How has the wait affected you?

that doesn't mean shit, lol.

At this point I fully expect the hard top to be leaking and the Bronco to have three silver steelies and one black when it gets to my dealer.

I'm actually glad I reserved a little late (07/15/2020) and then ordered 3 of the deadly sins (Sas, Lux, V6). That may give me time to update my order when the inevitable changes are revealed. Maybe the Wildtrak will get a decent interior?

No hurry...

I ended up buying my wife a Jeep. My dealership thinks the earliest I will get my reservation is fall of 2022 since I am a late December reservation holder. This way we can play on trails and have fun in a somewhat new car while I wait and she still gets her Jeep. We were going to get one after the Bronco, but with the long wait decided on a used one we can pay off easily before then. I know dealerships can’t guarantee when but I am sure they are correct. Also, if it is earlier, I will just sell my Tundra as a down payment and get a newer one later.

Honestly the wait is giving me something to look forward to when there isn't a lot of good on my immediate horizon. All this has been a fairly welcome distraction. So thanks ford, I guess

After everything else this year, waiting on this amazing vehicle is nothing. To be honest, the timeline is running just as I expected, so I am good.

I like the cut of your jib sir.

When I first made my reservation, I talked about the Bronco ad nauseum, and it was all I could think about. Then some things happened, and I no longer had a down payment. Then worries about whether I wanted to commit to another car payment in an uncertain financial environment in the wake of a pandemic, and I cancelled my reservation, and cooled my jets. Basically gave up on the idea of even buying a new vehicle for the foreseeable future. Now, a few months in the future, and seeing a little more stability in my employment, I bought another reservation (last week), and figure by the time I get to order my Bronco, I should have no problem paying for the thing. Hopefully I'm right. I look forward to some top-off cruising in my new 2024ish Bronco, lol.

Every few days I think about all the things that could come up financially that could make the Bronco go bye bye. My "trade in" getting in a wreck, my HVAC going out (or any other major home issue)... Hell, I'm looking at a negative Tax Return for the first time ever.

Ford drags out my Bronco build, I may have to pass depending on what life throws between now and I guess 2022.

Crazy huh, a res date of 7/15 is considered "late". Mine is 7/17. Was all psyched up and ready to go for the first few months. Have come back down to earth a bit. Placed my order, realized how far out my delivery date could be, so will have to wait. Hope Cyber Orange is still a color then. Time to save more money. Other hobbies will keep me busy. I am out here daily reading up on stuff though.

The longer it drags out the less excited I have become. My truck was recently paid off and the feeling of a little more financial freedom gives
Me pause - do I really want to get back into monthly payments again...
I love the bronco but in the end it’s just a vehicle...
Time will tell

The Bronco non-availability affected me, because instead of buying a new Bronco in 2020, I bought two other vehicles. I like what Ford has done with the new Bronco, but time matters and is fleeting. Will see if a new Bronco is a good fit down the road ...

 

[PLindsey725]

I was really excited a first, but its gone down a bit.

I am however super excited that with every passing month I save more money not having a car payment and 2 good paid off cars so as long as I have it in the next 6-8 months ill be fine.

My reservation was placed the day it was announced, and my order in early Feb. I will wait as long as it takes, doesn't bother me at all. Enjoying my STI in the mean time without complaints.

To be honest. I am getting tired of hearing people bitch about the wait. You all knew there was going to be a wait! What do you need it for? Just to show off? Or to actually use? If it was just for off-roading, you could have bought a jeep years ago, if it was really that important to you. Waiting for a bronco is a choice to be part of something unique, new, and fun. If you cant wait, go buy a freaking defender, go buy a jeep, just stop bitching about it to all of us patiently waiting for something different. You're the one missing out, not those of us waiting.

Just water off of a duck's back. No need to get a peptic ulcer.

November reservation, pretty blah build with none of the deadly sins... hoping it comes sooner rather than later as I am getting tired of keeping the current car in circulation.

Here in a couple months when we get a guesstimate of a DOB it is going on the market. I am fine driving my Ranger for awhile and she can daily my F-150.
