that would take a common sense approach and we all know that’s not gonna happen anytime soon

Talk about one hand not knowing what the other is doing! I just received the below email. This coming 7 days after I was informed by my dealer that Ford would not be building my MY22 order. No wonder tracking is basically impossible! “As promised, we want to update you on the status of your...

Good answer another good answer. This particular example was money currently in I-Bond at 9.62%. I guess what I was trying to address is every person here has a different set of circumstances. whats right for them may seem stupid to us. Where in fact it’s not stupid at all If It works for...

Seems like there are a bunch of financial wizards here so let me pose a question. What’s better, to finance $60k for 60 mos at 4.79% which equals a pmt of $1127 or to take money out of an investment that is returning 9.6% virtually risk free and pay cash?

this is just a standard email everyone receives once Ford gets their order. I’ve got one within hours of ordering usually. If you haven’t received one make sure your dealer has given Ford your email addy.

I always compare Vroom, Carvana and Carmax quotes online. Carmax has been better the last couple of times but I ended up selling both times to a local Lincoln dealer. He beat the highest offer from any others by $500. Cargurus is a joke. Everything is slanted toward dealers, not the private...

LOL. Did you have you hand on your wallet as you walked out? Since job#1 isn’t until 11/30/22 I highly doubt it will be a Christmas present. But, I really hope it is. If you are even going to have a chance you should get an email from Ford with your scheduling info next Thursday or Fri. Good luck.

The $1000 order incentive expired back in August. My gut feelings since there are a lot of 22’s sitting on dealers lots or still coming to them we won’t see anything on the 23’s until January at the earliest. Realistically we won’t even see the 23’s getting to the dealers before close to the end...

im not a fan of many but this is a set that matches up perfectly to me. I may investigate these for my new ride when it gets here. The red would be a perfect highlight for my interior!

Wonder how many of you waiting are caught up in the rail strike. I quit paying attention to it when I heard that they had come to an agreement. Appears that wasn’t quite the case! https://abcnews.go.com/Business/rail-union-rejects-deal-brokered-white-house-renewing/story?id=91326426

My last two vehicles had owners manuals that were never taken out of the shrink wrap before I ended up selling them. Manufacturers have been putting manuals on the web for quite awhile now. Much easier to me.

I think the absolute latest I would wait would be mid January. I placed an order for a MY22 in July that never even got scheduled! Was just notified last week that it wouldn’t be built. Placed a new order for a MY23 on the day the order bank opened. Hopefully it will get scheduled soon. They say...

Heres what looks like a stock unit (blue sticker). I would think a dealer in OH might be willing to deal on a vert about this time of year. https://www.sarchioneford.com/api/inventory/GetStickers/?sv=MQBGAEEAVABQADgAVQBIADMATgA1ADEAMwAyADcANgAwAA==&make=Ford

Shouldn’t mean anything since Job #1 on the MY23 isn’t until 11/30. Hopefully they will have found them and got them to you long before that. If they can train bomb and drug sniffing dogs you would think they could train Pony sniffing ones! Good luck

We gotta get you folks your new rides since there will be a whole new batch of expectant owners wondering what’s going on hopefully starting this coming Saturday. If I’ve gauged it correctly we will find out Saturday scheduling for 11/28, 12/5, 12/12, 12/19. No scheduling for week 12/26 as all...

just pm’d you

LOL. I just got an email from the dealer today telling me that my 22 order had not been selected to be built. Go figure. Good thing I had already ordered a MY23 from another dealer. I don’t want to go through that fiasco again either. Hopefully we will get good news the week of 10/20. I see the...

Wouldn't waste your time checking KBB. Don’t know of a dealer that really uses it. You would have to have access to check weekly auctions to get a really good idea. Luckily the supply chain problem and the move towards direct ordering rather than maintaining large dealer inventory will keep used...

Good thread. I was a sales manager many many moons ago with a Ford dealership. The dealer principle was a car collector and actually drove a Ford GT. He told me one day that these things are just a piece of metal and one should never obsess over a piece of metal. Very smart man that now owns...

I’ve never been a fan of the stripes but it really is a personal choice. If they make you feel good that should be all that matters. I may consider adding a black with red trim one to go on my hood after I see what it looks like without one. I have to wait to see what it looks like without one...
