Thoughts on not buying right now?

[tourproto]

If I had a quote for lux sas badlands with hard top for 55K I would take it.

Hell, I paid $53K for a non-SAS, high-pkg 4-door Badlands in March 2022. Assuming it is also a 4-door. paying $2K more for a LUX and SAS is a bargain... Why are you waiting???

Looking around there are some good deals on 2024 Broncos. I dont think the prices get better once they are gone and the 2025s are in the lots.

There is never a good time or a bad time... You may not live past tomorrow- If not now, when?

Yeah sure, one does not just drop dead over night from not buying a vehicle....

I'm also playing the waiting game because there are 6 Bronco's reasonably near me that meet my requirements. I started looking at them in December and none of them have sold.

Ford incentives seem to be all over the place. The last $2000 cash back lasted about a week, now it's gone.

I have seen a few dealers with a bigger dealer discount lately but I'm hoping to find one who discounts a lot plus a lot of cash back from Ford.

Dude, 9 pages and you haven’t said what you’re gonna do…

Lmao I wasn't expecting it to blow up. First of all, we're paying cash, we're not financing, and no, it wasn't due to Dave Ramsey (Dave Ramsey is good for people that need an extremely simplified way of getting out of debt, we're not in debt, we don't owe on any of our vehicles, and we're not interested in financing unless we get some killer deal or incentive) I believe we've decided to either find or order a manual, but we're going to wait til May ish time frame. (I understand that automatics are better performance, but that's not why you buy a manual anymore. You buy a manual because you want to DRIVE the vehicle, and I miss having a manual.) The fact is the car market is crashing, and with Stellantis cutting MSRPs, everyone else will have to follow. Something is going to give, either some stupid government bail out (Better not be, that's why we're in this problem) or the manufacturers are gonna start offering massive incentives.

So that's where we are, we've decided based on the responses to get what we want (A manual) and wait just a bit for it.

Ford just announced price increases this week.

I’d been looking at cars for a while and Broncos since we went to Montana last September. I bought because I just had a feeling it was the time to buy. Time will tell whether that ‘feeling’ was correct or I was having a stroke.

If u don't need it right now, wait it out. The true economic datas are coming out, it will be significantly much worse than what the previous administration tried to cover up.

Car market will go red...

Technically no one ever needs a bronco.

Yes, but it is a lot more enjoyable than driving this...

With all of this tariff talk, I'd lock in a deal now. Don't they start in a month? Ford will just pass on the increases along with the other manufacturers.

The problem with that logic is everyones ALREADY not selling cars. Raising the prices just means that theyll sell less. They financially cannot do that.

Driving small crappy cars can actually be a lot of fun.

I used to have a Hyundai Accent and every cloverleaf, I had the tires howling.

Small wheels means quicker steering, small tires means that you can have fun without having to go too stupidly fast.

Hyundai Accent... nah. Ford Fiesta ST... yeah .

I’ve driven both.

Fiesta is better than the Focus ST despite less power.

Accent was surprisingly well put together. Would have been cool to do a Tiburon V6 engine swap.
