Any shutdown, weekends, holidays etc they back build , no one doesn't complete the work at their station. We always finished 3-4 cars back. No 1/2 done. Never saw a car missing parts get through.
Lower the seat, I'm 6'5" & didn't bump my head. You'll bang your head against the wall when your Forester starts needing replacement parts. Look up ac dryer. $800 fuel pump $2300 & if you get the bonus blown head gaskets you'll really jump for joy.
I currently have a 17 Escape & the visibility is not good. My 10 Forester was great & I'm happy to say my test drive in a Maverick was excellent visibility. Another bonus for the Maverick.
Small dents etc are repaired at the factory everyday. There is light repair for lights leaks etc & heavy repair, brakes motor transmission. Yes they are still new & nobody is told.
I'm seriously considering changing the color of my build to Hot Pepper Red. The question is , has anybody seen one & did the blue shaded interior look horrible? The XL interior would just look more appropriate. Thoughts?
How many have went to buy an appliance only to hear that is a display, we can't sale that, BUT we have this model at $$$$ available now? A possible time line from Ford would really destress all hybrid orders
In general a later intake valve opening bleeds some compression off. I struggle to understand why adding compression only to bleed it off works but it does. Valve overlap works the same.
I have read the Atkinson version has a higher compression ratio. But a different camshaft profile as well. A late intake opening results in a smaller charge of air.Low torque engine without the help of the electric motor.
I will pay msrp if mine is ever built. I feel they priced it fairly & my trade is worth more ,at least now. That extra trade value is about the same as money off msrp. But if word hits of dealers trying that crap on orders, who will trust the ordering g process?
I'm starting to think there is more to this than meets the eye. It's always easy to blame the nasty government. It may be chip but does anyone know if Ecsape production of hybrids goes on. An Escape hybrid (same drive train) sells for about 10k more. Just asking for a friend
Start looking, they're are several dealers in my area Illinois that are selling stock at msrp. One crappy dealer is trying the 5k stuff. There has to be a few dealers closer to you that want to be in business after this shortage stuff is over. A year will pass pretty quickly. I'm putting my...
If Ford watches with their heads in the sand, their idea of orders only getting full msrp no incentives etc goes in the dumpster. Plus if enough greedy dealers pull this Mavericks will start stacking up like cord wood. If this is the plan I'll keep driving my Escape with 48k on it until they're...
Ford could choose to build specific optioned eb to get faster easier sales. The real point is we are salivating to pay msrp, when 1 year ago no one would even consider that. I've bought cars as much as 20% below msrp. But I suppose most saved at least 5-10%. Now I'm not even blinking at msrp...
