Long McArthur 2023 Orders Unite!

So i

So if I want to fly to Kansas & pick up in person...... once it is paid for I can just drive it off the lot and register it when I get home to California? No restrictions?

Is there some kind of temporary tag that dealerships provide in Kansas to allow some time to legally drive before registering?

And if I am taking it back to California....do I pay Kansas sales tax on the purchase or pay the sales tax to California?

Thanks for everything you do......

You pay sales tax in California and you get a 60 day temp tag until you can register it in California.

Quick question, if I order from your dealer, is there a charge for a drop shipment to a dealer close to me?

Yes, dealer won't do anything for free. But if you finance with us we will cover up to $1000 of the fee. Most courtesy delivery fees are around $300-600 in the states, Hawaii charges $1500-1800.

As I understand it ,(I lived in Missouri right on the Kansas border for about 6 years), Kansas dealers do not collect sales tax. Instead, the purchaser pays the sales tax when they register the vehicle. This is also how it worked in Missouri. The other two states I've lived in, North Carolina and Virginia, are different. In those states the dealer collects the sales tax and pays it to the state.

I purchased a new vehicle in Missouri about two weeks before I moved back to NC in 2018. I didn't pay tax to Missouri (or apply for a Missouri title) because I knew I was moving. When I got to NC I presented the sales paperwork, paid NC sales tax (which is about 1/2 of what Missouri charges for motor vehicles), applied for a NC title, and got a NC registration. I would imagine that is how it will work buying a vehicle from LM as a non-resident of Kansas.

You have things spot on. I bought a Fusion (in Kansas) in 2013 and they gave me a 30 day temporary from Kansas. I paid sales tax based on my home address in Missouri and received my registration stickers and plates.

Hello folks. After seeing how popular the Chapman and Granger threads were for 2022, figured I would see if I could get a Long McArthur 2023 orders thread started so we can all commiserate while we wait! Feel free to post your order details here and maybe we can eventually do some data analytics like we saw happening with the threads dedicated to Chapman and Granger orders for 2022. @fordvideoguy does an excellent job at keeping us all informed via his weekly YouTube and Facebook streams, but I figured this could give us our "fix" between his episodes. Ha!

If you got "rolled" (term used loosely) from 2022, also welcome to join us!

This is a good thread but a bit premature. I plan to place a MY23 Maverick order with Tim on Aug. 2, but until it's in, it ain't in.

Me too. I am in Texas.

Don't trust my local dealer . . . .

So if I were to place an order on Aug 2nd when will be a ball park estimation delivery date? Lets just say XL hybrid with no options. I know there is no definitive answer to my question since different options may increase wait time. I also have gotten a weird feeling with my local dealer and am considering ordering with Tim and shipping down to Florida.

Anybody who gives you an estimate is just guessing. Even Tim himself. There have been some crazy stories of January orders being in the driveway 2 months later. There have been stories of seemingly unconstrained hybrid orders from mid to late last summer still not being scheduled for production as of today. I know Tim has done better than most dealers when it comes to tracking the data and pushing his regional scheduler/brand manager to get the oldest orders scheduled first. There was at least one time a few months ago where Tim mentioned he had to give a bit of a "sanity check" to the powers that be when it came to which trucks from his open orders were being selected for production. He got some of his seemingly "stuck" hybrid orders scheduled over some of his newer orders that seemed to be getting picked each week.

I believe Tim said in his most recent video that he has something in the range of 170 2022 orders that he thinks will need to be re-ordered for 2023. He has rightly committed to having his staff work on those first thing when ordering opens on 8/2. Then he said he would get the "new" customer 2023 orders in ASAP that same day. I don't recall if he mentioned how many of those he has currently, but the number should be assumed to be growing by the day. For reference, I just scanned back thru an old video......

534 orders. A bunch of that was a large fleet order that he prioritized behind customer orders.
461 when you take out the fleet.
328 of those are Hybrid.
71.1% of his orders are Hybrid.

I don't know if the 170 orders he needs to re-enter for 2023 include that fleet order from 2022.....would be interesting to find out since it is a good chunk of the unscheduled orders if so.

My 2022 order with LM is a EB but if (when) it rolls over to 2023 I am changing it to a hybrid. That will give that hybrid percentage a slight bump up.

Just sent the order via email to Tim for a 2023 Ecoboost for my father. Ordering from Southern Ca, we have never ordered out of state! We decided to order from Long McArthur because our local dealer have not been very receptive.

Wow.......I feel the same as Tim in his video thumbnail. Haha.

For those of you that put in a soft MY23 pre-order request from Long McArthur by way of the MY22 order guide, have you been assigned a salesperson yet? Just curious as I have not yet. Maybe that doesn’t happen until the order is placed Aug 2nd. I realize they are probably flooded with pre orders. I have full trust in Tim, again just curious.

I had to dig around but I eventually got mine. I got Mitch. He's been super helpful with just keeping me up to date with things

I was assigned a sales person Thursday. Mike B. He seemed pretty solid when we talked briefly. That was before I understood the order banks had been delayed. As my Oct 9, 2021 order was lost or deleted or vanished in June 2022 I’m chomping at the bit to get an order back in the system. I was tired of waiting at 8 months but never dreamed I’d have to start all over. I feel Long McArthur will do me right. I had a local dealer last go around.

To complement your post @fordvideoguy mentioned that he believed LM's allocations were pared to 20 per month so other dealers in the KC district and their region could get their June, July and August orders scheduled. Most of the September orders were scheduled with the 17 slots LM had for July and even a bare bones XL hybrid with an 11-2 order date was scheduled.

He stated that the six person LM team's first priority for Mavericks will be the ordering of all unscheduled MY22's.

It will be interesting to see how many allocations they'll get for August and how long after 8-18 Ford will continue to schedule MY22's.
