i haven't time to read all the previous replies so forgive me if i'm just restating what someone else said earlier.
Being in your position 2 years ago... and I can't stress this enough, don't buy the bronco yet. I know, it sucks having to wait but it'll all make sense by the time you're done reading all of this. Purchase something really good on gas, something very comfortable, something you can drive from home to school and to work everyday. Something that requires little maintenance. The reason being is, I bought my bronco and now I wish I had money to buy a vehicle more suited for a daily driver for someone my age . Sure, alot of guys on here daily drive their EBs but they also have money saved, jobs that pay good or decent $$$ and can afford the gas, maintenance and the possibility of their EB breaking down.
If you purchase the EB, all of your money will go into it. If the EB you purchase is any less than perfect, any little thing might begin to get to you as time goes by. First it might be the weather-stripping, then the tires... while you're at it you might go a size bigger with some new gears and hey maybe a lift! It adds up so fast, and before you know it you're trying to figure out where your money has all gone. I say wait it out, get a vehicle you can DD, so you can get a job and be sure that you'd get there every day on time as well as school, and begin saving. This way you can purchase an EB for a deal and start working on it and get it the way you want it. When summer time comes around you can have your insurance company swap the insurance so you can drive it for a few months... no biggy! You don't wanna end up buying an EB, find out it's not practical enough for a DD and have to sell it (as I've heard happening to many people) just so you can buy something more suited to your needs , losing all that money in the process.
Well that's just my opinion, I hope it helped put some things into perspective but perhaps I'm totally wrong %)
