The classic off-road styling and stellar performance of the Ford Bronco have made it one of the most sought-after used SUVs. But what is the average asking price for a used Ford Bronco? Using data from 11,941 live listings, the average asking price for a used Ford Bronco is $45,380. The asking price varies quite a lot based on model year and trim, with the mileage and condition also having a slight impact; a 1996 Bronco asks around $20,500 and a 2025 asks $47,894.
Deciding which Bronco is right for you involves factors that go well beyond a model year and price. Older SUVs may have higher mileage, while newer rides will be a little pricier but better maintained. Trim levels matter, too Broncos assembled with trim package options (like the Raptor) sell at a big premium, while the more popular vintage models have their own corner of the used car market that’s affected by factors like rarity and resto quality. Knowledge is power when it comes to navigating a used or classic Bronco sale.
1. Used Bronco Market Prices
The used Ford Bronco can be found at prices ranging from vintage, high-mileage models to near-new examples equipped with the latest features and technology. The market data included here covers a wide range of model years, trim levels, and listings, but we report an average of $45,380 in asking prices on 11,941 listings. Model year is an excellent place to start, but trim level and mileage can make a drastic difference when it comes to what sellers want. Buyers should shop around to see if a specific Bronco is a good deal.
Market Pricing Overview:
- National median asking price of $45,380
- 11,941 live listings analyzed
- 1996 models start around $20,500
- 2025 models average $47,894
- Mileage affects individual vehicle prices
These numbers offer a helpful broad overview of the market discussed in the source article. Asking prices are not all that buyers will ultimately pay, and each individual listing may vary significantly. Vehicle history, maintenance, price, equipment, and location all play a role in the final deal. Buyers should also verify that they are comparing the same generation Bronco, with similar equipment and condition. Comparing price relative to condition is more useful than simply selecting vehicles by the asking price.
2. Newer Model Depreciation
Depreciation presents an advantage for those interested in a newer Bronco who do not want to pay its full retail value. Based on our data, a Bronco will depreciate between 8.5 and 8.7 percent on average per model year of age. The 2026 priced at an average of $47,869. And the 2025s are listed for an average price of $47,894. But the two years vary by mileage, with 2026’s averaging 5,684 miles and 2025’s at 16,078 miles. Determine which is the better buy based on the actual equipment and condition.
Recent Model Comparisons:
- 2026 typical price of $47,869
- 2025 typical price of $47,894
- 2026 average mileage of 5,684
- 2025 average mileage of 16,078
- Reported combined fuel economy of 17-20 MPG
Remember, these two model years are nearly identical in listing price, which further illustrates why depreciation should not be viewed independently. This newer car might have fewer miles on it, but trim level, options, condition, and list price from the dealer all still come into play. NCAP safety ratings were five stars for each of these model years as well, with combined fuel-economy ratings in the 17-20 MPG range. Check the specifics of what you’re looking at to see if it makes sense to buy the newer year.
3. Mid-Age Bronco Savings
Older modern Broncos deliver more significant savings. The 2024 average price of a listed 2024 model is $45,380, with an average of 23,942 miles on 2,333 listings. For older Broncos, the 2023 sells for an average of $41,500, with an average 36,856 miles on 2,907 listings; the 2022 prices at an average of $37,601; and the 2021 at an average $35,719. The older years of Broncos might attract more cost-conscious shoppers or those with the highest budget, who still want a modern styling.
Model Year Price Changes:
- 2024 typical price of $45,380
- 2023 typical price of $41,500
- 2022 typical price of $37,601
- 2021 typical price of $35,719
- 2021 average mileage of 52,053
The 2021-2024 model years have multiple price ranges on offer for interested buyers. For example, the lower asking prices could be paired with higher mileage, in which case condition and servicing should be closely scrutinized. The source lists 882 listings for the 2021, while the 2023 has the highest number of listings for these examples at 2,907. A large selection of vehicles should help to give buyers more avenues in their comparison and haggling.
4. Trim Levels and Pricing
Trim difference can affect the used Bronco’s asking price as much as the model year. In the data we provided, the difference between the lowest and highest trim levels for the included models is $26,960. Meanwhile, the Base trim’s average price is $41,897, and the Black Diamond is higher at an average of $41,898. This flat $1 difference just shows how equipment, mileage, and market supply can make their way into prices in surprising ways. When comparing trim-specific listings, your eyes can be opened.
Entry Trim Price Details:
- Base trim averages $41,897
- Black Diamond averages $41,898
- Base average mileage of 4,569
- Black Diamond average mileage of 24,513
- Both have relatively small listing shares
Prospective buyers looking for a simple entry level may prefer the Base trim, while those looking for a more trail-ready package could opt for Black Diamond. The problem, however, lies in the fact that the given mileage is very different across those two trim levels. Buyers should thus carefully compare each individual ad, rather than relying only on the trim level name. Standard equipment and optional extras should be carefully checked to match the ad description: a properly cared for vehicle with the right trim equipment could be the best buy.
5. Popular Big Bend Trim
The Big Bend is the most prevalent trim in the low-mile used Bronco market referenced by the source. Big Bend makes up 33.8% of trim-labeled listings from the previous four model years and has an average asking price of $42,431. It has an average mileage of 15,189 miles. Big Bend offers a compelling package for those that want to weigh availability, price, and daily practicality. With the largest market share, customers have more choices to compare.
Big Bend Market Details:
- Typical price of $42,431
- Average mileage of 15,189
- Represents 33.8% of recent listings
- Largest reported trim share
- Multiple listings support price comparisons
A popular trim will help simplify the purchase process, as you can focus on the differences and keep a level playing field in terms of equipment and mileage. But a popular trim isn’t always a cheap trim, and service history, tires, off-road use and accessories can all influence the value of a Big Bend. It pays to compare a few examples, and ensure the asking price is fitting given the vehicle’s condition. Buyers wanting a new Bronco without the price of a dedicated off-roader might want to start with a Big Bend.
