Good deal?

[ElBronc]

Thinking about getting back into a Bronco. I traded in my 22 Black Diamond for an Explorer ST almost 2 years ago.

I made some good money back on it and I had regretted not going Badlands high/lux.

Anyways, this is for sale near me. Think it's a good deal?

I don't know, but in my (limited) research over the past few weeks it seemed that used ones are no cheaper than, and maybe even more expensive than, new ones nowadays.

What does a new '24 or even a new '23 Badsquatch cost?

Manual soft top with 4 cylinder? No, but I am amazed at how many other 21 Badlands are still advertised at $47K when new almost fully loaded 23 Badlands were $52K after $10-13K in discounts.

Dealer has been sitting on that car for almost 2.5 months and not lowered the price an inch lol.

I'd been watching that exact spec nationwide and the quick-sell point is usually around $37k. I got mine in April of this year for $38k but it was exactly what I wanted (color, manual, Badlands, moar-door, lux, optional wheels, etc.), had leather, and was on the road-trip drive home with the family after my truck broke.

That said, I bought mine with triple the miles of the one you linked. It's probably a good price.

Check if it's an early or late model year truck. Having a '21 with the rear rollcage mounts already in place is worth a couple extra bucks for the convenience of it all.

Rear roll cage mounts? You mean the threaded holes? Did some not have them?

Yeah the early ones didn't have them, and when they did start adding them to the Broncos it was spotty at best. There's at least 1 person on this forum that only has them on the driver's side from the factory.

Check out 2024 new prices especially after 2025s start getting ordered. I would wait

IDK, I'd be weary buying a vehicle that had so many modifications done to it, but that's just me. I'm a weirdo with a Base who thinks adding rubber floor mats is a 'mod'.

What modifications?
Stick-on plastic corner protectors, a bug guard, and some wheels?
Edit- and a light bar.

IDK, seems crazy, right?
What would that build cost now, as a '24?
$58,300 on the B&P.
Incentives and dealers willing to sell below MSRP are out there, but there is the "Sticker" roughly for comparing against new with 12K less miles and 3 years newer. With stock tires and wheels.

Yeah man, don't forget that light bar, too.

The carguru listing is incorrect. Manual transmission Broncos don't have remote start. I'd definitely check everything else in the description.

I wouldn't consider buying a Bronco with a soft top. But I'm in Phoenix and I tend to keep vehicles a very long time. Also there are only one or two racks that are compatible with the soft top.

 

[ElBronc]

Thanks for the replies everyone. I've decided not to get this Bronco. Went and test drove it, drove kinda rough. Don't know why. My BD sasquatch felt smoother. Plus the soft top was just too noisy.

I'll keep looking. Thanks again

12K miles on a 3-year-old truck? That works in its favor. You want to service record on it, too, plus the CarFax.
The mods on it give me a queer feeling, like it was customized by some high school kid who wasn't allowed to drive it much...or far. Two things I'd like to know: Is that lightbar a serious item, or just something which looks cool, like the fender flares? I see Jeeps with crap lightbars in my student neighborhood, young bucks who want to impress the sorority girls.
Secondly, I'd crawl under and look for signs of off-road use. My guess is you won't find much, if any--which works to the truck's favor. For that matter, is it all original Sasquatch on the underside, or were there any improvements?

Hmmm....closer look at the wheels. I can't identify them, but those are KO2s. He also put on the corner armor (which I have, and recommend), and Gatorback mudflaps. So I think it was modified seriously and intelligently. But I do wonder about the trail lights.

If you're game for the MT, consider lowballing him. "This has been sitting on your lot for over three months, it's a manual which appeals to a very small market, and with all those trail modifications, even fewer, because it's just too modified for the country club set. You'll get people who will look at it as a curiosity but aren't going to buy. So I'm a rare type who knows what "Bronco" is really all about. I'll take it off your hands for $37K, cause it'll be a long time before anybody comes in and is willing to spring $40K, never mind $43K, not with the ready availability of the 2025s coming in. Or do you just plan to park it in front for people to gawk at?"

Edit: throw in those factors (noise, soft-top, ride) in negotiating if you reconsider.
