prices), over 2 Model years, so $5K off is peanuts.I had time to waste today and went on Cars.com to check new bronco prices in my area. Now seeing $5k+ off MSRP on 2024's sitting on the lots as advertised, and the MSRP figure isn't being over-inflated like some dealers have done in my area as recently as June to make the perceived "discount" basically a wash to the real MSRP. Looks like a good time to buy a new Bronco!
Bought mine in late May at MSRP (ordered it). Not upset though as I have no intention of getting rid of it anytime soon, if ever. It'll become a weekend toy, then "yard art" before I get rid of it. Love it as much when it's sitting still as I do when it's flying down the road!
Pulling the trigger on a used 2023 in great shape. Has some interior scuffs, but I am going to use the crap outta this thing with overlanding trips, dogs, etc. Not like a Sunday driver.Since you're a former FJ-40 owner, I assume you will actually use the functionality you are buying in the Bronco. In that case yes, maybe spend for the extra spec.
My general advice is do things, don't buy things as a proxy for doing things. You still have time to have adventures with a Bronco, do things while you can.
She's gonna be mine on Friday. I'm pretty stoked!Pulling the trigger on a used 2023 in great shape. Has some interior scuffs, but I am going to use the crap outta this thing with overlanding trips, dogs, etc. Not like a Sunday driver.
"predelivery service fee"? GTFO. No way would I step foot in that place.Mass market manuals will never be in high demand. It's a niche market. During the peak Bronco prices, I mostly saw manuals on the lot and at discounts whereas everything else was selling $5-10K over.
This is the type of discount you should be seeking. These are pretty loaded Badlands with 2.7L, Lux, and hardtops. Not soft top with mid - that you would expect to be discounted.

Welcome to Florida. I visited a few dealerships last weekend as I was looking for a track car and wow… I forget how much I hate stealerships. $1200 for pre delivery fee, $500 for doc fee, $300 for e-registration filing on top of the government fee. Numerous dealerships had forced $1500 or $2495 packages that were pure trash (nitrogen, fabric protection, etc). Not optional. I computed it would cost me $3K on top of the sales tax and registration fees for every single car I looked at."predelivery service fee"? GTFO. No way would I step foot in that place.
