Our bids are coming in @ ~$1300. At least one of the places also does vinyl and I'm thinking I can have them do the letters on the grille while Steamboat is sunbathing.
I'm evaluating several first hand recommendations from people I trust and several replies from a Yelp inquiry. It seems the best guys want to see the truck first hand and make sure we're on the same page--touchy subject. (We just got bumped again into 3 more days of Rail Yard Limbo.) One...
Hmmm. We asked our dealer about ceramic coating. They offered to do it for $895, but to be sure of quality, we're going with an independent shop.
Your mention of Ford Protect SurfaceCare is the 1st I've heard of it. Looks like a good package, but our dealer didn't offer it. "Tree sap, bird...
Rail Yard Limbo Day #13 and bumped again. :(
Pizza tracker pushed us back from 2/11 to 2/14. The saga is in my signature.
I am going to bug my sales guy tom'w. He said in a 1/27 e-mail it could be 1-2 weeks. Tomorrow is 2 weeks. I remember one person on this forum whose dealer expedited...
Here in the SF Bay Area, one of our 76 stations serves racing fuel @ 100 octane @ $9/gal. (It's probably the Sunoco product.) I treated my 5L V8 Mustang to it a couple of times, but will just use the 91 for "Steamboat."
I like the retro script one, but might also like ones like you plan for rear doors. (Mine is (er...will be...) 2-dr) Just the horse. If you plan to offer these to other than First-Batchers (we sound like Flat Earthers), you probably don't want the top one. Thanks for your industry and creativity!
Few people, if any, got a shipping notice. Ask your dealer for your rail car number and start calling the automated train trackers. It's a sometimes tedious, sometimes nerve-wracking vigil.
This was not true for me. My build day showed as and was executed on 1/9. At that point the pizza tracker showed EDD 1/28-2/2. It was on the train on 1/18, got to San Jose 1/27, and has been in Rail Yard Limbo ever since. EDD went from the original estimate --> 2/13 --> 2/06 --> 2/08 --> 2/11. I...
There is also the intangible of peace of mind. Statistically, we lose and the insurance company wins. I dislike all insurance for that reason. But I, and my husband more so, have a little program always running in our heads: "what if we need really big repairs......" (My husband is on his 3rd...
We will try to do that too. That negotiation is a game time decision, right?--when you're signing the papers? I really like our sales guy and the whole small dealership, so we would give them the benefit of the warranty $$ if they give us a good deal.. One stipulation would be that the price of...
The truck comes with a warranty. Some Posters have said they buy a new policy after 2 years and 11 mos (on a 3-yr warranty). However, we just checked Flood: no matter when you buy, they start the coverage from the date of purchase, 0 miles. So we save a bit by buying now, before the price goes...
