Not a fan of all the markups, but if someone is willing to pay it, I think, by definition, it’s fair market value…

Ha! THIS! I was about to respond to that post: "Tell me you you have no experience investing in mutual funds without telling me you have no experience investing in mutual funds."

My plan: If I have not heard anything about my 22 order (which was placed about the same time as yours) by the time the 23 model order banks open, I plan to place a second order for a 23 with the exact same options at a different dealer on that day.

My guy literally told me to stop texting him. He said the dealer wouldn't have any information until I get my production email.

I'm just being hopeful here, I guess. Since there is no rhyme or reason to what orders get selected for production, the only comfort to be found would be in the idea of ALL the 22 orders being built in 22. Does Ford release the number of orders they have and/or their rate of production? I...

Why not?

I posted this in another thread, but its probably worth repeating here. For me the biggest issue with financing a vehicle (which people rarely, if ever, talk about) is the overall question of affordability. I'm not talking about "can you make a monthly payment" as much as I am "what price...

The CEO of GM is on the record as saying that the only factor that enters into (at least GM's) vehicle pricing is "what people are willing to pay." If people convince themselves that they need the latest and greatest and they are willing to take out a 6 year loan to buy it....prices will go up...

This may be true in the aggregate. But if an individual is disciplined, pays attention to what's going on, is wiling to learn and puts forth even an average amount of effort, this absolutely doesn't have to apply to them. The American system is designed to separate you from your money. The...

All good points in this thread. People really gotta think about the importance of ratios (X percent of my income on housing, Y percent of my income on vehicles, Z percent of my income on saving, etc.) when it comes to making a plan for your money. If you are trying to address all the areas...

Sorry. I should have clarified. I should have said: "That must mean that all 2022 MY builds that are going to be scheduled for 2022 will be scheduled by August 15th?" I did not mean to ask or assert that ALL outstanding 22MY orders would somehow magically be scheduled by August 15th. My...

Yeah...the exact inverse of which is that "all 2022 MY builds will be scheduled by August 15th." Am I missing something here???

That is interesting information. That must mean that all 2022 MY builds will be scheduled by August 15th?

Thanks for the responses. So I'm assuming that if your order gets converted from one model year to the next that you will have to make a trip to the dealer to discuss the vehicle options that may have changed from one year to the next?

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but hopefully others are interested... Background: NO reservation. Walk in order at large dealer on 11/3/21. Base with only Squatch and switches. Received email from Ford 5 minutes after I ordered and literally haven't heard one thing since. Given that...

For me the biggest issue with financing a vehicle (which people rarely, if ever, talk about) is the overall question of affordability. I'm not talking about "can you make the monthly payment" as much as I am "what price should you be paying in the first place." When you stroke one big check...
