She thinks it is butt ugly but has thought the same of nearly every BMW motorcycle I've owned. She had only a few requirements ahead of the purchase - leather seats, power seats and carpet. So I now have one of the few non-washout BL interiors. :) Oh, and she picked the color too.
Tax here in Texas is 6.25%. If I trade in my vehicle the dealer deducts the trade-in value from the taxable sale price of the new vehicle. It lowers the tax bill by $625 per $10K USD of trade-in value.
Selling outright for $25K is equal to trading it in to the dealer for $23,438 @ 6.25% tax rate.
I sold my last two vehicles privately vs trading and came out way ahead even with the tax advantage a trade affords you here in Texas. The dealer only has as much power as you are willing to give them.
Chip sets, ICs, ECs, GPUs, CPUs and so on, are all short to demand across a number of industries. The comment of selling to the highest bidder is only accurate in the broker market. Most large manufacturing companies make strategic supply purchases several quarters in advance and suppliers are...
I fully expect my FY21, July 29th reservation will end up being an FY22 build that I will get in the winter/spring of FY22. So, I am just sitting in line waiting.
For what it was, I thought they did a good job. It was windy and cold (for Texas) yesterday. My guess, based on the video, is they were at Hidden Falls Adventure Park. That's about 20 minutes from me in the Texas Hill Country, right off FM 1431. 1431 is a great motorcycle road by the way...
Wow. That was pretty bad on a number of levels. I’m not sure I want to accept the risk of placing an order for a FY21 model. It may be time to get on the sidelines and wait a year or two until Ford can sort things out.
I’d feel better if Ford would just push the entire order process back at...
The optional 33 wheels look good on the BL to me. Upgrading later to the 35s is still an option, although I believe it requires a wheel change too.
My problem is not 33 vs 35, but settling on a color. I mean how hard can that be? White, A51, or Carbon - easy peasy. Too bad a Green will...
Thank you very much.
For the first time today I am considering a 2 door instead of a 4 door. I just wonder if the ride quality will suffer with the shorter wheel base.
The other thing I didn't realize is the WT door handles are color matched.
An actual order does not need to be placed until the end of March, so there is time, through decisive action for Ford to turn things around. Fix the B&P. Finalize pricing. Fix the interiors. Be honest about next steps, timing, delivery estimates, build order. Give us (Texas) an opportunity...
Thank you for the pictures. This is the best set of pictures I've seen of the camo seats.
That combination of colors and pattern is just not right to my eye and brain. Very Mercury Capri-ish, straight out of the 90's.
