Thanks for the heads up on the warranty, which I have not received. s

I got a stack of those

Seriously though, I got the PordPass points (two oil changes and tire rotations) worth, all of the FITS stuff and my choice of a hat or a shirt. After the airbag recall I got the Yeti water bottle. My dealer experience was very good too. The F&I guy was an ex NASCAR crew guy and had lots of stories to tell but no pressure to buy anything extra from his list of upcharges.

Once again, thank y'all for your help. I don't recall (?pun) the dealership offering me a free oil change; even if they did, it's nearly 45 minutes to an hour one way, in Houston traffic. So, just not worth it. I've changed the oil and filter myself in every car I've ever owned, except for my wife's Toyota Highlander (too much trouble). There is something nice about knowing that you did it yourself : you got the oil and filter you wanted, and the job was done as it should've been. Even the skid plate was easy to remove and replace. All in all, it's a pretty easy job.

On another subject, admitting now that I do not own 5 million shares of Ford, I will say that they got a decent recommendation from "Value Line", trading at an amazingly low 6.6 P/E ratio,. Not a stock you will make a quick buck on, but it does pay a fat 5.6% dividend. "Value Line" liked it for a long-term hold, so it seems like a reasonable purchase for an IRA.. steve

Ford has always been a good stock , back in the bailout dip , i knew ford was still cash rich and would walk on govt offer , i bought extra , gm closed up shop ford had dipped to 2.40/share or so . Within 4-6 months , i had made enough of 5-6k extra to buy a nice boat.just sold that boat !
Still you mage a healthy$250+ gross even with all the ev naysayers comments this year , after tax and a maverick probably what 140-150k this year ?
Not bad . Ge and att are other ones to watch for good dips with divedend plays, im sure you know

When I got my F-150 back in 2014, they took me back to a room with a flickering fluorescent light and cheap, dark paneling. They sat me down in a straight-back chair that was bolted to the floor and told me to agree to everything and sign, or they would attach the electrodes. This was their low pressure sale. They guy in the next room had handcuffs and a rubber hose.

OK. It really was a dark paneled room with a fluorescent light. I was offered coffee, but I don't drink it, so I had them apply my Farm Bureau credit and signed up for Ford credit. I had to keep it for 5 months, then refinanced with Farm Bureau. Hey! That reminds me, I get a $500 rebate, again. May not be worth it if I have to get 7% interest. Maybe I will just loan myself the money from my retirement fund to buy it.

Wow. I only got 30k points when I bought in June.

 

[Bernbeard]

sad, I got coffee and a doughnut

I got to wait 2 hours because my agent scheduled 2 appointments at same time. Then he was gone before license plate install. No coffee water or anything. Oh they forgot tool box and net.

I just finished doing the first oil change on my 2024 Maverick. As I was about to start, having already purchased the oil and filter, my wife asked why this wasn't a freebie. I must admit I didn't know what the dealer said about perqs with the purchase of this truck. Can someone enlighten me about what I'm missing out on. I only have about 1200 miles on the truck, but I wanted to do an oil change during its break-in. Thanks, Steve.

I got a hardy handshake.

@zzbaluba thanx! s

I got a hardy handshake.

But no laurel?

 

[Steve Meltzer]

A greasy handshake is a badge of honor. s

I got a small tote with a travel mug and a bright yellow, horribly disfigured truckers cap with the dealership's name on it.

 

[Bosquebass]

I got $2742 off of the list price. Didn't expect any freebies.

 

[Steve Meltzer]

@Bosquebass you got a good deal, for sure. I paid window sticker and thought I was brilliant for getting them to knock off several thousand in "mandatory add-ons". s

The truck was listed on the dealer's website with the discount. When I asked for a final price, I got hit with the add-ons. It was whole laundry list of worthless items that had no value for me. The window tint was already done but they let the paint sealant and the rest of it slide. After some back and forth I made an offer and the tint ended up costing about sixty bucks. Fair enough.
