Ford Dealer Lots OVERFLOWING! Bronco Lot Rot

Broncos and Wranglers sell very well in SoCal. Prices will probably start to come down later than elsewhere in the country. At least they are not still listing them with ADM like the geniuses at El Cajon Ford.
PS just looked. They do list them at ADM. May they suffer mightily when the market turns on them.

Biggest dealership in San Antonio has 52 new Broncos on their website right now. Cheapest option they have is $44,000 before tax and title for a Big Bend

Have you seen another manufactures dealership lot empty? They are all full where I am not just Fords. There are almost new Silverados stacked up as lawn ornaments in peoples yards and fields for sale everywhere, the lots are full. Just speaking on Jeeps alone the Fiat lots have been stacked on top of each other since early 2022 and nothing has moved other than the old ratty Jeeps from folks that didnt want to wait or swing for a Bronco when them and the wife got the fever like everyone else did. Honestly the only thing Fiat I have seen move out of lots and into hands around here other than the old Jeeps is the Gladiators that have been pimped most don't like them. I am watching people buy new Escapes and Edges all around me rather than the used Broncos becoming available that they wanted simply because used rates are incredibly ridiculous and the Escapes and Edges had rates they could live with. Thats facts and it blows my mind.

Might be Red Mccombs Ford. I stopped by to pick up the Lumen tow harness and they were flush with Broncos.
It’s good to know who the top 1 and 2 dealers are in a city cause they are usually looking to beat each other and get easier to deal with at month end. I got Southway to beat out Red the last day of a month on my last local purchase.
The 70's and 80's al.so had higher savings rates as well. I remember CD's with rates as high as 12% in the 80's and regular everyday saving accounts at 5.25%
I canceled 2 orders for Broncos. Did not think over 50k for everglades or a similar msrp for heritage ( one for me and one for the wife) made no sense with the high interest rates at the point of delivery. Interest rates and lack of flipping ability is why they can't sell them. Personally I was hyped for a Bronco but they made me wait over 2 years. In that time I had 392 wrangler and 4xe, recently picked up a maverick hybrid. I change my cars out often. However due to Ford's issues building them and high interest rates, them losing tons of value I moved on. Will likely try one out when prices stabilize or depreciation hits them at the 50% below new msrp pricing.

May be a long wait, especially for the lower soec'd ones. I sold a Wrangler JK Sport that was bone stock for 50% of MSRP after 10 years of ownership in late 2023. The Wrangler was the first ever vehicle that I purchased new because the difference in cost between a new Wrangler and a 3 year old one with 40 kmi at the time was just a few thousand (that was in 2013)

If buying new you must take a bath swapping cars often, as they generally lose quite a bit of value during the first several years after purchase. (Other than the recent Bronco situation which was more of an anomaly.) I've done well buying used, although I tend to hang onto vehicles, so I have seven at the moment, lol.

You need to avoid Jeep and Stellantis products for a couple of years too. Jeep is chopping prices because their vehicles are overpriced and not selling (many sit on the lot for 6+ months)
My new-ish Grand Cherokee has depreciated $20K in a year and developed the infamous Penastar tick (sub 10K miles) and is at the dealership this week. It's also leaking engine coolant lol.

Wrangler resale has been and is crazy, which is why I had no qualms about ordering my JL Rubi when things were dumb in Broncoland and ordering a base was on indefinite hold. Since I got a hefty discount off list, I could probably almost get what I paid for it today, almost a year later. I've never understood it, but welcome it.
