I waited 602 day's to get my Badlands, 2,7, SAS, MIC, LUX, Leather...this past weekend I went to the MOAB Off Rodeo, I drove an Outerbanks with 2.7, SAS, Soft top. I had zero issues doing any of the obstacles that they allowed...I was impressed. I've now driven the Outerbanks and Wildtrack....they both drove the same...the differential is can you wait? If the 2.3 isn't a deal killer I'd go with the Outerbanks provided you can live with the soft top....if you're going to be doing desert driving I'd wait for the Wildtrack...If you want the best of all worlds I'd get the Badlands....and plan of waiting. I did the wait an my interim vehicle was a fully loaded JLU with a diesel...and sky top...great vehicle.Sooo I'm having a hard time waiting over here.... Scared I wont get my baby till 2023... And nothing to have fun with this summer with the family.
Let me start off by saying I lose nothing on taxes when switching cars per my state, and only pay the difference. So if I sell a 45k car and buy a 49k one I only pay the 4k difference and $50 licensing to the state. No biggie or I'm out only $50's in my opinion.
The situation:
I have a White WT on order with hard top/2.7/leather/High/Lux pkg and the 3.0 Hoss... Placed it 2/1/22, updated to Hoss 3.0 on 3/9. Yes I know you have been waiting longer & hope you get yours before I do!
However.... from my dealer I have been offered a new white Outerbanks (Hitting the ground in 2 weeks), soft/2.3/High pkg for only 3k over sticker. Mind you this is a sticker prior to the new price hikes... So I'm telling myself its really only $1,700 over sticker. Total $48,395 all in.
I plan on putting 35's and black wheels with a 2" lift. Nothing crazy, maybe an extra 3.5k, so $52,000 all in. Just get it to look like a proportioned Bronco.
Then when the WT Bronco on order comes in I'll sell the Outerbanks for say 53k-55k and put 1k-3k in my pocket.
Yes I know their selling for more, and maybe it does.... but not counting on it. Breaking even is a win for me!
My question for the group:
1) Is my wife right that I'm crazy and should calm the hell down and go mow the lawn and wait for my WT on order.
2) Is this brilliant and if you could you would do the exact same thing?
3) Is my math right on this, and if I sell at the time I get me WT I could at least break even? Or do you feel there would be a profit, and if so your thoughts on how much? (I will use these opinions in my case to her for doing this)
This seems like a no brainer, please gut check me

I agree to a point resale value is never assured. That said none of those things has affected demand yet and the chip shortage is only getting worse. Inflation is a reason to buy sooner than later. When it comes to value the best bet is to spend less and that favors the outer Banks. One reason I went with Base but honestly I wouldn't trade it for anything else at any price.Your gamble is that the used market will remain hot and you will be able to recoup your investment. For me it would be a no go. Inflation is soring, fuel prices are ridiculous, and the Ukraine situation isn't helping anyone's confidence.
As gas hits $6+/gal people are going to slow down buying rigs that get 15ish MPG. Look back at the last time fuel prices climbed high. You couldn't give away trucks and SUV's that got poor mileage. Remember the "Cash for Clunkers" program? Don't be surprised if we see something similar soon. The chip shortage is a wildcard. We have no idea what the future holds in that department. Not knowing when the OP will get his original order makes the risk higher. In 6-12 he may be OK? Still not worth it to me.I agree to a point resale value is never assured.

Unless you're independently wealthy and buying with cash then go offroad the Tacoma after cutting the grass! The Bronco will not hold its value like your Tacoma. Although it's a great vehicle, I don't see the value holding once the supply chain bottleneck is bust open. When that happens, car values will plummet. You can find yourself upside down real quick and no way to move the vehicle quickly without taking a 10%-40% hit. I don't like your math also because it doesn't factor in all the bad karma that can happen to the OBX not covered by insurance or GAP. also doesn't account for the delay in getting the WT. I think it's a risk if anyone is trying to trade Broncos like Apple stock and still make a profit.Sooo I'm having a hard time waiting over here.... Scared I wont get my baby till 2023...

I would wait. The Wildtrack would be the one to sell later on and would hold value. too much can change in a year and your vehicle may just come in sooner than you think. Plus you earn points with your wife when you want to go buy accessories for listening to her wisdom.Sooo I'm having a hard time waiting over here.... Scared I wont get my baby till 2023...

I don't know, but the fact this scenario is even a thing, reminds me how the Bronco scene is such a turn off right now.Sooo I'm having a hard time waiting over here.... Scared I wont get my baby till 2023... And nothing to have fun with this summer with the family.
