Have First Edition Broncos held their value?

[N8RsLBFE]

I'm in the panhandle of FL and a dealer here sold one last week for 76k, but I'm sure he budged a little before selling. I bought mine a few days later much closer to msrp. I think any FE, wildtrak, or badlands is gonna still demand higher prices for a year or two based on how hard a time Ford has had producing the higher trims, but time will tell.

If you can keep it all original and wait 50 years….

I have a 2021 4-door First Edition which I will be looking to sell soon. After 15K miles, I’ve determined I need something else for a commuter vehicle, so have ordered a Tesla Y Performance.

I‘m looking to sell private party and noticed that the prices are still healthy on sites like Kelly Blue Book, but have seen some much lower on other sites. Any perspective on how much in demand these still are / used vehicle prices?

Thanks in advance!

They've held their value to an extent but not what they were.

I sold my First Edition 4dr with 2300 miles to a dealer for $72k. They listed it for $80k and have since lowered it to $74k. It's still available.

I have a 2 door FE purchased December of 21 with around 18 k miles currently and I am still completely enamored with my rig…. And though I paid over MSRP at the time, I still feel like it is the best purchase I’ve made in my life. The amount of fun I have received from getting into the four wheel drive world here in northern CA, including tackling at least 10 to 15 new trails of varying difficulty, has been immeasurable. Also I have had a couple minor mechanical issues, which Ford resolved professionally and immediately, but luckily no concerns with my hardtop. Finally, after buying my challenger in 09 and then my bronco in 21, I decided to keep both until I’m six feet under, so the financial worth of my rigs hopefully won’t be a concern for awhile

I will say that the Bronco is an amazing vehicle. Still gets head turns even with more on the streets. My issue is that I don’t use it for any of the things it’s great for. Meaning, I don’t drive trails, go off-road, etc. It’s just a “mall crawler” for me, so I feel like it’s a waste to have all this $ tied up in something I’ll never maximize the use for. It’s a little too loud for daily commutes - not bad, but noticeable. And because I drive it daily, I‘ve stopped taking the top off on the weekends because it’s too much of a hassle to get on and off weekly. To be honest, this would be an amazing second vehicle, for the weekend, but it’s just not for me driving it 100+ miles each day to and from work.

Exactly why I have a Toyota hybrid as my primary getting 40 MPG. I commute 62 miles round trip daily.

Interesting choice, did you consider a Mach E?

I bought one last December for 70k. 8k miles and pristine condition other than a small issue or two.

It had an electrical issue at first, but dealer charged up the battery and no issues since. Hard top doesn’t have any issues at all. TCU was dead, but it’s getting fixed under warranty. Just waiting for it since it’s on back order (surprise).

I followed the market months before that and people were keeping prices in the upper 70s and 80s. The guy I got mine from got the memo that nobody was paying that much.

I paid 70 because I wanted one and I needed a winter daily driver. Of course we’re having the mildest winter here. Lol

A smart buyer will check the engine Julian date. No guarantees there, but after September build I feel is a better bet.

Overall, it doesn’t seem to matter which exterior color or interior, similar prices.

So overall, despite owning one, what most are saying here seems correct. They are still above msrp, but not some special sought after vehicle commanding 20k over msrp cost (Like they were out the gate).

A collector vehicle should have under 1000 miles on it. Face it, who wants to save a truck that already has scratches and smells like somebody’s dog with this many potential defects and warranty running out? Plus Ford certainly proved true the old axiom that you dont want to buy the first year of a new model.

No, I think Tesla is far ahead of others with EV and with the performance, range, and discount, was a no brainer. Also, a lot more roomy than the Mach E.

Mine doesn’t have a scratch on it. Hand washed since purchased and garaged. This thing is cherry.

This is correct. You won't regret it. I've had a Y for a year now. 36k miles with no issues. $0 maintenance and I charge for free at work. It's easily the best vehicle I have ever had. Took a 4k mile road trip last year without a single issue due to Tesla's Supercharger network. Try doing that in another EV...

I have a 2023 Everglades that will be picking up next week and I bought another car while waiting over two years. I am going to purchase and flip. I have had two offers over 74k

I'm agreed with the other posts. I think the Raptor really brought down the value of the FEs. At first you could see them going for over 100k, but that has drastically changed. I'd guess 65k to 70k range. Agreed, that if you wanted to get the most out of it keeping the miles down would have a been a better choice, but you were actually using it so nothing wrong with that.
If you are going to sell, I'd do it right away. The market is going to drop as rates keep going up.

Then yours is probably worth a premium. Contrast that some of the ones traded in already have been used and abused and maybe had a defect pop up. I think its hard to compare to other sales with a vehicle like this. Just look at Carvana and see all of the visible damage some of these suffer in such a short time.

They are selling for $67k - $70k right now.

Selling for or asking price?
