How many miles on your Outback? 150k miles seems to be their "sell by" date. My '13 @ 205k miles has had major and minor repairs to the tune of $9-10k in the past 15 months. I love the car, but if I knew back in 9/22 when I ordered my Maverick (to be made this month Ford says) that the Subie was...
The up side is I've always wanted a Honda in my life garage and just never ended up with one despite being close. A 1988 Acura Integra 4 door hatchback was the runner-up nominee to my 1988 Nissan Hardbody; a 2013 CR-V was the runner-up to my 2013 Outback. We'll see if it's time....
Went by my dealer Saturday to drop the trifold bed cover since that was the only ongoing constraint I could see. Sales person said they had plenty of allocations. Sales person was going to turn the order change in to their data person Monday. Reached out Tuesday, said the order person urged me...
After 11 months of waiting (I know, I know...minor league compared to some of you...) and getting rolled over to a '24, should I just delete the tri-fold at this point? The constraint has always been a low number; I just thought it wouldn't be hard for them to overcome.....
Apparently there are...
Truck-wise, you’re probably correct. But look at the subcompact, compact and medium size sedans in proportion to their sales numbers and I think Toyota is a slam dunk winner.
I’m not saying they’re perfect. But all in all my experience as well as that of many family, friends and work...
Historical reliability of Toyota vehicles. The fact that Toyota pretty much set the standard for hybrid expectations with the Prius. We’re not talking about a body on frame vehicle.
Great review. Looking forward to someday (hopefully soon) getting mine. I put around 25k on a year, although now that the kid finished college (cha-ching) 200 miles away I expect these next 2 years to have reduced mileage with just my job. I plan to relocate back to the east coast and travel a...
I don't know, my loaded out Lariat Lux hasn't made the cut so far, and the only thing I can think of is the tri-fold constraint. But it appears that is a low constraint....
No, I believe Ford didn't expect the overwhelming response to the Maverick they got, especially hybrids. As was said, just about anything else they make is readily or shortly available (Ford Transit excepted).
The original MSRP was exceptional; Ford could have started at $5k more and still...
Don't expect Tesla's market cap to remain that high. They now have a surplus of cars to sell, and while quality control is improving, it still remains well behind the legacies. And I believe the Tesla FSD chickens are going to come home to roost in the not-too-distant future. I also expect the...
The only reason for that would build constraints OR a dealer blew through their allocation wall. If you ordered the Lariat with a tri-fold, and the next guy same order but no tri-fold, he'll get built since the tri-fold is a (minor at this point) constraint. Makes sense from a production...
My Plan B choices are all top trim hybrids. All have 6-12 month waits on factory orders, or $5k+ ADM if you find one now. Ford’d not the only one with high interest/low availability.
I put in a roll-over order last month. My '23 Lariat Lux was supposed to be Alto Blue; I switched to Carbonized Gray for the '24. Is it safe to say the '23 definitely won't happen, or there's still a miniscule chance of it happening? Because at this point even though it's not my preferred...
Semi-related, my brother bought a used Mustang GT from BMW of Turnersville and they sent him an $87 check for an over-estimate on fees. Nice weekend gas money…
