Need input: Full size Bronco

[Danger FX4 Ranger]

For as long as I can remember, I have always loved full sized Broncos. I have found one that I like, but the dealership wants too much for it. Does anyone on this forum have experience with full size broncos? Good or Bad? Also, does anyone know of a forum (of TRS.com quality) dedicated to full size broncos? Here's the truck: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.j...0&doors=&transmission=&max_price=&cardist=108

HOLY SH*T I almost had a heart attack when i looked at the price tell the dealer you will give him 3k and a 8ball so he can keep up on that crack smoking hes doing. I had one theyre not bad trucks but not for that price. I think they miss input that 1 infront of the 2 that shouldnt be there. lol. Sorry thats just my input on that situation.

Yeah, my thoughts too. I found a private seller who wants about $5k for a 1995 with a rebuilt 351W, transmission, transfercase, and rearend (only 18k miles since rebuilds).

That is STUPID high for that truck, even though it appears very nice.

Many FSB forums around.

Here are a couple

Thanks for the links Maverick and CJREX. I might use 1988broncoII's advice, in terms of payment . Monday I am going to check the Black Book value for the Bronco and make an offer......It won't be half of what he wants.

Holy shit, that is insanely high priced. I'd offer 4-5000 and walk out of they don't take my offer.

nice truck but WAY to high of a price for it, kbb says 7k

that is a nice bronc but that is waaaay to much. I bought my 91 for $2500 with no dents or scratches and 98,000 miles. got the 351 too. I would checkout broncozone, and FSB. they are both great sights.

broncos are awsome, awsome, awsome rigs. Exact same as a fullsize F150 other than the wheelbase and body from behind the front seats to the back of the truck. Doors, front 3 windows, dash, engine, suspension, tranny, axles..etc (you get the point) all the same as 1/2 ton ford...but you get to roll topless.
Fullsizebronco.com is an awsome site...i post on there as pud as well.

Thanks for the help guys. I offered the dealer $5,000 for it, and their counter offer was $12,000. I lauged and said I wasn't interrested. They called me back several times over the next couple of days, but I never answered. Mean while, I located this guy

It's a 96, with under 64,000 miles. The only pictures I have were emailed to me by the owner. It has a 351W, manual T-case, and everything is still stock. This weekend, I might be buying More pics to come if the deal holds up.

It's OJ's white Bronco! Just messin with you. Ya 12k+ is a ridiculous price, find something else. Friend of mine bought one last year. 96 Eddie Bauer, 351W, all leather, no scratches or dings, beautiful truck. Paid about 6500 from a lot I think and we agreed afterwards he probably could have done better.

That white one looks pretty nice! I'd drive it. What are you gonna do for price on that one?

I can't believe the dealer said 12 for that first one. Like it makes you wonder if they are really in business to sell cars or if they just like having a lot full of old cars priced like they were new.

There was a dealer around here that was playing that game. They finally went out of business, but I looked at some of their cars for fun right before that...they had an '85 F150 with 133 miles on it New car price of course...and this was only a couple years ago.
