This was a fun and entertaining read, congrats on your car purchase. I am HODLing my 2003 Honda Element, which I bought for $8K cash in 2009 with only 38K miles. Over the next 11 years I would put another 206K miles on it and it runs like a charm. However, now that I'm living in Brooklyn, NY, I have very little need for it since I can take the train everywhere.
But this Element is the original model from 1st year production and it is still in great shape. Although uninsured and not driven in 7 months, I continue to HODL and hope to use it in the future as I have it set up for camping. If I do decide to get a new car, I really want electric.
What made you ultimately decide on the Bronco besides your love of Ford and the limited availability?
That’s good to hear regarding Honda Element. They are reliable car.
Not much. My kids wanted a purple Jeep! I have driven a Sahara, but the the ride is so uncomfortable I couldn't pull myself to it. A friend talked about the Bronco instead and I had my laptop in front of me and I bought it. Not sure much thought went into it :)
