Well, I finally got scheduled for week of 4/25 - which was changed to 4/18 - and which was just (yesterday) changed back to 4/25. Lighting candles and praying to St. Jude. You all will know when it gets delivered!

Amen. I made the mistake - once - of buying a new Chrysler product. Never again.

I grew up a GM guy in a GM family. I've bought new GM vehicles. But my last three new vehicles have been Ford, Toyota, Ford. I like Ford's customer service. I love my Expedition. I think I will love my Maverick. Who would have predicted any car company, let alone Ford, would make a $23,000...

As for new vehicles, for most of my life I have had two cars, one to drive to work and the "family car", or "the good car". I learned that if you are going to keep a car 3 or 4 years and then sell it because you just have to have the new version, then by all means, buy used cars. But if you...

Well, car experiences are very subjective but when we got married in 1980, we bought a brand new Chevette. It was slow, cheap, no air.... but For 85,000 miles it just started and got us to work every day. I snapped off the turn signal lever one day while I was climbing in (caught on my coat...

Well, you're averaging only 500 miles a month, so you are taking a lot of short trips. I have learned with my Expedition that the worst thing for mileage is letting it sit and idle, whether it's in your driveway warming up or at the car wash, whatever. I bet if you take it out for a Sunday...

Welcome to the board - I am sorry if you don't get the truck you wanted --- but I think you will like the XLT over the XL, right? Or was it the interior colors you didn't like?? Anyway, what helped me, I think, was I physically sat at the desk with the dealer and ordered the truck, and we...

Yep, I just got an earlier date. Yesterday I got the email saying it was scheduled for 4-25-22 week; today they changed it to 4-18-22.... Sounds good. I'll keep lightin' candles!

Woohoo! I was having coffee meeting today and I casually clicked on my phone to check emails and I just about fainted! My Hot Pepper Red hybrid XLT w trailer hitch and 400 Watt inverter is scheduled to be built the week of April 25, 2022. My order date was August 19, 2021. Dealer: Spirit Ford...

I am going for the hybrid. For me, the hybrid drive train was THE main reason I wanted this vehicle. I'm sure the ECO would have been nice, too. But I like the idea of people saying, "What?? it's a hybrid? No way!"

So..... you're sayin' there's a chance?! I ordered 8-19-21. XLT, no luxury package, no 360, no bed cover. No hood guards.... my order was designed to maximize my chances. Talked to Ford customer service a couple of weeks ago, I am in the system and still looking good and basically, now I'm...

Looks nice. I don't normally like gray paint but that dark gray or whatever it's called looks nice with the grill. The steelies present a lot of options ---- will you leave them as is or do something else??

I had a nice experience with Ford Customer Service on Thursday, but no miracle ending to my story. I ordered in August, and all I've gotten since then was the initial Ford email saying "we got your order and we will let you know when your Maverick goes to production", and then a few months...

Love that Hot Pepper Red look. Like the mythical Maverick I'm supposed to get some day... [sigh]

No production email for me. I keep going back to my confirmation email from Ford, just to make sure I didn't imagine it. Every month or so, I send it to "my guy" at the dealership, to confirm I am still waiting and to make sure there is nothing else I need to do. Also, it puts "my guy" and the...

Pretty neat trick. Not a lot of XLT Hot Pepper Red hybrids, with no other features listed on the form (the only other options I ordered were the 400W inverter in the cabin and the tow hitch.) I took off bed liners and mud flaps, etc., that would add to the delay. Thanks for doing this.

Yeah, I just spent 15 minutes on the Google machine and I see that these items ARE taxable, but the IRS is mostly interested in collectibles, fine arts, etc., and not so much over the occasional Ebay or garage sale "profit". There is a lot more detail once you start the google dive so safe to...

I thought real estate sales were different than vehicles and other personal property.

I am questioning this... could a tax expert chime in? There is no such thing as "selling your car for more than it's worth". I've always heard that if you sell a car and "do well" on the transaction, you have just exchanged one asset (e.g., car worth $24,000) for an equal asset ($24,000 cash)...

Congrats!! so... you're either a CPA or an engineer??
