Shouldâve left your truck out of the equation. Get a quote from multiple online vehicle buyers for your truck. Tell them it isnât part of the deal. They were making up for the inflated value if your trade in, in my opinion.So my husband and I were at the dealership yesterday to pick mine up for its first oil change. There was a two door on the lot and it had a sticker price of $40K. My husband decided to try to trade in his truck for it. The dealer was honest that they were selling them above sticker price at least $10K however when he came back with our trade in value and the new price, it was literally $68K. My husband asked why they were attempting to upcharge us close to $20K and stated that it was very grimy for them to do such a thing. The dealer replied that it was not grimy at all since they are a hot commodity and they have so few of them and of any inventory so they have to upcharge so that they make money. The lot was full of cars, trucks and I counted 5 Broncos on the lot with stickers available to sell. We left without the Bronco. It was a base model/outer banks. So, with that being said all this long delay in getting one, they can now mark them up and capitalize on driving up market value. Then to boot, I've heard that when you go to the dealership to pick yours up, after ordering it, they drive up the price even further then what you were originally quoted. I love my Bronco, but this will be the only time I will ever buy a Ford...never again.
Youâll get more selling it outright privately or to online retailer, plus youâll get that 2dr for the price you want. Just my take.
