If my Ourisman order comes in first, I'll hit you up for that.
Thanks for that! Been tryna get a better idea of exactly how/where the price increases were.
Lol I'm sorry if I implied I didn't believe you guys. I was 99% certain the tax was still there even before asking, and 100% certain after you guys said so. I was just wondering why (IIRC) Ford seems to be obscuring it a bit, or if it was just "hidden" in the base price.
Just cleaned I think. Like I said it lasted 2 years before giving up the ghost so it's not remotely as bad as typical fake 3m from Chinese which is lucky to last months, but RokBlox puts a screw at the top instead of all 3 being clustered at the bottom so it has ~zero chance of coming undone.
some 2021 Mach1 with 6MT that were built in late 2020 dodged the fee. Anything after Jan 2021 has the "repent thou sinner" tax added.
Placed an order for a Mach 1 in Nov 2021. Did not have a clue what was going on and was sent an email from Ford the end of May that my Mach 1 was scheduled for build Jun 27. May 31 email from Ford that moved my build to Jul 18. Jun 28 email from Ford build moved to Aug 1. So, talked to my local Ford dealer, which I did not use to place the order, what the heck is going on and this is what he knows. Parts for Mustangs are hard to get, assembly line labor shortage, the top selling Ford vehicles have assembly line priority. So, where does that leave the Mach 1? He is not sure but he thinks they will complete the builds but it could be Sep, Oct possibly Nov. That is not acceptable to me so I am going to cancel my build and go another route.
With the X-pipe there is a big difference between each node-much more so than stock.
I expected the wait because my dealer, he told me it could take anywhere from 6 to 8 months to get my Mach 1, and possibly longer because of the shortages. I am also aware of orders being pushed back and even canceled at times, and yeah it's pretty crazy. Ended up asking him about the possiblity of my order being canceled out of fear of it happening to a few members on here, and he said it's unlikely unless Ford decided to end production for the Mach 1. Honestly, I have nothing to lose at this point, so I'll be waiting it out until Ford builds my car, or they officially cancel my order. Thankfully, I didn't have to make a deposit even though at first the dealer did ask for one, but I talked my way out of it because I didn't want to pay anything unless I had a 100% guarantee of the car being built and he worked with me. I completely understand why you would want to cancel your order, but honestly at this point, I would wait it out and see what happens. Unless you got a bad deal, like some crazy ADM or something, then yeah I would cancel. But if you actually got a fair deal, just wait it out if you can help it. You waited this long already, and you have a date to look forward to at the very least. The reason I'm so adamant on a Mach 1 is because I see GT350's out here from time to time, even saw a GT500 once yet I have never seen a Mach 1. Not even at a dealership, so from what I see they're pretty damn rare.
Totally agree with you, the Mach 1 is and will be rare. I have not canceled yet but I have a financial issue as in I pay cash for all my vehicles and my investment portfolio has and is taken a severe beating and I cannot afford to pull any unless the market goes up 2000 points in the next 2 or 3 months. You can blame that on that a??hole in the Presidents office.
pray tell why on earth pay cash when you use Other People's Money for practically free? That same 60 grand invested in dividend stocks paying 7% or more will throw off 4200 which is what 4 or 5 months of car payments?
Yeah, unfortunately the braindead geriatric we have at the white house is the root cause for a lot of our problems. I mean, thanks to his backwards way of thinking and extremely useless policies, the 2022 Mach 1 lost 10 horses and 10 ft lb of torque. I remember filling up my GT with $20, now I'm going towards $60 within a span of a year. It's ridiculous, anyways do what you gotta do. If you can hold out, I hope you get your Mach but if not, I completely understand. I will wait for mine, I still owe some money on my GT so even if takes a long time, the trade in value will only increase, since I don't drive my GT much. Only 5.7k miles on her. The carfax on my car, the value went up 2k since I ordered my Mach 1 back in June. Dealer offered 42k, and the carfax says its now worth 44k from 41k.
Clock is about to expire on the price appreciation. Dealer ask on used is coming down by chunks of 500 and 1000 at a time. There is still massive overpriced inventory sure. If you check back in 3 weeks you might not like the answer
