Quick story here: note my $3.45 set of Mabett wheel flares. I got these through Buywander, one of the many auction sites popping up to that deal in returns from Amazon, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Walmart etc. Everything starts at a $1. You pay a 15% buyers premium at end of sale. I figured I...

I got the oem ford color "Paint Scratch repair pen Touch Up" from my dealer. It's got the paint on one end with a small fingernail polish brush and the clear laquer overcoat on the other end along with a small abrasive tip (about the thickness of a kitchen match.) I originally applied the...

Quick update- Yes, i ignored the help suggestions here and Yes, I am impatient by nature. With that being said, (and to save me a 25 mile round trip to the auto parts store as a last resort to buy some 2000 grip finishing paper) , i used that abrasive tip on the end of the ford color match...

yeah, its called impatience

thanks to all for the help. I secured the proper color from my dealer................... and immedlately ignored all of the info here and used the applicator brush. The color match is fine, but now I have to sand and buff down. Suggestions/tips for that task? I will go to auto store and get...

Wow Gang! Great conversation and tips from all; Score one for the Shack man! As this is a Maverick owners forum, obviously most of you already have the vehicle and know most of this. My goal was to help anyone visiting who didn’t already own one (like me previously) how to secure one with the...

The window sticker (at least the Ford window sticker) has the build date at the bottom. Add 14 days or so to be safe for shipment to the dealer for best estimate. CAVEAT: Dealers make trades of inventory all the time. This might not be accurate to the amount of time the dealer you are...

Most people hate the car buying experience; I don’t. I love it. I love the back and forth and treat it as a game I am determined to win. I don’t understand why car dealers make it so painful to buy vehicles; the process is slowly changing but for most people it is like getting a root canal...

I mentioned some tips and tricks I used I would share to help you become stronger buyers but will post them on a new thread to keep all this clean. @Mike TowpathTraveler , this whole thing was never about money. I note this forum has several enthusiasts here and that is why I consulted it in...

Thanks gang . There’s more to the story. I’m on the road and will fill in later this week with the balance and some Tricks and tips I have used to make you stronger buyers
