Image for article titled Ford Bronco And Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Markups Have Arrived At Dealerships

The , , , and the Dodge and have all been marked up by dealers. With a new crop of hotly anticipated cars making their way to dealer lots, I decided to take a look at how they’re being priced.

Checking the Bronco first, a search of the usual car-buying sites like Cargurus, Autotrader, and Cars.com found 34 Broncos within 100 miles of me. All were near MSRP save for three in the mid to high $70s, the highest of which was at who had a two-door Bronco First Edition listed at $79,115. Conveniently, the window sticker isn’t available when you go to look at it on the dealer’s site. But building a similar Bronco at Ford, I arrived at an MSRP of $59,650. So that’s nearly a $2ok markup.

Widening the Bronco search nationwide, I found over 700 listed for sale. Eleven were listed in the $70’s. Two were listed in the low $80’s, the highest being a Bronco Wildtrak four-door listed for $83,755 at in Webster, New York.

2021 Bronco Wildtrak At Andy Mohr Ford

in Plainfield, Indiana has both a Bronco Wildtrak and a Bronco Badlands listed for the same price of $99,998. Two other Broncos are listed for exactly $100,000 at the same dealership, in Grandville, Michigan.

All this gets better though—a dealership in Peoria, Illinois called has a Bronco listed at $199,999. Thinking that this could be a mistake, I reached out to the dealer to confirm that the price was correct. A couple of minutes later I received an email that answered nothing and everything at the same time:

“Hello Lawrence,

The listed price for the 2021 Ford Bronco is $52565, but your final price will be calculated at the time of purchase.

We can discuss a detailed price quote during an appointment at our dealership….”

No shit the price will be calculated at purchase. That’s how these things usually work.

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 isn’t much better. I found over 200 currently for sale nationally. A handful sit in the mid to high $90s, including this one at in Littleton, Colorado. They’re asking $93,615. The highest listing in the country is at Santa Monica Chrysler Jeep Dodge. They have two Wrangler Rubicon 392s for sale. One they’re asking $98,860 for. The other? . Both may have sold though as they’re no longer on the dealer website. That leaves the next priciest Wrangler Rubicon 392 at in Burlington, Washington. They want $111,845 for it.

Despite what many people may say or think, none of this is ok. But as long as there are those out there who are paying these prices, this will continue.

At $15,000, Could This Roush-Supercharged 2008 Ford F-150 Roust Some Interest?
Ford’s F-Series may be the country’s best seller, but in stock form it’s not the hottest performer. Today’s F-150 seeks to address that inequity with a Roush Stage 2 supercharger on its 5.4-liter V8. Let’s see if you can get pumped up over its price. If it hadn’t been...

This Volkswagen VR6-Powered Smyth Performance GF3 Is An Almost-Finished Sleeper
I know a common saying in the car community is “you should never take on someone else’s project.” But what if that someone’s project is a midengine roadster kit car powered by a Volkswagen Jetta VR6 paired with a manual shift and a limited-slip differential? Because that’s what I...

At $12,900, Is This 2003 BMW M3 Drop-Top A Drop-Dead Good Deal?
Today’s M3 is a convertible that’s also been converted to a six-speed manual. Might that make it worth converting some cash to buy it? Different people like different kinds of dogs. That’s why they make them in so many different models. Some folks like big dogs. Others like little...

At $11,500, Is This 1982 Toyota Celica Supra Anything To Celebrate?
With the Celica long dead and the Supra now more closely aligned with a BMW than any Toyota model, it’s easy to forget that today’s Celica Supra existed at all. Let’s find out if it’s priced to prod memories a while longer. There were two camps on yesterday’s ....

At $2,350, Is This 1994 Buick Wagon The Deal Of The Century?
If it had survived to 2036, Buick’s Century would have lasted as long as its name implied. Today’s Century hails from the last century, and this body style is the last Century to have been offered as a wagon. What might you pay for that honor? Speaking of centuries,...
