Would you trade-in? Bronco for Bronco

[Wrongco]

I am pretty undecided on this one guys. I have a 23 4 door Black Diamond Sasquatch Soft Top Mid package.
Leased it back in September and ordered a black Heritage 4 door thinking it would take a year or so but it is
here now.

The market took a dump so I am little negative on the 23 and going into the 24 so the monthly would be $300 higher, Would you do it?

I think about the equipment and the main benefits are : Hardtop, Appearance and appeal of the Heritage, 12 inch screen, slide out tailgate, LED headlights, cloth seats and carpet


Cliff notes: Would you take a brand new Heritage over a 7500 mile BD Sas for another $300/month?

No.

Keep the BD and save for a Turn Offroad hard top if the hard top is a big selling point.

 

[NatureMan]

Fuck no.

Is this a joke? lol….no way. My .02 is If ur gonna spend an extra $300 a month go get a motorcycle or a sxs or something so u have a Bronco AND another toy instead of the same toy you already have with less money. The fact that u r upside down on the vehicle is bad enough don’t make the situation worse.

Lease(rent) vs Purchase(own)

truth be told, I might have cancelled my reservation if the Heritage didn’t happen…

You could always keep your lease and wait for the elusive ‘25 refresh some have speculated. Only you know if you can afford an additional $300. I would personally buy the new one because you’d be owning it and could accessorize and make it your own.

Nope, taking a loss is never a great plan, and to have to pay more on top of that, that's not just a no, but a yell to the NAH!

An extra $3600 a year is so subjective that it really comes down to how much you make and your other obligations.

I don't know the ins/outs of leases, but probably not. Unless the replacement Bronco had some key functionalities that would help take me somewhere or accomplish something the current Bronco could not. Such as if hitting a limit on trails with the current Bronco, or having trouble towing, hauling stuff, etc. That could make the switch worthwhile.

For 90% of people Absolutely not. If you have met your retirement savings milestone for Your given age bracket, own your home outright, have a credit score over 800, and have a three month emergency fund in a high yield, then have at it, you are doing well and can treat yourself.

Leasing is a fancy way of saying Rent. You are losing all the acquisition costs and torching through money.

This
Only YOU know how much $300/mo. will hurt.

Ride out the lease and when it’s over you should be able to get a used heritage for a lot less. Your lease hopefully has the Bronco with a high resale value when it’s over. Current used car market is dropping back to normal. Hell, you may be able to buy a used BRaptor at the end of your lease.

I got an email from the dealer that delivered my order saying that my Bronco has gone up in value and would I like to trade in on something else. Uh huh- riiiiiiight. The only thing I would have wanted was green exterior with gray interior, but hell- I could repaint and reupholster the one I have probably for about the sales tax penalty. No thanks.

The only thing on your list appealing in the Hardtop, and if I'm getting a black Bronco, I wouldn't want a white hard-top. All Broncos have LED headlights. So it's a no.
