Damn, I was 9/8/21 order and mine has been in transit for the past two months... I thought I was gonna have one of the longest waits by the time it arrives... but guys from a month after me still haven't gotten scheduled? That's rough. 550 days on the dot is feeling lucky for me... that'd be...
Preapproved with my bank for 5.8%... Debating going to a credit union where I could probably get sub 5%... I'll let you know what Ford offers me if my truck is ever delivered.
What's the longest continental US shipping time anyone has seen... from shipping date until arrival at dealer? My truck shipped 1/24 and now it's saying arrival as late as 3/16... and every 3 days for the past 2 weeks they've been pushing it back 3 days... on cue. It's been pushed five times so far.
Dealer removed stuff to "get you built sooner" without asking... and if you refuse the truck because it's not what you ordered: "Oooooo no, Don't walk away... please... what could I possibly do with a barebones XLT I can sell for whatever markup I want?"
What amazed me that dealers didn't do (at least that I've seen) (Before Ford said selling more than x% to people other than orderer = allocation reduction in future years) is cold call their existing customers and ask them if they can place orders in their names to sell. Would be an easy pitch...
I think I saw someone from June or July 21 who hit 580 before they got a delivery date... Can't recall the name, but I think they posted in this thread.
At 540 currently... Up to 9 more days to my final date in the estimate... but I've been pushed at least twelve times throughout this process... so who knows.
Yeah... every single person I know involved in the industry says they are gearing up for a ludicrous amount of repos in 2023... its gonna be like mortgage defaults in 2008.
Used cars about to get really really cheap.
Dealers seen some Mavs sell for 10k over and will say anything to see if they can get a sucker to pay them that. They'll keep doing it until one of them gives up and takes the 3-5k over a desperate buyer is actually willing to give them.
Mavs still a little bit rare... but dealership lots...
99.99% ours are on the same train. Same ship date... going to the same port... etc. Fingers crossed, buddy.
edit: Scratch that, You're on the train behind me... Mine shipped 1/24.
My delivery date just got pushed a week (2/23-3/8 now)... so hopefully that means it's stuck on the wrong side of the crash and wasn't involved in the crash.
I'm very anti markup... but the dealer is clearly taking a hit by offering this to you with this markup... They could get 35k for this truck. They're trying to do right by you because they expect your truck ISN'T going to be made. Good for them. Take the deal.
If your backup choice is a model 3, why were you buying a maverick? I can't think of two more dissimilar vehicles.
If you flip it, remember there's taxes to consider... I wouldn't even think you'd clear much on a hybrid these days, much less an EB... Dealerships aren't admitting it, but the...
I think I will wind up saving a few hundred $$$'s after the private offer... of course I'll more than lose that again since my interest rate will probably be several percentage points higher than the 0-3% fixed that was the promo when I was SUPPOSED to get it... also losing out on the new...
