Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
If you check the SOLD listings on ebay.... theres literally more 2021 broncos that have been sold for 75k+ than there has been under 50k lol.


People get all crazy and ridicule the hell out of dealers when they see shit like this but guess what......


It's probably gonna sell for over 90k 🤷‍♀️ could honestly be closer to that 100k they want.

Lots of people have lots of money. These people wouldn't think twice about spending "way too much" on a vehicle... clearly... when money is no issue why bother caring about how you spend it?

Just the right size to touch the ground.
There's more...

69231
69232


No price on that one, but hey, it's got over 2000 miles on it so it's probably cheap.

Then there's this one.
69233
69234
69235


All first additions. Sales guy said they were bought at auction. Pre-orders that were purchased and then immediately (or almost immediately) put up for auction. These are all being sold as used vehicles. They've got a brand new Big Bend (I think) soft top sitting in the back of the lot too. Not really pushing it, but I don't think they can sell it before the first of the year anyway.

What really grinds my gears is dealers jacking the price up on people when their bronco finally comes on.

:Been waiting faithfully for over a year? If you dont pay $5k-20k over what we said when you ordered it i have 5 guys waiting for a bidding war on it today, three have already test drove it"

If YOUR bronco YOU ORDERED gets bid out ...and your not the one doing it. They won't be getting anymore broncos if you get on their ass about it. .

Here. It's happening, but they are splitting it with customer... Customers that want truck are getting truck at price built at.

Unless you got it in writing ford doesnt care.

The bronco to customer success ratio is tracked but it is a wrist slap.

I'm pretty sure I read an article somewhere that said Ford Corporate was cracking down on dealers that were practicing that kind of crap. I don't remember the exact source, but it was a fairly reputable one. Could have just been propaganda though.

Markup on new vehicles is terrible right now.

Like $30k for a tacoma.

First edition was a limited run, ebay is full of $100k +/- 21 broncos right now
Still not worth it....

Some of the lawyers here are aggressive.

Whom apparently we're Also wheelers.

Ford did have some price control built into the launch, and it was run right to the end with these clowns at the end of my street....when I was trying to locate a new work truck I was in there looking for physical comparatives and they were taking some heat....real heat for some of the auction shenanigans.

When I say heat...the delivery was transferred right out of their hands and guy was pushing for all of them to be transferred to 23 mile. I assumed dude lives up there. Nope. He lives on grosses isle

After the roadster is done because I have a title for it thats a ford no more fords. Might even replace the 351 with a 360 based engine and find a Dodge title.

Just because of this shit I want no more Fords.
It's unexceptable, complete dirtbag of a company move.

I guess I'll build a 29 Dodge to replace the Ranger.

Mustang will be replaced with a Dart.



You can cry auction and dealer all you want but it makes Ford look bad at the end of the day.

What a vehicle will go for at auction has a large part to play in determining its worth.

Right now.... they're clearly worth that amount of money.. because that's what people are willing to spend 🤷‍♀️ once the market is saturated with them the prices will calm down. Supply/demand..
