I’ll be cancelling my reservation. I’m not encouraging anyone to do so btw. Just don’t like the long, dragged, marketing tactics being used by Ford and the more we get closer to locking a dealer in October without knowing really how much the Bronco will cost, the more spending $45K during times...
The OP said "...And at 3.5%ish interest that’s going to be better than any deal on financing the Bronco most likely" So the idea was to add the Bronco debt into the mortgage to save on interest. You are essentially getting a 30-year loan on your Bronco. That is insane.
If you are looking to...
During difficult times, we shouldn't be looking to add 10-20% of your home value in additional debt to the mortgage just so you can afford a vehicle. Perhaps the best alternative is to wait a bit and see how things turn out before risking your home as well. Just my last .02 on this subject.
Using an appreciating asset’s equity to finance a depreciating asset over 30-years to “save” on interest. o_O
My mind will continue to be blown for the next month.
Rolling over a loan of $40,000 @ 5.99%, to a mortgage @ 2.99%, might reduce your interest rate by half and provide the perception that the vehicle is paid off, but the $40,000 becomes $60,000+ over the life of the loan. You'll be paying about $180 for 30 years.
I just want to clarify that this concept doesn't pay off your cars. Nothing against you or your specific case, just using it as an example. The car note is free in clear but the debt is now hanging on your mortgage.
I can understand this concept if you decide to keep the same auto loan payment...
Previously owned:
Manual Acura RSX
Manual BMW E90 325
Manual BMW 335
DCT BMW M3
Manual BMW M3
Just for reference. All those vehicles were about the driving experience And were performance cars. For me the Bronco is about cruising.
If you just like a manual over auto, the specific experience it...
Most realistic colors to date. Only reason not going with Cactus Gray is because 80% of people will go with Cactus Grey. Any love for AMB out there? Waiting to see a good photo of that color, if not, carbonized Gray it is.
I’ll be swapping to K02s. Daily driving MTs that will see zero off-road is not worth the hassle. K02 have the grip for off road, the smoothness for daily driving and still give you that aggressive off road look.
Whatever gets me closer to this. I'm building an overlanding rig so the OB seems like the perfect match for daily driving and occasional overlanding trips.
This.
Ford should expect about 20-30% of actual reservations to materialize. Between people holding multiple reservations, package pricing pushing every desired build over $40K and most close to or over $50K and an economy that is not the most logical to be purchasing a $50K vehicle.
Yet the...
To all,
Wrangler pricing is not a reference point. Wranglers are extremely overpriced. You pay $60K for 90s Tech. So everyone saying that “it’s on par with the Jeep” is not a good reference point.
Price on Options need to be reasonable and so far “$3700” is not reasonable at all. Feels like...
What am I missing? If I do an OuterSquatch I’m looking at around $49,000 for nearly a loaded vehicle with many luxury features and extremely capable. Or I can do a Badlands + Sasquatch but I’m at $53,000. Is the $4,000 worth it for the Swaybar disconnect + washable interior?
My mall crawling...
