We were at a local, somewhat large area dealer yesterday. Multi-denomination dealer, sectioned off my marque: Chevy, Jeep. Ford, Toyota. And others. Lady Beagle was interested in the Maverick, and they are the only ones around who had any at all on the Ford lot - about 5 of them. They also had about 10 Broncos.
I'll say that the most expensive Jeep we saw was a Rubicon - 2 door, 4 door or Gladiator, the most expensive was about $55k, with maybe one up to 60.
There wasnt EVEN a Bronco available for that price. They were all $70k plus. Sorry but no. As excited as I was about the Bronco when they announced bringing it back, that is just too rich for my blood at this point. We dis hop in some of them and they are much nicer and more comfortable than the Jeeps.
So, next we went to check out the Mav's. Typically they were AWD with some added options. $32k but with a written MARKET ADJUSTMENT $15,000 USD. What? That puts it up close to Rubicon territory, certainly used Ruby. This for a compact truck that was touted to be available for what, $25k?
I just dont see myself in the "new" market, or even the lightly used market any time in the foreseeable future.
