Would an OEM Heritage White Hardtop sell in secondary market?

[7speedManuel]

Hi all. Considering ordering a heritage tomorrow, but I’m a soft top kinda guy. I know these hard tops are sought after, so wanted to know what y’all think about what it’s worth. The thing is, my car budget is about 40k

my options:

-order a heritage for 50k, minus sell the hardtop come out close to 42k

-order a big bend for 42k and forget about sas, mid, and style.

Zero chance of losing money, going dual top and selling the hard top. I'd start at $10k if it was a 4 door.

I think someone would buy it for sure.

Isn’t the heritage balanced out? Meaning zero chance yours will get built this year? If not hard top has 36% availability for the rest of the year. Meaning if your dealer has 10 allocations left for the year only 3 broncos from your dealer could get scheduled and chances are there’s more than that in front of you sucking the remaining allocations up. that’s in addition to the 50% availability for Sasquatch. It’s lofty thinking you’ll be able to order in march a highly constrained bronco and get it anywhere near 1 year or shorter. Ford could begin selling hard tops next year through parts with warranties. That being said yes you could absolutely sell it. But the reason why is because they’re impossible to buy (especially for someone who plans on ordering next week)

Thanks for the replies y’all. On this not I’ve been working with my dealer since Jan so I might have a good shot as far as getting in line is concerned. But yeah, ok with a chance of it not getting scheduled. More interested in finding out if this deal could benefit two of us.

It will benefit 2, and a thousands will move back one place in line.

Yes, I think the rare white hard top is worth the extra money for resale later.

it all depends on whether the flaws of the MIC top have been solved by the heritage MOD top

Most deposits or refundable so it’s no harm no foul. TLR. Yes you could 100% sell the hard top, but you can sell it because they’re impossible to buy. If it was as easy as placing a new order for a hard top bronco and selling it everyone would do it. The 2 year wait is the killer

Standard Heritage Editions aren't balanced out, Limited's are something different altogether. I don't have a clue what the allocations are for an HE though, I've heard that it was thrown in the constraint numbers and other that they were filtered out like the WTs.

Currently HEs are around 4% so it's not much and those of us that have one on order and already scheduled have been pushed back already so there's definitely constraints and delays for these.

I've read a few already looking to order an HE once the order banks open up but most seem they're going that route to bypass constraints so I think they're going to be disappointed with what the wait is going to be.

Anyrate, if you go dual top, assuming 4 door, then you shouldn't have a problem selling it but I would think down the road it would be harder to sell your HE Bronco without the white top so you may gain now but lose later.

better deal to just paint mine white ( if I wanted ) then over pay for a white oem top
so to me I don’t see the value

I wouldn't pay 5k for what Ford's producing.

The HE mod top is not the MIC top. Different material, supposedly heavier, removable rear windows and gunners hatch on the 2 doors. Last time the mod top was on the option list in '21 it was $1795 (I think).

Yah I can’t see anyone wanting to pay that. I was quoted 1k to wrap mine white and 1.2k to paint it.
