Would you sell your Bronco for $85,000?

[Fonz54]

At the Mecum auction in Chicago this Bronco owner got a bid for $85,000 and turned it down. What would you do?

I did not join this shit show to give up my ride once I have it hand. I am going to keep her.

All day e'ry day.

It would more than double my purchase price, so yeah...

No chance for $85k. I was thinking the other day what it would take for me to sell my yet to be built Baldands/Sas/Lux...and It cam down to $105k. If the dealer wants to buy it when I go to pick it up...and I can flip it for a profit that is enough to almost buy another one, I'll take it. For $85k? No way....

 

[BadBoyBroncoBilly]

Yes.. I would just reorder!

 

[PavementQueen]

My badlands is over 62k+ tax = ~66k. Similar to the FE. Sellers fee at Mecum is 5%, so it would only be a profit of ~14k. Probably not. 100k might have me thinking.

No, not an FE

 

[heynow14]

well, lets do the math. This is a FE, and he did special paint - so;
the MSRP was likely 60, the paint another 3, sales tax 4, plus freight to the auction for a total of 68, well then maybe I would turn down that offer as well. There is much short term price speculation going on, but I think we all agree that mid- to long-term, the Bronco will become a commodity subject to the usual oversupply caused by the desire to absorb manufacturing fixed cost.

Let's not forget the 12-15% vig that Mecum will take. When it's all said and done, he was likely close to a wash at $85k - as insane as that sounds...

I have a 7/15 7am reservation sitting at the dealer with a priority 99 code that I never built out and a reservation that is being build the week of Jan 3, 2022. Hmm maybe I should order a second one or offer a skip the line Bronco and build out one to someone's liking. What do you think the appropriate markup should be?

capital gains tax, no thank you.

Who wouldn’t? I’d even throw in a free case of beer and large pineapple pizza.

Your getting the same build as me. I have Carbonized grey. I get to pick it up in November. I'm not sure after all the fees and taxes how much would go in my pocket but if it was $25,000 or more I would sell it get back in line.

 

[bdub2you]

After taxes and fees my bronco is $56K, for a $29K yes I would and then wait to find out about a white hardtop edition.

 

[hellahella]

I wonder if FE's would sell for more than 1st gen Braptor

edit: ...in the future

 

[fraserjr]

I don't believe I have admitted this on the forum yet but I sold my First Edition for $95k. That helped me pay for my Badlands which is now in my driveway and the actual build I wanted anyway - MGV, washout floors.

I'm sure that will get hate from some on the forum but oh well.
