Just driving around town, I have seen numerous "new" ('21-22) Broncos for sale used. Any ideas "WHY"?

Repos?

Maybe....most are on the larger car lots.

Possibly REPOs. We will start to see a lot more repos starting to happen in the coming months and dealer "market adjustment" will start to disappear.

A lot of car dealers are buying Broncos used over MSRP, and then putting them on their lots WAY over MSRP. I've seen Ford dealers offer people picking up their Bronco order $10k over MSRP to buy it back just so they can put it on the lot for $30k over.

Also car repos have been skyrocketing the last couple months. The recession and inflation are going to start to take a real toll on consumer spending. The only thing keeping prices on cars high is supply is non-existent. Especially now that companies are starting to change over to 23's. Companies are going to start hiring freezes and workforce reductions (some already are) I suspect the rest of 2022 won't be fun for a lot of people from an economic standpoint. I would not want to own a car dealership right now with no supply and consumer spending crashing. I suppose they can always start offering 120 month car loans. Some places already offer 96 month loans.

I feel for the people that are getting repoed who are legitimately in a bad spot, but for all of those people who were dumb and decided to live above their means while spending too much to justify poor business practices (MARKUPS) I'll be lapping up their tears. I've been preparing for this moment. Even if I lose my job, I'm going to be fine for a good while. I'm even going to buy the big stuff at actually reasonable prices. Bring it on, recession. Survival of the smartest and the leanest, biznatches. I came of age in the last one. I'm going to destroy the next one.

Given that there was/is a rash of 3.5 engines imploding, i bet a lot of those have no engine under the hood!

I think the hype is over, Bronco nothing special for the $$.

3.5 is not offered in the Bronco...

It's the 2.7 ecoboost that's been having catastrophic failures.

The "meh" factor and high price tag is my guess why they are showing back up on the pre-owned lots.

Yeah, the other engine. 2.7. My bad.

It still seems rather special to me. Not that I'm going to trade in my 4Runner for one, but I'd almost certainly be driving one now if they launched it a few years before I got my 4Runner.

Leaking roofs may be part of the issue as well. There are thousands of them parked in Belleville MI (outside Detroit). I'm here for a training class and spoke to a knowledgeable local Ford guy.

We would trash one of those out in a year. Look nice but they are a ford so there is that. It would have sand inside after the first weekend and for the life of the vehicle. For us, it makes zero sense to spend that kind of money the way we use our T4Rs. All those fancy touch screens and crap dont work with fishy hands either lol.

Between the recall of every one made to replace the roof, and now the engine issue, people may be dumping them while they can.
