A Bronco Sport right? Not sure what msrp is but that sounds kind of high considering the miles. The Big Bend is the one up from the Base model so they have a few options but you have to move up in trims to be able to get more.

Yes, Sport 4WD. I don't know crap about them and I hate researching vehicles I ain't gonna buy.

I don't know a lot about them either but Phil @Phil_R just bought one. It's a Badlands model which is more loaded but when he sees this he might be able to give you a little more info on them. Here's his post on the one he just got for his wife.

Too high of price for that many miles in my opinion, James. A new 2023 Big Bend can be had with 0 miles for about $33,400.00 There are used ones with low miles, 2022's, lower in price. A local dealer will sell a 2022 brand new one for around $31,900.00 after you tell them that you will not pay any market adjustment fee. They are sitting on 3 now and they will sell for MSRP.
They go Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Badlands. They also have some Heritage and Heritage Limited editions that are a bit pricey, however they come with custom colors and white wheels / grill. They are limited in production as well.
Basically, all the models except the Badlands and the Heritage Limited are all 1.5 liter 3 cylinder engines putting out about 180 HP and 190 Lb FT of Torque. The Badlands, the Heritage Limited, and a previous First Edition (no longer made) have a 4 cylinder 255 HP and 310 Lb Ft of Torque engine. They are more off road ready as well and all Bronco Sports are turbo charged.
They are all pretty good vehicles and we love our fully loaded Badlands edition. It would be worth your while to do some research on Cars.Com and check your dealers close by to see what the local prices are for used and new ones. Your wife may want to go to the Ford webpage and look at the different options as well.

Again, I would not put that much money in a 30,XXX miles 2021. I recommend looking around to get something with less miles and a longer warranty if you buy used. Grainger Ford is a good place to order a new 2023 if you don't mind waiting a bit and you would get a below MSRP price from them as well.! Good Luck!

I drove the 1.5L and it lacks any power, you need a Bad Lands with the 2.0L

I was wondering about that.

Keep in mind that the Bronco Sport and the Bronco are two totally different animals. The Sport is a unibody built on the Ford Escape platform and the Bronco is the body on frame built on the Ranger platform. Each have trim levels that progress from Base , Big Bend , Black Diamond , OuterBanks , Badlands & Wildtrack. There are a few special editions thrown in there as well. Then you have the option packages for each trim that include the Base Pkg ,Mid pkg ,High Pkg & Lux pkg etc.
Doors and top are removeable on the Broncos but are not on the Sports.

You gotta be kidding me! Way too many options. But thanks for the info.

So wifey took it upon herself to go check the said used Bronco, test drove that and 2 other Broncos. Simply put, the Bronco is out! Her main complaint was the engine noise. I think she drove 2 1.5L models and one 2.0. She said the 2.0 was quieter but she just was not very comfortable in it anyway. I am guessing they were all Sport models? Would the body-on-frame model have less engine noise? No matter, she was turned off on the Bronco period.
She did however test drive a '19 Edge with 30k miles that she really liked. Not sure the trim level but it had heated seats. I think it was $27k.

Broncos don't come with a 1.5l.

That's a Bronco Sport. Might as well just buy an Escape.

I test drove both the hardtop and soft top full size Bronco. I never noticed any engine noise but IMO the soft top was very loud but from wind noise and the hardtop was a little better. The problem is now everything is still way over priced unless you can find a dealer like Granger or Stevens in WV who sell at invoice on new orders. I've seen prices dropping on the full size Broncos at some dealers online (down to msrp) where others still have crazy prices but there are deals out there you just have to really search for them right now.
