Is this a Red Flag?

What packages does this badlands have for a $64,415 msrp? As suggested, might have an inflated msrp, or maybe I’m just anchored to “back in my day” pricing when badlands had an msrp around $50k

I got a 23 BL Sas 2dr w/high package at the 21 MSRP, e.g., $51.1k. Today, pricing it as close as I can get (w/lux) it's about $64k.

This dealer has 5 2023's with the same trim level etc on his lot. Only this one is discounted this much. I'm just trying to figure out why this one? Sales guy just said they didn't know. It's Azure / 2.7 / Thoughts?

there a lot of little rebates and a 1000 cash rebate and about 2k in between invoice and msrp
so it doesnt make sense to me ...theres moreto the story dealers do lose money to sell cars

You can price a Badlands above 70,000 if you add 2.7, sas, leather, lux, tow, hardtop, hell throw in the Azure Gray for a 1000 dollar bump ... that will probably do it, but there's always more you can throw in.

Here's the Window Sticker. I also saw the invoice as I am a Ford AZ Plan eligible. The dealer holdback was just over $1,200.

So I pulled the trigger....I am now official on this web site with my new Bronco! One little secret that was revealed to me when finalizing things, was that my Bronco was "damaged in transit". I requested to talk with body shop on site before closing the deal. He pulled up the actual photos of the shipment damage on his computer. Mainly scratches on head lights and front grill. He said transport companies are notorious for causing transit damage, especially chains and strap damage. Some bad enough that they refuse delivery. So this vehicle had the grill and both headlights replaced before hitting the lot. I was given a future full detail of the vehicle, at my request, at a well known reputable local shop. I am happy with my price and could find no flaws. I'm a bit OCD so I looked everywhere. Drove it home 2 hours yesterday and already love it.

Congratulations! Nice to see the dealership was open and honest and showed you that information/pictures.

Just curious: Will this damage show up on a car facts report, when/if you go to sell it? Something to consider as an "accident" that's recorded will potentially diminish the vehicles value.

Looks great, you did well.

That was exactly my first question. It won't show up as an accident on any reporting.

After following up with a number of other sources, I guess this transport stuff is common, and most folks buying will never know about the little fixes to cars on the lot.
