Hi everyone,
Gen 1 Bronco guy who has waited patiently for the return of the Bronco to the market, I have been riding along with you all on this forum since it started but never joined since I did not have a Gen 6 Bronco yet.
Today should be the day, struck a deal and made a deposit so I am heading to the dealer to sign and pickup a new 24' as long as nothing changes. I have no issue walking away if something suddenly comes up with the price. Getting it for several K under msrp, it was on the lot with under 10 miles, just arrived, did not order it. I hope I did good. I think they feel the buying slowdown has arrived, several dealers in this area with 40-100 broncos each on their lots right now.
Tried to go used but everyone wants new car prices on used Broncos so that was silly to me. Every year Bronco prices rise and I am no closer to spending less.
I feel with 25' models just around the corner, waiting till the fall might I might have made a even better deal and the used car market might be about to fall finally also. However when I saw this in person I knew this one was for me, having test drove several other Bronco trims this one gave me that excitement you want and the others did not.

I will post pics once I have it.

Talk about a cliff hanger - no information was given other than the model year.

And I completely understand his/her attitude towards the purchase, I was the same way. You're excited but at the same time prepared to walk at the first signs of any issues. I wasn't sure until the ink hit the paper about my purchase. I've walked away from a few deals that were going south.

For me the worst thing a salesman can do is dig in and try to force the close expecting me to give in. I am always completely upfront with them, and I want the same in return.

Anyway,
Hope it all works out for you, I'm sure it will. We will be waiting on those pictures

Damn, I didn't realize the new Broncos got so huge! 24 feet long?! Where are you gonna park that thing? :LOL:

You should tell those dealers to reach out to ours. Probably 3 in stock at the local dealers. Almost all of the listings are for Broncos that have been allocated but not arrived. Many don't even have VINs assigned yet.

Long day but dealer was great did not try to sneak anything in. Paid for just the Bronco and nothing else. Here is my road, it’s Bronco ready. As you can see I avoided the water. Wanted to keep it clean before the first wax. Dang love bugs all over it.

At 24 feet it feels like a minnow next to my f250 battleship. 😁

It’s going to run the forests plenty, the trails are just 5 min at the end of the road. Mostly sand and water here in central FL.
