Invoice price for the vehicle (no options) can be found here https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/2021-bronco-pricing-savings-spreadsheet-x-plan-vs-invoice-and-below-invoice.2319/
Estimating the invoice on options is where you'd use the 0.94 multiplier. The $1,495 destination cannot be...
Right. The "options" I'm talking about aren't just the individual add-ons available on the base trim, but also the trim upgrades. It's not ideal from a consumer perspective, but it's how Ford will get a reasonable ROI on a new vehicle.
Yep. And it's a great deal for people looking for the options you are. The fact of the matter is that most people (>50%) are going to look for more (right or wrong). Some people will get to take advantage of the 2 door base opportunity. Others will option up and spend significantly more.
I definitely understand this argument, but it's like many have said, the "base base" (2-door zero options) is likely a loss leader. It it at best has a marginal profit, and only exists so ford can hit a price point. It's simple psychology, "get a bronco for less than $30k" and by the time...

How is this even possible? My 2018 mustang gt got around 22 mpg average, and I only drove it basically to two places, both off the same exit, which on the way home has an on-ramp that becomes a permanent lane on the highway...so it was go pedal to the floor every time I drove it
It's a mix of factors. Profit is definitely one of them, but if they offered everything on a menu, costs would go up significantly. More machine changeovers, more labor, less accurate forecasting, and incredibly difficult inventory management would all increase costs. It would be a logistical...
I sold my summer car to carvana last week for the same reasons - was planning to trade in on the bronco anyway and didn't want to deal with depreciation. Plus the offer was really good. I didn't have a lien on it, but the whole process was fast and easy. The guy showed up, took a few pictures...
