Congrats. Bought mine used in February by the time i get home 22 June I'll have put 9300+ on since I bought it lolI own it, not the bank. Been retired 14 yrs, that after working, traveling in the oil patch since 1973.
Will have own it 3 yrs come this October. And 9,2xx miles so far. I worry the gas gonna go stale!
and eating it too...
More like OLD!
Excellent advice. That's one reason I didn't want to fully retire even @ 70.
I will definitely miss the $$ from averaging 52 hours per week since COVID.I am one of those fortunate ones, to have made my final payment on picking Pup's up..
On the Retirement side, I am still pondering...
BUT! I was able to haggle for "Four Day" work weeks... And that's been 22 months now.
Still hard to walk away from the $$$ I make in only 32 hours and three day weekends are Great..

9,200 miles, still essentially brand new! I bet you would have no problem selling it back the dealer if you so chose. I have a 90-mile round trip commute to work, that's one of the reasons I didn't trade in my 2017 Focus, and besides it had about 190,000 miles when my Maverick arrived at the dealer so I wouldn't have gotten much for the trade. I only drive the Mav on weekends or when I have a day off from work.I own it, not the bank. Been retired 14 yrs, that after working, traveling in the oil patch since 1973.

A '69 red or black Boss 429 is my dream car, and unless I win the lottery it remains just a dream especially after seeing the prices they command on Mecum. I wouldn't mind a '69 Mach I 428 CJ with a shaker scoop either!
I love the 69 Mustangs, my favorite being the Boss 302. Got married in 72, drove away in our 69 Mach I, though with a 351 2bbl & no A/C in SC in August...so no longer have the 69, but do still have my bride!
I made a deal like that. I was scheduled to retire at the end of 2022, and had already ordered my 2023 Maverick, since I was losing my company car. Around Thanksgiving, they asked me to stay on for another 6 months, and offered a $10K bonus if I stayed until June 30th. I countered and requested to drop down to a 3-day work week, which they agreed to. My Maverick showed up in January, so I stashed it in my sisters garage until I needed it.I am one of those fortunate ones, to have made my final payment on picking Pup's up..