6. Outer Banks and Wildtrak
Here’s how the trim levels fit into the latest used Bronco market. Outer Banks lists for an average of $46,801, with 16,219 miles averaging across its listings, making up 17.6% of the known supply. Wildtrak lists for an average of $49,998 with 24,892 miles and makes up 6.1% of the stock. These market specifics highlight how trim-specific shopping considerations and equipment level detail what are being fetched for the same model.
Midrange Trim Comparisons:
- Outer Banks averages $46,801
- Outer Banks mileage averages 16,219
- Outer Banks supply share is 17.6%
- Wildtrak averages $49,998
- Wildtrak supply share is 6.1%
The Outer Banks could appeal to those who put a premium on comfort and style, and the Wildtrak offers a very different off-road setup. Their differing prices need to be considered along with the actual equipment, options and condition of the model. The Wildtrak’s seemingly lower overall market share could also result in fewer listings of a particular trim in some areas. Buyers should make sure to check the equipment fitted to each individual vehicle rather than expecting all listings for a trim to include the same kit.
7. Badlands, Heritage and Raptor
More advanced Bronco trims may carry a premium due to exclusive equipment, unique design elements, or a position on the performance spectrum. Currently, the Badlands typically retail for $51,795 and average 15,879 miles, representing 17.0% of recent trim listings. The Heritage (average price: $52,059, average miles: 14,710, market share: 2.8%) is slightly less expensive on average, with the Raptor (average price: $68,857, miles: 19,981, market share: 12.9%) at the high end.
Premium Trim Price Guide:
- Badlands averages $51,795
- Heritage averages $52,059
- Raptor averages $68,857
- Raptor mileage averages 19,981
- Premium equipment raises asking prices
The trims are most effectively compared by the feature set a particular buyer requires. The Badlands is marketed as having real overland capability, while the Heritage is meant to evoke the retro styling of the original Bronco. The Raptor commands a significantly higher price tag and caters to those who want a more performance-oriented variety of Bronco. You don’t want to spend a dollar more than you need to unless the extra features or styling are worth the extra expenditure to a buyer.
8. Classic Bronco Collectible Values
Classic Ford Broncos are more attractive to collectors and enthusiasts who like the old-school look, good restoration work and represent a particular era in history. The resale market for these old-school vehicles is not aligned with that of late-model used SUVs. As mentioned above, prices range from cheap, run-of-the-mill project cars to highly original Broncos worth six figures and more. The article cited here, refers to valuation tools and auction results on Hagerty, Bring a Trailer and Mecum to illustrate these factors. Ultimately, a classic Bronco is worth its generation, originality, condition and history.
Classic Market Price Ranges:
- Project vehicles may cost under $20,000
- Early models span several price tiers
- Restored examples can exceed $150,000
- Top concours examples may exceed $200,000
- Auction results vary by condition
Restored Bronco Classic Bronco demand can reward knowledgeable buyers who recognize good quality restoration and authenticity. Less expensive examples often will need body work and/or mechanical work or even some part replacements adding significantly to the ultimate investment. Restored classics can bring significant premiums over similar vehicles where the original equipment, salvage/repair history and price realize themselves in the finished condition. Check current valuation guides and recent similar completed auction sales to determine if asking prices seem appropriate.
9. Older Models and Generations
Pick up an older model, like one from the 1990s, to find a potentially less-expensive first step than one of the “hot collector” early models. The data provided to you places a 1996 at an average $20,500 value with average miles of 180,136 miles. The average 1995 lists at $22,900 with average miles of 151,103 miles and a 1993 lists at an average $21,993. The 1990 averages at $21,000 with 86,962 miles on the odometer. All of those averaging around 150,000 or so miles, so comparing miles is key.
Older Bronco Price Guide:
- 1996 averages $20,500
- 1995 averages $22,900
- 1993 averages $21,993
- 1990 averages $21,000
- Reported fuel economy ranges from 12-18 MPG
Your generation also affects classic Bronco values. The first-generation Bronco (1966-1977) are the most collectible, a project might be south of $50,000 and a driver might be $60,000-120,000 based on the chart provided in the article. Mid-1980s vehicles and Bronco II’s (roughly 1983-1990) are given a rather broad 30-70k range for a driver. Fifth-generation Broncos (1992-1996) can hit around 40-90k, with the higher end reserved for rare and ultra clean examples. Again the bottom line here is these numbers are estimates and not the worth (are worth) of everything on the market.
10. Inspection and Ownership Value
Purchasing a vintage Bronco should include a close examination of a vehicle before buying it. Frame condition, body rust, worn suspension, and prior damage and repairs can greatly affect the overall expenses of ownership. Original drivetrains, matching numbers, scarce accessories, and comprehensive records may add value to collectors. More recent models with popular features such as four-wheel drive, manual transmissions, or factory V8 engines can garner added interest. If you plan to buy a Bronco from a dealership or individual, then have it inspected.
Prepurchase Inspection Priorities:
- Inspect frame and body rust
- Check suspension and drivetrain condition
- Review restoration and service records
- Verify title and ownership history
- Compare original and modified components
The most Bronco for you will ultimately come down to your budget, what you plan to do with it, and how much maintenance you’re willing to spend. A new Big Bend version may be the most versatile modern SUV, but a Badlands or Raptor might better fulfill your off-road needs. If you’re after an older Bronco, appearance is likely to be less important than genuine quality, condition, and documentation. Plan for fuel economy, repairs, insurance, and parts costs in the budget, and you can buy a Bronco that’s right for the trip, not just the price tag.
