Anyone else notice the price for Broncos?

[hbguy]

Some of the restored and rebuilt ones are going for more than the average new Mercedes SUV. Is this a Southern Ca thing or what?

 

[Dirtman]

Nope. The douchebaggery is unfortunately a nationwide dilemma.

 

[OldMan2]

Even wore out ones are over priced.

Ive seen nice original BII's at DEALERS going for over 10k.

A clean bullnose/bricknose broncos gonna run ya easy 8-10k. A clean 92-96 is 10-14k.(More if its white )

For some reason though the 78/79s havent really gained much. I see those from 2500 (for a beater/DD quality) to around 7000 for nice ones.

This is in michigan.

Also a mercedes SUV is well into the 50s id imagine right? Or 125k for a G Vagon. Id rather have a bronc anyday.

You REALLY wanna see overpriced? Look at square body K5s.

I blame the crazy prices entirely on lazy good for nothing melenials who think having an old truck is hip but are too lazy and stupid to buy one to fix themselves. So they drop 15k on a 30 year old truck then go on twitter to complain about pollution.

I blame on reality TV shows and auctions.

I owned three original Bronco's in the late 70's early 80's... I wish I still had all of them.

I plan to just keep my 06 until there is nothing left to repair... if the new Bronco pans out well... buy one for the wife and be the family car... then just buy a southern 1st Gen Ranger (83 to 92) and just build it how I want it.

I would really like to do an early Bronco... but I would have to find a super deal on one for that to happen.

I blame it on the fact that a new 4x4 truck will cost $50K or more.

That right there speaks volumes...

But with no money down zero interest financing for the first 6 months and over 1,000 dollars back in dealer incentives and free oil changes for the first 2,000 miles you can't go wrong!

Dad had 2, both bought brand new. A ‘89 302/creeper 4 speed manual, and a ‘96 351/E4OD. Wished I’d kept one, probably the ‘89, don’t see many manual transmission Broncos. All the ‘96 were the same, no engine/transmission options. The 89 was 23k new, the 96 was 30k.

 

[OldMan2]

I had a '92 Blazer (sorry). It was a money pit.
Guy at the junk yard said the same about the Bronco's.

 

[racsan]

I did have one early bronco, was in real rough shape. Chassis was a 71, engine was a 73 (302) 3 on the tree, 4.10 gears, 4 wheel drum brakes, no power booster, manual steering. Had to add at least a qt oil and top off master cyl every time I got gas, and couldn’t fill tank because it leaked at the seam. Also had a 88 ranger at the time and a 74 tempo. The ranger had the engine out for a rebuild and the tempo dropped a rod. The bronco was just too far gone to be a daily driver (and pretty dangerous) so I found someone wanting it as a hunting vehicle, traded even up for a 82 zephyr z-7 (fairmont sport coupe) would of been nice to kept it but needed something to drive that was reliable.

 

[adsm08]

I was looking at an all original, rust free 96, guy wanted 8K "serious offers only, no test drives, if you aren't going to buy it don't waste my time".

 

[Dirtman]

I know I hate it when I try to sell a car and people ask me all sorts of questions, try to look at it, or try to drive it...

Just slide the money under my door and ill tell you when and where you can find the car!
