Bronco Sport Trade In Values

[fastlax16]

I had a second car I didn't drive much so I'd periodically toss my vin into vroom and carvana to see if it was worth selling (eventually I did get an offer I couldn't refuse). A couple times I checked the Bronco as well out of curiosity. I saw carvana had a sport similar to mine listed for 45 today so I just tossed it back in again. I thought I'd share where the offer value has been over time now that the offer is over sticker.

2021 Bronco Sport Badlands with Badlands, Towing and copilot 360+. ~5k miles

Vroom:
12/17 $38,656
10/28 $37,329
5/12 $33,500

Carvana
12/17 $34,000
old offers are missing but always a few grand under carvana

Just put my OB into Vroom and got $35,697. No OB package and has the factory hitch. 17,500 miles.

I traded my OB for a Badlands at my dealer. They gave me what I paid for it. It only had just over 2k mi. Different dealer too.

What’d they sell you the badlands for relative to sticker?

Check CarMax, they probably pay the most. I got over $7,000 more than what I paid for a Big Bend without Big Bend package. Insane. I put the profit towards a 22 Badlands so I can enjoy the bigger engine and other goodies.

carmax won’t give internet offers on sports. Asks you to bring it it since there isn’t enough sales data, which I won’t do since I’m not actually selling.

They gave me 43k for my golf r when vroom was 41.2 and carvana was 40. So not surprised they were highest for you. Was going to take the vroom offer but figured I might aswell give carmax a shot and voilà.

Just about every vehicle is on the high end value because of vehicle shortages. It's actually a bad time to buy a vehicle but I was lucky to get mine for MSRP + $500 rebate from Ford couple months ago. I gave the dealership a great review

I wasn't planning on selling either but brought the Big Bend to CarMax for giggles, only took about 20-30 minutes to get an appraisal at the store. CarMax paid me about as much as a brand new Badlands, including the taxes + fees. CarMax's offer was way higher than Carvana's.

I wasn't planning on selling either but brought the Big Bend to CarMax for giggles, only took about 20-30 minutes to get an appraisal at the store. After CarMax's offer came in higher than a new Badlands, I sold a few days later and put in an order at the dealership. CarMax's offer was way higher than Carvana's.

I’d personally love to sell the bronco but my wife would never agree to it, so my car got sold instead. We need one car so selling it now and paying inflated value on something else in inventory didn’t make much sense.

Now the market needs to hurry up and correct itself so I can get an m2 or rs3 since both were attainable for what I sold my car for pre pandemic.

It's absolutely nutty, and the first time ever where a new car actually *gained* value driving it off the dealer lot. I have found comparable OBs on CarMax and Carvanna's websites with 5k more miles and with asking prices $7-8k more than what we paid for ours.

Yup. Dealers are finding ways of turning new cars into certified cars. There are tons of cpo and used cars at dealers on autotrader with delivery mileage and weird ass carfax histories.

Carfax shows this Bronco was initially listed by a dealer in Connecticut on 10/8. "Sold" by a dealer in Iowa on 10/18 and then miraculously reappeared for sale as a CPO vehicle on 10/29 at the original dealership. That car has never left the first dealers lot and definitely has never been to Iowa..

Plenty of others are clearly just titling cars to themselves and then certifying and selling used.

Sticker. On the nose.

Can't wait for my '22 to get built so I can sell mine. I'm hoping the sale + X-Plan + $1,500 custom order rebates means I make money trading up from a loaded '21 OBX to a loaded '22 BL. I'm at-cost right now from Vroom so I know Carmax is better.

Please don't correct yet, market!

I picked up my BS Badlands on December 9th.
$35,580 MSRP
$75 transfer plate (state fee, estimated and might get a tiny bit back on old vehicle registration)
$175 doc fee
$10 state vehicle inspection
$12.50 state tire disposal fee (have to pre-pay on new tires, my state sucks)
$2845.40 state taxes
Total out the door $38697.90

I just did a vroom estimate for fun w/500 miles (I have about 350 on it): $39,724.

What a time to be alive...


(we paid $35,500 before tax, dealer, and registration fees)
