The configurable Bronco model, which is really the only desirable one IMO, seems to be trickling out slowly. I haven't actually seen one in the flesh yet.

I don't believe there are any Ford Broncos out in the wild yet except maybe a handful that Ford are doing roadshows with. Some dealerships will be getting test drive models in the next couple of months. My understanding is the earliest any customer will have one will be July.

I was parked next to a Bronco Sport for my Covid shot today. Really cute- but does look like and escape and a Range Rover had a baby. Doesn’t look super burley. I still have high hopes for the regular Bronco.

First (new) Bronco that rolled off the line was auctioned off w/proceeds going towards an environmental fund/effort. VIN 001 went for over $1M

I went with the 4 door Black Diamond model with the V6 and some other upgrades. I wanted the marine grade interior that I can just hose out. The only models that have that are the Black Diamond or Badlands. I had no use really for what comes extra on the Badlands model for $6K more. Additionally, the Badlands GVWR with the V6 was too heavy to configure it with roof racks for kayaks and such. Not sure what makes it heavier than the Black Diamond.

I just got the "baby" bronco and really like it. Its the badlands edition built more for less technical off roading than the other sport models (suspension, extra GOAT models, ground clearance).

Sport is built on the same platform as the escape whereas the 2/4 door bronco is built for true off roading and body on frame with 4x4. the sport is all wheel drive with the GOAT mode

Can you still get the Bronco? Those things are unicorns. You could probably flip it for a profit on autotrader.

True, but they don’t have the highly optioned out versions everywhere like the style GMAN has on the way.

most likely recent deliveries, awaiting customer pickups. Its hard to find any new cars on dealer lots these days.

@ windy: Yes, I will get my deposit back once I turn down the delivery. I already talked to the dealership.

@MOP-Mike: No, I asked my wife if she wanted it and it was a firm no. I can probably make some money off it but it's not worth the hassle. I'll just let the dealership sell it. They have a waitlist.

I wonder if you can sell your "spot" to someone. There are some boats (Freeman) that have multi-year waiting list and build spots. People will put a deposit down to reserve a build spot and then sell it once it gets close. I wonder if you could do the same to someone wanting to buy one now.

I think they are messing with you dude. I just checked and this is not a valid VIN. I became suspicious when I counted and saw that it had 20 characters, not the usual 17.

Don't give them any personal information.

You are welcome.

You should buy it & drive directly to Carmax & sell it for a profit.

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

Not Carvana. I would expect their check to bounce.

My Bronco came in yesterday. Here it was rolling off the assembly line a couple of weeks ago.

Told them to sell it to someone else.

Probably a good choice. There is going to be huge discounting in the car market in the near future. Inventory is already starting to pile up, especially in the used market.
