Spotted: Bronco Raptor Cactus Gray next to my Badlands Sasquatch Cactus Gray

[broncosor]

I went back to the dealer to re convert my Raptor order.

Day 1 res holder (1st hour after reveal on July 13 2020). Bronco never got scheduled until I got the Raptor email. Then Raptor never scheduled so went back to the dealer to re place the order for 2023. Dealer said Raptor likely won’t be price protected so eating a 7K loss just because of Ford delaying my Bronco for the past 2 years…

Anyway there was a CG Raptor there and I have to say it looks really much better in real life than on picture. I never loved the look especially due to fender flares but seing it for real and next to my Badlands, it’s incredible. A Monster. Dealer also gave me a ride. Incredible suspension. Power and sounds much better.

yet ... another example ... everyone hates the Warthog until they see it in person.

I am in the same boat .. Warthog increased by $5,280. BUT I am sure the Warthog will 100% keep its value when compared to the Badlands.

Great photos.

OP, how did you get a badlands, but still get the GT email for the Raptor? Did you have two reservations down?

Also, and ive said it before. I think the tail lights on the badlands (or any with the signature tails) looks so much better than the LED dot matrix on the raptor.

It just looks so classy, and at night it pops.

What does that mean, 100% keep it's value compared to Badlands?

Still prefer my 2-door.

drive it for 2-3 years and sell it for the same price you paid for it.

Hmm. That will be interesting to watch. I could see that with a babied one, but if you put a lot of miles on it and/or take it wheeling (like it was built for), I'm not so sure the value will hold. How many they building?

Yes

 

[FellowM3]

Yes

you lucky duck..

When reservations came out, I was about to click go on the second res, and ended up not doing it.

Oh well.. hindsight is 20/20 i guess

I sold my 2019 Raptor with 13K miles after 2.5 years and made 4K on it.

The Warthog is a much more desirable vehicle in the eyes of many.

And I think .. there will less Warthogs built when compared to the F150 Raptor #s

We can all thank the weird times for the values of our used cars, but it's likely things will normalize in the (somewhat) near future.

If you sold it in the last 18 months, that's great. But the used car market is correcting. If you buy a Bronco today, you will not get 100% back in 2-3 years. It's just not how a typical, or even tight, used car market works. Selling any used car in the past 18 months for $$ was a unicorn event. One that I took advantage of

 

[Raptor911]

we will see when the Warthog comes out..

BTW >> i was offered 2 weeks ago MSRP for my wildtrak.

Oh, I'm sure. I can probably get $12k more than I paid this summer for mine, but the margin is shrinking every month. I could have gotten $20k over MSRP in April, $15k in July, $12k now. But I didn't buy this car for profiteering. I just like driving the thing!
