HELP! Am I making a mistake?

[Arrowbear Rider]

Yeah, I grew up in the Central Valley, so I see "California" and think Merced and over 100 in summer. But the OP is right on the coast.

I lived for about 6 months... Or should I say I ONLY lasted about 6 months in Visalia before I couldn't take it anymore. It was 104 when I got home from work and it cooled down to a "balmy" 95 to 98 degrees over night. But the smell from the dairy farms may have been worse, all I know is the combination of heat and smell was no good.

Funny you mention Visalia, that's where I stayed last night to go to the dealership this morning.

I think that area has some charm, it's not as bad as Bakersfield which is a total shit hole!

Yeah it's crazy hot up there at times.

Yea that charm in the winter made it look better too. I was doing audits from north of Fresno down to Bakersfield. Auto dealers, Tractor dealers, RV dealers, motorcycle, anything a dealer could get a "flooring loan" we audited. So Visalia seemed like a good central location to launch from. The 99 was crazy too, especially during fog, it is really bad up there.

Have a great drive home tomorrow in your new Bronco. You doing Cajon pass or cutting over to the Grape Vine?

I drive that route to see my dealer clients as well and the Tejon pass on a rainy day is like playing Russian roulette!

Apparently Vroom’s algorithm sucks as well…..Carvana put a 2021 CG, BB, 4dr Bronco with 4,200 miles, soft top, mid pkg, Sig lighting and $2,600 worth of tires and other upgrades
at: $32,561. Vroom came in at $33,000.
I haven’t checked Car Max because I don’t want to drive a hundred miles, but the market on Broncos is definitely going soft.

Its not going soft. You are looking at trade in value which is taking into consideration that the dealer is then going to put the real price tag on it and make their profit. The only way to know what the real value of your car is to look and see of there are any private party or dealers currently selling your build in your area.

If it’s what you want get it, but, I wouldn’t cancel your order either

If it’s a mistake it’ll be the best one you’ll ever make!

I did some of my flight training out of Tulare. You could smell the cow sh** at 3000ft. No way I'd choose to reside there!!!

Here she is! Saying good bye to my old faithful 4runner.

Great decision, congrats.

I had a friend at a dealership ( didn’t know he was there when I ordered) offer me a BL decently loaded 2.7, the customer backed out on for list. In Arkansas. I’m waiting. my dealer helped me with my son’s Bronco Sport. Another local dealer wanted $7k over.

Must of taken a lot of self control to pass that up.

It was but my dealer is close and did me a big favor on our Bronco Sport. Like their service dept. I also thought I would get a quick build. I hope I’m right. 2/17/22 order , 6/13/22 production week Also wanted Area 51 and not a red.

Not crazy. I did the same with a Bullitt. Difference was that I got it WITHOUT the markup the first dealer had

 

[ChrisInSC]

Wanted to provide an update on my ownership experience. I’m unbelievably happy I purchased this when I did. My original order has still to be put into production and I decided last night to just cancel it at this point. While I did end up paying the 3k in ADM, I look at it as a wash because the dealer gave me 38k for my trade that as of today I’d be lucky to get 32k the way used car prices are. I have had 9 months (trouble free) with my Bronco and have made great memories with my family, I appreciate all comments on this thread positive or negative. I hope everyone enjoys their Bronco as much as I do.

So long story short I’m a reservation holder from 5/21…. Seems like it’s been forever but not as bad as most. I have a cyber orange, 2.7, lux, mic, MGV squatched badlands on order and have seen no movement on it, dealer won’t even tell me how far back the line I am.

I had another dealer friend contact me today and said he had an reservation holder drop out and has a Cactus grey, 2.7, lux, mic, leather, tow, squatched badlands he can sell me for 5k over msrp of 63k.

am I crazy for wanting to drive to my dealer for this right now?

did I mention tow?

You're current dealer may mark it up anyway so take it
