I was one of the lucky Granger Gang, so I got a really good deal plus the rebates on mine. I wouldn't have been able to buy one at sticker, much less with an ADM added. I don't see prices falling anytime soon so I probably won't be buying anymore new cars in the foreseeable future. Having said all that, I'm still not sure if I'll keep my 2023. I will be keeping the 94 forever though.

Ain't that the truth, closest available trim to my Bronco (BaseSas 2.7) would now cost me an extra $16k over my MY22 price (without any discounts or Ford kickbacks). Insane.
Yep! My 2022 2.7 10 speed Auto 2 door Sasquatch with the Factory accessories that I have would pretty much be $60k otd after taxes now. Way out of my price range.

My current Bronco is definitely a keeper.

Yes, but when they finally come out with a Hybrid or full E- Bronco, that might sway me to trade in. Would have to still be a Bronco though, like the Wrangler 4e.
A bronco similar to the 4XE would be the only thing to make me consider getting rid of mine. I have had my bronco 2.5 years, I have been off road 3 times lol. reality is for me it's my commuter that occasionally gets dirty.

Doubt I'll be here in 30+ years. The Bronco certainly won't.

I usually keep a vehicle five or six years. Sometimes a bit longer. I like this truck better than anything else I've owned, but nothing in this world is forever.

Mine hinges on three things.

1. Stomaching the payment for both the Bronco and a Ranger Raptor
2. Stomaching the payment on the next house with a four car garage
3. Convincing the wife of step 1 and 2

As long as I keep getting compliments on it, I'll keep driving it.

The plan is/was to basically ride until early retirement at 55. I've been bouncing from used car to used car for a few years now trying to save up for a down payment since they announced the new Bronco.

Unfortunately I have still yet to purchase my vehicle due to work promising a raise back in July and here it is September and they are "Still figuring out the budget" and an unexpected transmission replacment that cut into my budget.

I'm hopeful i will still be able to buy it once I find a new job, and no more used cars for me! This is my retirement vehicle haha. I fully intend on driving her all the way to 240k over the next 20 years.

I always say on a new vehicle that this one is a keeper, then upgrade after a year.

I now have my jeep for just past a year with no intentions of changing, just added the bronco recently and thinking that both rigs will goto my kids in 4-5 years time.

I voted keep for a long time (I normally keep a vehicle until at least 160,000 miles, we have one with 260k miles on it).

However, I may be taking a job in MT. In which case, I would likely trade in the Base for a BD. The wife's STX for an FX4 would probably go first though.

Until my Escalade, I traded in at around 24K miles. At my age I'm thinking I will keep my Escalade (21K) and the Bronco (waiting). My commute every week is 11 mi to the airport each way so I don't put a lot of miles on except for out of state hunting. My wife has a Nisan that just rolled 10K miles and its a 2018. So yeah, the Bronco will probably be my last and "Forever" vehicle.

I tend to keep a vehicle about 2yrs on average. Been quite a few that were less. Very few have lasted longer. Im just over a year with my Bronco and no desire to get rid of it anytime soon. I honestly dont have a clue what Id get if I did. Part of me wants a Raptor Ranger, but the speed addict me wants a single cab swb F150 with a 5.0, but then Id be looking at 15-20k in mods for suspension, supercharcher, wheels/tires, etc. Then theres another side of me that says BMW M4 or a used 911. All that being said Ill probably keep it at least 2 but less than 3yrs. Ill be out of warranty at the end of 2. I think I might have a touch of ADHD.. Any doctors here wanna diagnose? 🤷‍♂️:ROFLMAO:
