Yeah I think one important thing for me to note is that this won’t be something that I get rid of in a few years. It will be something I keep for a very, very long time.
I mean he asked for opinions and a lot of solid info was given.
I have had my ranger since I was 15. I've had it for 13 years and would be happy driving it 13 more years. It has been an incredibly reliable vehicle and the truck just fits me perfectly. I'm thinking about upgrading because I want a bronco. Since the day my dad came home with that blue 1976 bronco sport, classic broncos have been my favorite vehicles on the planet. Since the early 2000's when the first bronco concepts were released, I have been desperately awaiting a new bronco to be a reality. So, the thing here is that I want to buy a new bronco because much to my surprise, this new bronco is basically everything I had hoped it would be. Its not a hype train I'm on, its not a vehicle I'm gonna trade off in a few years, its a vehicle I'm going to take across the country, play in the dirt with, I'll be driving it for work, I'm going to pull a small camper with it, pull a boat with it, I'm going to use it for all its intended purposes, put hundreds of thousands of miles on it, but also take care of it and if one day my niece or nephew want it (I'm not planning on having kids), I'll pass it on to them. Which is kind of why the whole "you're gonna be paying for it for 30 years" and "in five years you'll have a vehicle worth half of what you paid for it" type of stuff doesn't really register for me. Obviously there is a ton of validity to those statements and in basically every single other situation, those would be the things I think about most. Its just that this decision is just as much about passion and living life to the fullest as it is about financial responsibility.
I feel like there's a chance, however small, that Ford could play this offering low interest rates in order to attract more day one business on accessories. Imagine if Ford was offering 1.9% financing for qualified buyers and 15% off MSRP accessories if you buy with the vehicle. That would yield some explosive sales numbers
luckily nissan has kicked Carlos Goan to the curb, so hopefully we can start seeing the old nissan quality again, for my skyline being 28 years old It’s held up amazingly.
That is possible, but does it make sense from a business stand point? And let me be the first to tell you, I have NO CLUE how to run a business, nor do I want to know.
Jeeps are in high demand which is why you rarely see deals. Look at used Jeeps. They retain their value for quite a while. I dont often see cash back or bonuses on Wranglers. Most of the time its interest which I'm hoping may be the case with Ford. But if Ford wants to capitalize on the Bronco, I think a decent rate and small discount on accessories day of delivery is a solid strategy. They've already hammered in "200+ accessories available day one with bronco" which gives me hope that this will happen.
Hey I agree with you 100% that a low interest rate to start would drum up big business.
I agree, Not to mention the number of people that have multiple reservations that will be canceling all but 1.
