Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
Until you get the actual details there is no way of knowing if the private offer will come even close to letting you get a 2023 at the original 2022 price.
Fords costs have likely gone up a lot so it is not like they can build a 2023 at the 2022...
The 2023 F150 Lightning price increases were announced today and the least expensive model went up $7,000 or 17.5% . The higher trim levels also went up $7,000 which was a smaller percentage. That makes sense because dealers could sell them above MSRP and Ford wants a piece of that pie...
With a commute like that I would really want adaptive cruise control and to get that in the Maverick you have to get the Lariat Luxury package unless they add that for other trim levels for 2023.
That puts the price in the low $30s before tax and licence even without AWD. With AWD that would...
It would be good to be cautious about overloading things like this.
The factory installed 120v plug is rated at 400 watts.
The formula for amps is
watts/volts=amps
so
400/120=3.3 amps.
The power rating of a tool is often printed using amps instead of watts so this is important to know...
I looked into that and one potential problem to ask about is that in the past when there was a price increase Ford gave you price protection so that when you bought a car at MSRP you got the price you ordered it at. As I understand it when you are buying it based on the invoice price when there...
Lots of good information already. One thing to watch out for is that some dealerships will say that they sell at MSRP but then add a large doc fee or required useless expensive options so be get those in writing too. Even Long McAuthor in Kansas that you hear so much about has a $500 doc fee...
I have seen studies that claimed that white vehicles have the lowest night time accident rate because they are the most visible at night. I find that my white SUV tends to look cleaner since most road grime is a light grey that does not show up. I once had a dark red car that always looked...
Hybrid to get the better gas mileage and I don't tow anything.
360 to get the blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic monitoring because it is the 21st century. Once you have had a car with those it feels odd to drive a car without them.
A non-boring color.
It would make a lot more sense for them to take orders for six months production then close the order book for a while. Later in the year they could have a price increase, and then reopen the order book to take more orders at the new higher price without having to worry about price protection...
It would be interesting to know how many people who work at dealerships, or are friends or relatives of salespeople will have Mavericks ordered just to flip them or decline the Maverick when it comes in just so that the dealership can sell it. I would assume that it is a lot but I have no way...
Keep in mind that sales people work odd schedules and you there might be a reasonable delay if you try to catch them on their day off or if they could only work every other weekend and get a three day weekend every other week. One of them very well could be out of the office until Monday...
Depending on where you are at in North Georgia you could contact Brian Smith at Chatsworth Ford. It is a small dealership outside of Dalton. I had a similar problem in North Atlanta with even getting dealers to respond and posted about it on facebook and he responded. We have exchanged...
A dad here.
Get online quotes from CarMax, Carvana, Vroom, etc and print out the highest one and take it in with you to show the dealership if they give you a low trade in amount. Do not mention it or show it to them until they have given you their trade in offer. If they cannot come close...
Assuming that you will not be raising or lowering your truck then do the different metal wheel options(not the rubber tires) make a functional difference or is it all just cosmetic?
For example with the XTL you get painted aluminum wheels. Other than looks compared to the steel wheels that...
When looking at the Santa Cruz be sure to check out the visibility carefully to see if it is OK for you. When I sat in one I did not like the rear visibility since it was poor to start with but the windows in the had thickish black bars that also impacted what you could see.
