I hate that we are even considering it, but I got curious and did an online request for value and they came back with 67k on our Bronco V6 Big Bend. This is coming from a 45.5k MSRP.

Has anyone traded theirs in and put down another reservation?

Edit:
We have had this car for a week and we did not order just to resell. My wife had the Bronco Sport while waiting for a full sized Bronco.
Based on the many responses in this thread, there are clearly 2 factors [ok probably more, but for the sake of brevity, we'll go with 2]: business and emotion.

Taking the emotion out of the equation, it is simply good business sense to be able to make a profit off of a purchase by selling it for more than you paid. This is the basis of the investing / trading in the stock market.

However for me [like many on this forum] emotion is the greater part of the equation and I simply can't take emotion out of this purchase. Hell, from day 1, this has been an emotional purchase. Do I need a kick-ass ~$50k vehicle, NO. Do I want a kick-ass ~$50k off-road / daily-driver? Hell YES.

Call me crazy [others have :) ] but I build attachments to my vehicles. I probably keep them way too long, but they become part of the family for me. And even though I haven't yet taken delivery of my Bronco, I've built an attachment [perhaps less than healthy]. So even with significant profits staring me in the face, I can't even consider flipping it.

Dang... that was a long answer to a short question. :)

So I ordered a basequatch with my reservation a while back. Also, I ordered a big bensquatch last Friday with no reservation from another dealership. I’m expecting my basequatch will come in first. So I’ll drive that until the big bensquatch comes then flip the basequatch and purchase the big bensquatch. It sounds like a good idea in my head. Lol
Almost exactly what I’m doing.
Except the end goal is a loaded Badlands at a 15k discount. It’ll happen easily even after I put 5k miles on the BaseSquatch.
(Hell, the dealer may even let me trade it strait up! 😂)

After wtg 519 days, not a freaking chance. And wouldn't be able to get another FE.

Didn't order this to flip it, ordered it to enjoy it.
