Traded in my Everglades for a Wildtrak yesterday. No reason other than it was an itch that I had to scratch. In October of 2020, my original order was for a Wildtrak. Mid 2022, fast approaching 2 years of delays, I converted that order to a 2023 Everglades, and abandoned the original order.
I got the Wildtrak for $1,000 over MSRP, which is unheard of right now for a Bronco sitting on a lot (in California).
According to KBB, Carfax and other online sources, trade-in value on the Everglades (5,400 miles) was over $60K, but after shopping around, 10/10 dealers were not willing to pay that. Coincidentally, most countered at $50K, which wouldn't have been a problem if these dealers didn't have market adjustments on their Wildtraks.
The dealership that I got the Wildtrak from offered me $55K for the Everglades. No lien holder, so I cashed out the balance left on the Wildtrak, and was gone in 30 minutes.
Staring at my Everglades as I drove off the lot in the Wildtrak was a sad day, but looking forward to some new adventures in the Wildtrak.
