  1. Incentives and trade ins

    Oh, I meant it as a good thing that the texts stopped right away when I told them my timeline. I was just testing the waters and can't sell right now, so I was happy that they didn't keep spamming me with emails and texts.
  2. ADM fatigue may have finally occurred.

    I know -- I bought Honda thinking it would be reliable. However, I found out after the problems started that the 2015 and early 2016 models of the Fit have ALL sorts of problems. My sister-in-law has a 2012 or '13 that has been rock solid, so I was quite dismayed. VW has treated me well though...
  3. Incentives and trade ins

    They were responsive (by a human) when I responded to their texts, so that's promising. I told them I wouldn't be selling until late May/early June, and the texts stopped immediately. We'll see what happens in a couple months.
  4. $1000 discount for Veterans and First Responders till 4 4 22(I think)

    I put this in a related thread. Some people may be having problems with ID.me, not Ford: When was the last time you renewed the information on ID.me? I received the same message, but I'm still a Reservist -- was very confused. Then I went back into ID.me, renewed the information on there (the...
  5. Incentives and trade ins

    Wow, just tried my '16 Fusion Hybrid -- Driveway is offering $3k more than Carvana. I guess I know where I'm selling in a couple months.
  6. ADM fatigue may have finally occurred.

    I just traded in my daughter's '16 Honda Fit for a '21 Jetta (new) because that Fit should replace the "F" with "Sh" in the name. In 15 months of ownership, we had three batteries, a new alternator, a leak, and finally bad injectors. I "ungunked" the injectors and traded it in for $500 more than...
  7. Window Tinted

    I'm probably putting tint on mine. I had my Fusion windows tinted with IR blocking ceramic, and the difference with the sun was absolutely amazing. If I parked with my windshield facing away from the sun (didn't have anything put on there), even in bright sun with 90 degrees, the interior was...
  8. $30,000 Lawn Ornament - I am LIVID

    I bought a vehicle from military auto sales, picking it up from a GA dealer when we arrived back from Japan. They wound up giving us THREE 30-day tags because the GA dealer kept getting the runaround about registering the vehicle (my next station was in OH). When they gave me the third temp tag...
  9. Article - Ram Dakota Might Dethrone the Ford Maverick

    I'm driving a Fusion Hybrid until my Maverick shows up, and every time I check KBB, the price goes up! It's crazy but perfectly ok with me. At this point, my 6yr old Fusion is going to pay for over a third of my Maverick. :)
  10. Mitsubishi truck?

    Having owned a Mitsubishi, I'd never buy one again. Even my Japanese mechanic (in Japan) said that Mitsubishi is terrible. :D
  11. Ford quits giving miltary discount to veterans

    When was the last time you renewed the information on ID.me? I received the same message, but I'm still a Reservist -- was very confused. Then I went back into ID.me, renewed the information on there (the "military affiliation"), and tried again. Worked like a charm -- the original ID.me...
  12. Leaking oil & coolant after 30 miles

    I just saw this thread, and the time from 0 (do nothing) - 100 (new engine!) was breathtaking. :) On the Mexican build issue, there is definitive evidence that vehicles assembled in Mexico have greater problems than elsewhere. My wife drives a Tiguan, manufactured in Wolfsburg, Germany. The...
  13. Ford Ranger Incentives and Rebates

    I am as well because it sounds like the new model will be much better than the current one, but the '23 Ranger won't be available in the U.S. until NEXT May.
  14. 📬 3/3 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOW ARRIVING!]

    Same here -- original email was for 4/25, then second email moving to 4/18, and then another email moving it back to 4/25. I think someone is moving little plastic pieces on a game board, and every once in a while, the board gets bumped.
  15. Question about trip computer/MPG calculation per trip

    I worded that improperly -- I didn't mean the trip computer that you can set manually (Trip A or Trip B). I am talking about the automatic one that gives you a report when you shut down the vehicle. Does it carry over for short pauses?
  16. Question about trip computer/MPG calculation per trip

    Does the Maverick reset the MPG calculation EACH time you shut off the truck? I'm assuming it does but thought I'd ask anyway. I had a long-term rental in Germany a few years ago, a Seat (Spanish), and the car wouldn't reset the trip monitor (time, distance, and KmPG) if you only stopped...
  17. I Think My Dealer Screwed My Order Up!

    Not to be a bearer of bad news, but my truck, which has the Lariat luxury package, was recently scheduled. On the Ford Vehicle Tracking status page, under Packages, it says, "Lariat Luxury Package". The absence on yours could be a difference between Lariat and XLT though.
  18. $750 Cash Reward Fail

    They probably double it for the EcoSport.
  19. 📬 3/3 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOW ARRIVING!]

    Received my email today, miraculously: ⏰ Received: 11:15 AM EST 📅 Your scheduled build week: 25 April 🛻 Build info: velocity blue hybrid lariat lux + truck bed lighting (not sure if that's part of package?) 📍 Loc: northern MD 🗓 Your original order date: 1 Sep 21 🕺 Dealer: Plaza Ford, Bel Air...
  20. ⏱ Maverick Scheduling This Week (2/28) For Production Build Week 4/25/22

    I think it's somewhere around 4-6 weeks if all goes well, but consistency has been a problem.
