Some states apply tax to the Full purchase price without rebate or trade-in deductions (the long state on the west coast is one example) other states tax the out of pocket cost after rebates and trade-ins. AZ is one example.
I had some paint mixed for another project at the local PPG dealer. While I was there I asked about the paint cost for my pickup. The red base coat is about $2200 a gallon . The mid coat tinted clear was $1100 and the final clear was $ 880. OUCH
Drove from AZ to Portland OR and back earlier this month. We saw ONE Maverick! I was expecting to see 2-3 each day we were driving but nope. Did see one Rivian on the road too.
Nothing shy of keeping it out of sight will help much. In the Phoenix area thieves are using a tow truck and just hooking up and driving off. If the brakes are set they don't care, just move the car and re-attach, disable the tracking by cutting bat cables and move on.
I bought a Lariat Lux Hybrid that was an order refusal in April and paid the 5K dealer extra profit. I was not thrilled but since then I have realized 1. No waiting 8-13 months 2. No base price increases 3. No constrained or dropped options. I have the factory spray-in liner, a wireless...
I just installed a thinkware F200 pro in my Hybrid Maverick. I did speak with a thinkware rep about the OBD plug-in cable and they strongly said it is not compatible and to hardwire the unit instead. I followed their advice. Make sure to run the power cable behind the A pillar air bags, not...
Toyota Prius engines around 2013 had oil consumption issues due to loose tolerance issues on the piston and ring clearance to reduce friction and get better fuel economy . Ours (and many others) started using 1-2 quarts between oil changes at around 90k miles.
If you want a higher rated seatbelt reminder then drive a Subaru Ascent. The darn warning increases in volume and is continuous the longer its disconnected. The 1/8 mile from the mailbox to the garage can be noisy!
Buy it. I purchased a rejected order Lariat 2.5 in HCP in April for 5K over MSRP. No waiting for constrained items or having to delete items you want just to get the pickup. I was planning to order 1 next month but I have already got back $1k due to the base price increase and my HVAC...
If someone wants it, it will be gone no matter what you do. Around 30 years ago a person had a $$$$$ antique car who's ownership was disputed. He kept it in the back corner of a secure building with many other cars. Only way to get the car out was to move several other cars after entering...
I don't know the cause, however I have seen 3 completely burned Mavericks on the IAAI and Copart websites. Those websites are sparse on info so I don't know what engine they had or the source of the fire.
Sometimes Ford offers incentives for buying on credit. What people that want to pay cash often will do is finance the purchase and then pay off the loan shortly after the purchase. Just make sure you don't have an early pay-off penalty.
I recently read a study (wish I could recall where) that the infrastructure in Calif is so frail that no more than 3 houses per square block could have charging points for cars without the power grid failing. Installing more charge stations without the resources to supply the power is not a...
