Naive. I’ve never done this before. I normally buy used locally or when I do buy new it’s a $20k commuter car. No flying means I can hand carry a cashier’s check if they don’t want to take a normal check and wait for it to clear.
I’m confident plenty of people here have worked through this. I...
They originally mentioned cashier’s check. I do believe I’d probably fly no problem with it. However, that small percentage chance my number’s up with TSA would be catastrophic. Probably irrational paranoia.
Wire transfer sounds best.
And yes, I figured “physical monetary instrument” would be a...
Closes branch is Omaha, Nebraska. I accidentally said Kansas earlier.
Thank you @OutWest for confirmation they'll do wire transfer. I'll see about scheduling it when it's time. I might fly in a and stay in a hotel, then see if they'll pick me up in the morning so there's time to inspect/drive...
It’s not the limit, it’s the TSA I’m worried about. They can seize your monetary instruments on nothing more than suspicion and you’re pretty helpless at that point.
Anybody got tips on how to pay "cash" when you're flying to your dealer? Right now it looks like my options are:
1) Order Teller Check (Cashier's Check) and fly with it. I hear horror stories of TSA finding these and confiscating them. Seems a great way to lose some serious change with no...
201A, 6-Speed, HPP, HP, Eruption Green, B&O.
Ordered 11/10. Priority Code 19 at that time.
Confirmed by Ford 11/11.
Awaiting scheduling. Also hoping for a later delivery (April or May) so I can actually drive it home!
I was told incentives could be added at delivery. I'm assuming specifically dealer rebates, so things like private cash and military rebate but x-plan doesn't provide extra dealer rebate.
Do you know if it was drop shipped or from their warehouse?
I feel like COVID has caused the collapse of drop shipping, but its only a gut feeling. Situations like this can cause parties to point the finger at each other and leave the customer hanging.
I don’t even have the car yet, so I’m still researching options.
I bought the EB because I like the better handling it seems to have available at a sub-$50k price point over the GT. I’m coming from a BRZ that met an untimely end. This will mainly be spirited street driving, so handling is...
Most dealers can’t be trusted to change oil. Manufacturers know it too, they have dedicated lines for customers that can’t get proper service. I’d rather wait.
Edit: some can, and we reward them with business. But it’s telling when their own manufacturers decided that as a whole they shouldn’t...
No regrets on color choice after seeing all these!
Hopefully I get to see someone’s bronze wheels once deliveries start. I’m worried it will be too much, but my gut says it will be good. I didn’t by the color to be subtle.
Mine was placed November 9th, confirmation email November 11th (priority code 19).
No production date yet.
201A 6 speed HPP/HP coupe.
I’m actually hoping it arrives late enough I can get it over I-90. If it’s still chain season I’ll have to ship it.
When I ordered from them I asked about this. They said they’d swap in all seasons for me and help me to ship home the summer tires. I figure ship 2 and put 2 in the rear.
I’m crossing my fingers for a late enough delivery. If I get scheduled soon I’ll have to ship the car because i90 requires...
That’s good, hopefully it’s an easy fix then. I’ve blown 2 pinion bearings on my Jeep from improper setup at the shop. All noise on coast side, so hopefully yours is something easy.
My understanding is that the repair will almost always cost more than the hit on selling price. This doesn’t apply if you know somebody or can do some work yourself (like removing the offending panel an hand carrying it to a shop? Edit, that’s generic advice. I don’t think it applies to your...
Anyone know when it hits production? I have an ecoboost on order and the pictures are making the wait unbearable, I love it. Even my brothers-in-law were speechless at these pics.
