You did good. A lot more truck and a lot more reliable. No way you will ever regret that decision. I can't say the same for Maverick owners yet - especially anyone paying $5k-$10k over retail for them.
How so? Prepayment penalties are a thing with auto loans. They would not let him read the loan docs. They are clearly a scumbag dealer. The odds are good there would be a penalty.
Pretending that these penalties don't or can't exist is a foolish way to proceed. 36 states allow auto-loan...
What is unique to Ford is this Verified Purchaser program. Making people provide their info and for many also a deposit, in order for the dealer to make an order (at an agreed upon price) that the dealer otherwise could not make for themselves.
Then after 6 to 9 months of freezing the customer...
I'm starting to think that ordering a hybrid was a mistake for my household. I want a car that can occasionally sit for 4 - 8 weeks and still start when it is needed - and it sounds like a Hybrid isn't that.
All of those procedures presume you have a working battery and electrical system. So what happens if you don't - what is the pure mechanical procedure to get the car into neutral for towing?
Ceramic coating is a waste of time unless you have a show car. Absolutely useless investment on a $20k truck especially if it is a working truck. Only an idiot would think a $1500 "ceramic coating" applied by a dealer was an investment of any kind, to say nothing of the lunacy of doing it to a...
Scumbags. I'd walk - go buy a Honda Ridgeline or something for that kind of money.
This should however serve as notice to all members - be sure and tell your dealer IN WRITING well in advance of the vehicle arriving, that you do not want any add-ons. Nothing, no security system or paint...
Nice video, good find. And feel for those people who will take these to Jiffy Lube for an oil change. 15 screws will come off, and maybe four will make it back on - if they are lucky. Three of those will be stripped :ROFLMAO:
The dealership was playing music on their overhead P.A. system, so I had to remove the audio track from the video for fear that Youtube would flag it for copyright violation.
This is the first time I have ever tried a Youtube provided free audio track and I just grabbed something from the first...
It looks like there are some cutouts (not even with a cover) in the lower front panel which might be oil drain access, I hope so. And hopefully the filter too.
Also this is not the final production model so we may see some things end up different on production units.
We might look to the newer...
Hello all you Maverick fans! I got a chance to crawl around a demo XLT Hybrid today. I took some shots of the less interesting or less glamorous places - unless you are a ratchet head like me :)
It was interesting to see that the bottom of the vehicle is nearly fully covered with panels...
Can anyone confirm what an order number looks like? I was given a number like D5XX, which seemed a little short. I am not sure if this is just a local dealer assigned tracking number or really a Ford issued number.
Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!
