I’m out for the Bronco...

[ex_nyer]

Wow, very mature for a 25 y.o. you sound like a level headed person so I'm sure you understand the value of saving. There is a lot written on the subject but the most important factor in building wealth is starting early. If a 25-year old with $10,000 invested $320 a month at a 7% annual compound rate of return until they turned 65, they would wind up with $1 million. May sound boring but think about the great toys you could buy and hopefully have the time to enjoy them! Best of luck to you!

Welp guys I think I’m gonna throw in the towel for the Bronco due mostly to economic and personal reasons.

The economic side is that I was furloughed from work for a while and expected to come back, BUT I was recently notified that I am now permanently laid off (Facilities Engineer - Oil & Gas). Sure, I could still go through with the ordering process with the expectation that I’ll have a job next year no issues. However, personal reasons conflict with that idea. I also do not want to have an empty order left on Granger Ford’s lot in a potentially disastrous economy. It could lead to a really bad situation for them if a lot of people do that.

I think now at my age (25yo), it would be better money spent to get back in school for an MBA or a possible career change. I’m sure there’s good amount of us on the forum that could debate the future of oil and gas in the United States all day long, but that’s for another site lol. For me personally, I think it’s a great time to diversify my skill set via education and keep the ball rolling.

Big thanks to @Granger Ford for being so transparent and informative. I’ll still be following the forum for the love of the Bronco. Maybe when I get back on track, Ford will have a 5.0 in the Bronco ?

You definitely made the right decision. There will be more Broncos! Probably better ones when the purchase makes more sense.

WOW! sorry to hear this. I went through this working for the State but they only furloughed us one day a month. You will find another job just be positive. If your not on https://www.linkedin.com/ it is a good place to network for jobs.

You got a good head on your shoulders! The Bronco, hopefully, isn't going anywhere so when you rebound and get back on your financial feet one will be waiting for you. I'm impressed seeing you take the smart route and not risk serious potential debt in a already unsettled economy.

 

[gentlemanbronco]

That stinks! Welp at least when you make it back the kinks should be worked out and heck, maybe you'll be able to get one on sale even!

Good decision my man, but if you need a car you can't get much for cheaper than a base bronco.

I don't know your situation but if you're an engineer you'll be on your feet well before these broncos will be delivered.

I wouldn't consider the financial implications of Granger. They will sell that bronco in a day. Also, car dealers don't look out for us, even Granger. If someone walked into their lot today and offered full MSRP for a 2020 F-150 do you think they would stop them and tell them that if they just negotiate a little we will come down in price? No.

At 25 when I was in O&G I thought I was unstoppable. I wasn't. It's taken me a decade longer to get to a place where I can buy a Bronco with few worries. No worries, man. You're young. Cool cars are coming.

Besides.... At 25 I liked to spend most of my money on cash and travelling. May not have been the best financial strategy but I loved it. I wouldn't have enjoyed my 20s spending my money on an expensive truck.

Take this time to reset. Go to school. Brush up on some skills. Come my age (35) if you make the right moves you'll be able to buy a Bronco and all 200 accessories. Even if that's just 180 different license plate frames and 20 bike racks.

Very mature decision on your part. Best of luck, but stick around as you never know what details they release on Warthog/Raptor or even electric.

the situation looks/feels rough right now, but going back to school and improving your job prospects is always a good thing.

btw, a little advice on the MBA... first find out if your future employer will cover it. You’d be much better off IF it’s a benefit they already provide and you can seize.

Much of the time, large firms/companies offer this as a part of their benefits and people don’t take advantage of it and rather than take on that debt, let them pay what they owe you

Wise beyond your years. Best of luck but you probably won’t need it seeing the sound decision you’re making.

Good luck to you - sounds like you have a great head on your shoulders. You’ll do just fine - and hopefully Bronco is in the plans somewhere down to road. ?

At 25 I was an idiot. I wish I would have had your foresight- I’d be wealthier than I am today. I learned late but nevertheless I did learn. There will come a day that you will pick out the vehicle you want, exactly as you want - and you will smile because you can now afford it. - and your smile even more because of the sound decisions you are making today. I wish you the very best !

 

[Rickey498]

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you should talk with Albert first or even make a reservation now and which would give you plenty of time to figure things out since you probably wouldn’t be taking delivery till 2022.

It sounds like you are making a wise decision. I’ve often found that, with the right positive outlook, when one door closes another opens.
It sounds like you have that positive outlook. Good luck in you endeavors and I hope to see a picture of your dream Bronco on here in the not too distant future.
