No the vehicle is paid for in full, just a shame the value decreased so much for my specific model and was just asking if others are seeing the same thing for those that have sold theirs.
I noticed the other day that asking price for used Base models similar to my Base are about 2k to 4k over my original msrp.
Plain janer with approx 40k miles.
I have no idea what a trade in offer might be, but i might look into it just for grins.
No intention on replacing it any time soon.

I just looked at KBB to see what my 2023 Base 2 door 2.7 Sas, mod bumper, brush guard, hoop steps, aux switches with 7500 miles shows. The private party avg was a bit higher than sticker ($44,600 MSRP) and dealer trade in avg was right around MSRP. Obviously when you add in taxes, dmv fees, loan interest I'm over 50K but I have no thoughts of selling. I've added a bunch of fun parts to make it the way I want it and the miles will stay low so it should hold value being a bit of a rare combo.

Has anyone had a hard time selling their bronco? There are so many on the market but i remember a time when it was so hard to get your hands on one. I keep getting online offers from sites like carfax, carmax, carvana, etc for way lower than expected and what i paid for it. Let me know if you sold your and for how much with miles, year, trim, etc.
Why dont you look at Broncos on Carvana, carfax etc and see all the prices. Dont see them going down at all. Bronco sport maybe but not the Broncos? In my area anyways around Buffalo NY>

My Bronco has currently has 4 open recalls. It’s pretty much unsellable. Used broncos will continue to plummet in resale because they are not a good vehicle. Buy a Toyota.

Seems to me the new gen Tacoma and tundras have their share of issues. Toyota is no longer the Toyota of old. I’ve been an almost lifelong Toyota owner, oldest was a ā€˜79 fj40 and I’m no Ford fanboy but there’s no way I’d buy a new Toyota thinking it was mechanically superior to a Bronco.

OK...So we just sold/traded our Bronco and here's my take...
  • Not harder to sell than any other vehicle (probably easier, in fact, because of limited years of recent production and emotional buyers...like most of us here).
  • KBB has had accuracy issues ever since the pandemic. It's great to reference when it overvalues your car, but don't set your expectation there.
  • Carmax/Carvana are easy, but they will LOWball you.
  • If going private sale:
    • KeySavvy is REALLY nice to eliminate scammers and offer legit buyers a sense of security.
    • Bronco6g Listings don't seem to generate much traffic unless you're willing to give your Bronco away because you have an emotional attachment or want to pay something forward.
    • Facebook Marketplace will generate a lot of looky-Lous, a few low-ball dealer trade offers, and--if you're lucky--a few reasonable offers.
    • Local car meets generate passing interest and--again--you may get lucky.
  • Finally, don't rule out trade-in or selling to a dealer that's low on inventory...
    • It shocked the heck out of me, but one of the best offers came from a dealer on Facebook based out of central PA. They were AWESOME to work with and even offered to send their buyers group to pick up and handle paperwork from our house. Their deal on our Bronco (and our Cayenne) was so good that we just traded them in. After the tax benefits, we barely got less than we would have (reasonably) expected in private sale. Still really surprised & impressed. I added their info to our B6g For Sale listing if anyone wants it in the future. Great people (Please only tell them FormerRotor with the Cayenne+Bronco Trade sent you IF you're going to be good to them...awesome people).
