I anticipated a late summer, early fall delivery and was dead set on my build on January 19. Now with time means more financial flexibility.
I’ll be totally honest, $50K was my puke point. I had exactly what I wanted at around $49K, then they updated the B&P for the 2.7 + Auto (if anyone remembers that) and next thing I knew, I was over $50K.
I checked my finances and while I could do it, I still hesitated. Finally, I succumbed to the fact the MOD Top & 2.7 was really what I wanted on my Badlands. After much deliberation, I was good. Then 3/25 struck and rather than late September delivery, I’m looking at (hell if I know) 2022. So, +3 months on my budget.
Sucks, but on a positive, maybe it just means I add something that I either hadn’t considered because of the price, or add something I was planning to do later just because I liked the idea of a specific monthly payment. I’ve come up with at least 3 options:
1.) Tow Package + Bike Rack
2.) Additional Soft Top (2 Door) to pair w/Mod Top
3.) Upgrade from Mid to High
There’s no priority here, but I will admit that the High Package wasn’t on my list until I realized how expensive adding a stupid bike rack was ($1K! TF!?). Once I realized that, the High Package for $1,200 more became a LOT easier to accept.
what are your thoughts? I may not go the popular route, because I’d be most interested in people’s rationale & perspectives, but I put a poll on here... for science!
