The 2021 Ford Bronco hasn’t even hit dealerships yet, and already people are trying to make big bucks flipping them.

It almost seems inevitable with and , right? Hot new models and greed seem to go hand in hand. reports that someone in LA is attempting to flip two Bronco orders for a tidy profit.

The two orders are for Wildtrack and First Edition Broncos. Keep in mind that the MSRP for these two models is $49,475 and $61,605 for the four-door models. This person is asking $80,000 for the Wildtrak and $90,000 for the First Edition. It makes even less sense when you factor in that the difference between what he’s asking and the MSRPs is roughly the price of a base two-door Bronco.

The Facebook Marketplace attempt to justify the prices by noting exclusivity and order waiting times. In the Wildtrak posting, our greedy flipper appeals to those who might not want to wait until 2022, when more dealers will have stock.

You’ll be the first to drive the new Bronco-

Demand is so high majority of the 2021 orders will be produced in 2022 and dealers won’t have any Broncos available for sale until MY21 production orders have shipped.

This is true, to a point. Whether that point is worth nearly $31,000 is up to those who see the ad.

The First Edition is an even further reach. So-called First Edition models have been popular in the last few years, with automakers attempting to capitalize on the hype and appealing to people who just have to have the first of something. The First Edition Bronco currently sits at the top of the Bronco lineup. Ford describes this model as having the mechanicals of the Badlands, the exterior of the Wildtrak and the interior of the Outer Banks.

With only 7,000 being made, it’ll be a “limited run.” Of course, the seller included that in the posting for the First Edition. He further mentions the where VIN 001 sold for over $1 million. I guess that to him the charity auction result means asking $90,000 isn’t a stretch.

This individual isn’t the worst of the flippers, though. While there aren’t many out there yet, the Bronco forums are filled with discussions of either people who are flipping, are thinking about it or know someone who is planning to. Digging around in the forums led me to a Phoenix-area Craigslist ad asking $190,000 for a First Edition Bronco. And like the LA seller’s ad, this one mentions the charity auction and points out that reservations are closed.

With over 200,000 pre-orders and 100,000 orders for the new Bronco, it seems as though this greed is something we’ll see for a while. Unfortunately, it might be to the detriment of Ford. Flipper prices and dealer “markups” are going to put those who didn’t pre-order in a tough spot. These two factors may just have people waiting a few years until things cool down — or buying something else entirely.

At $19,650, Could You Get Caught Up In This 2017 Fiat 124 Spider’s Web Of Intrigue?
There are no two countries more divergent in the reputation for the quality of their cars than Japan and Italy. That didn’t stop them from combining their powers for today’s Mazda-based Fiat Spider. Will its price prove equally unstoppable? It seems that when it comes to the comments on the...

At $4,500, Might This 16V 1983 VW Caddy Tee Up Some Good Times?
The seller of today’s somewhat Frankencar VW Caddy says it was a dad and son project. Let’s see if the result, and its price, has you wanting to be its new sire. Depreciation is a hell of a drug. Buy a car on that downward slope and you’ll eventually end...

The 2018 Jaguar XF Sportbrake S Is Two Cylinders Short Of Legendary
In my travels I have found few places more ideally fit to open up a car—really open it up, I mean—than Interstate 10 in Texas headed west toward California. The Hill Country gives way to true desert and 80 mph speed limits between Kerr County and El Paso County, and...

This past weekend, my friend and I took a on a 1,700 mile road trip from Michigan to North Carolina to visit—and I know this may shock and surprise some of you—a Jeep junkyard. And while much of the trip was a complete disaster, and arguably pointless, I finally learned...

The 2019 Volvo V60 Is Even Cooler Than Its Plaid Seats
I love the way the layers luxury car fanciness with station wagon usefulness. It might look a little faster than it is, but what the V60 lacks in sheer adrenaline it makes up for in versatility, comfort and safety. Long live the longroofs. (Volvo was kind enough to fly me...
