  1. Moving Up in the World

    You know me. This was definitely not am impulse purchase. I actually did more digging on this one than I did the last since it had some unique history. Local Ford dealer, although my diet is pretty healthy. 😂
  2. Moving Up in the World

    So, I may have purchased something yesterday.... Reveal pictures to come. 😊
  3. Moving Up in the World

    I'm the same size as your wife, but the friends and colleagues I'm driving around are more towards your height and weight. The dog would also be a real issue. I'll be realistic during my test drives tomorrow. The one I'm hoping to purchase is a 4d 2023 Badlands, so if anything, I'm leaning...
  4. Moving Up in the World

    That's what I'll be doing on Friday. My LFD has a 2.7L 4 door, a 2.3L 4 door, and a 2.3L 2 door. I like the look of the 2 door more, but I'm the usual driver for work lunches and outings with friends. They love my Sport so much they always ask me to drive, so I imagine it'll happen even more...
  5. Moving Up in the World

    Antimatter Blue. I really prefer bright colors on my vehicles, with Velocity Blue being my favorite.
  6. Moving Up in the World

    I've already got a few more leads that are close enough to home to actually test drive. I'll be shopping around a little this weekend. Looking forward to getting behind the wheel of a few different trims and options!
  7. Moving Up in the World

    I think I did enough homework to make them nervous. They're ghosting me and dropped the price on their website by another couple hundred bucks. I tried calling yesterday to see if they'd run my credit and ask when my mechanic could come test drive it, but they never answered. I may have dodged a...
  8. Moving Up in the World

    Hah, thorough is my middle name. I'm a scientist, I work for the government, and I'm female. The perfect storm for a type-A weirdo. I want this Bronco so badly, but I want to be realistic and go through the checks without succumbing to FOMO.
  9. Moving Up in the World

    The dealer said the mechanic is welcome to come look at it on the lot and test drive it, but won't allow them to take it to the shop. My mechanic says that's an immediate red flag, but he's going to sleep on how to make the most of the time he's allowed on the lot. Thoughts?
  10. Moving Up in the World

    I asked the mechanic to write a quote for any repairs or service it might need. With the invoice in hand, I'll negotiate with the dealer for them to either do the service or knock it off the price so I can pay the mechanic to do it. If it does need an alignment, which it sure looks like, I want...
  11. Moving Up in the World

    Okay y'all. The news so far today for those following along at home: I found a very well reviewed independent mechanic who is willing to do an inspection and a test drive. He pulled up the listing and the Carfax and agrees there's uneven tire wear and the camber looks strange. I'm currently...
  12. Moving Up in the World

    Here's a front facing and rear facing view if this gives any more clues:
  13. Moving Up in the World

    Very very good points. I was trying to make sense of the 3 owner thing in my head and why it was traded multiple times between places. I'll call the shop that did the alignment and presumably the tie rods on Monday. I'll give my local Ford dealer a call and ask them to get me the service...
  14. Moving Up in the World

    Window sticker for reference. The VINs do match on this sticker and the door panel sticker.
  15. Moving Up in the World

    It does. I've also got the original window sticker and the VIN matches the dealer listing. It's definitely a Badsquatch. Asked them to send me a bunch of photos via text earlier today to prove it's that exact Bronco on their lot. Everything seems to line up - At least to the point where it would...
  16. Moving Up in the World

    Should I be leery of shoddy aftermarket suspension work? I actually asked the dealer to send some up close photos, but I'm just not sure what I'm looking at on the full size. I know all there is to know on the Sport and that's about it.
  17. Moving Up in the World

    Hey y'all. I'm a current Sport Badlands owner from NC who has been searching for a Bronco Badlands for a bit now. I love my Sport dearly, but really want the added capability of the full size to do more technical rock climbing and some more difficult trails. After all, it's about smiles per...
