I have had the xlt since mid January. Excelllent vehicle and "I" do like the 2.0 EcoBooost. Quiet, shifting is very smooth...I did not want the Hybrid as it is too new technology and Ford's first buillding of this engine. If there are going to be problems in the future regarding the drive...
Yes I can see your concern. I think Ford has been doing a complete injustice to all of us who preordered the Mav...without even seeing it personally or test driving it....As I ordered in early July and it was to be built this week of 12/16. If it hadn't been that the dealer said that upon...
I have a 2016 Lincoln MKX..new in late 2016. It has a flexing, shaking hood just like you are talking about. I told the Lincoln dealer service manger about it..but ...he wasn't concerned as he said he has seen most of them do it. Not a good answer and no further followup with Lincoln. But,,it...
Not really any longer for the past many years. The dealer has a chance to make 1 - 1/2% on interest on the amount of the loan. So the dealers really want for people to take out a loan. Now the dealers only act as agents for banks they are working with in the community or for the manufacturer's...
I fortunately have had mine 'scheduled for production' on 11/15...it was changed to 11/22 week today as the plant as we know is shutting down part time for lack of parts. I order 7/10/21...xlt....from a mid size dealer. I know I was #2 ordering a Maverick thru this dealer. They have about 10...
Spent several years with a Lincoln/Mercury dealership....the margin b4 holdback is about $ 1200. The dealers may eventually negotiate a discount of eventually $ 500....but vehicle is so new with only these margins...so a dealer isn't likely at this time to swing a deal unless it is getting close...
I worked in a Ford dealership for about 5 years in the early 1990's. Most dealerships don't tell floor sales people much of anything..unless they aren't making their sales quota. The dealership person anyone needs to talk wtih if he wants to get 'more' accurate information is the 1) Sales...
Kansas, for one, has ridiculous property taxes on vehicles. One reason I moved to Oklahoma. On brand new vehicles you pay a 3.25% excise tax on the MSRP of the new vehicle. The next year and going forward it is $ 97.50 per year...until the vehicle gets to 10 years old and it drops down to the $...
If the waiting goes too long....I am one consumer that will cancel. There are others like Toyota and Nissan...and even ,,maybe,,,the Hyundai Cruz......consumers will only wait so long for anything in the USA. I hope Ford begins to see more comments like mine.
I have worked in the car industry for over 25 years. The average gross on used cars at a dealership runs on the average of about $ 1200 per unit. When you figure 25% + commission paid to salesmen, interest expense for holding the used car for sale an average of 45 days plus the...
