I'm out.
For me, it was a culmination of factors:
Not going to get until likely in the Fall (late July Reservation)
Black interior - I live in the south, and the idea of dark seats in a vehicle with doors and roof off sounds miserable where I live.
Started to look at what else was out...
For me, they've screwed up this launch enough to have me contemplating getting another vehicle for 2-3 years and then come back to the Bronco.
(and before you get all excited, I didn't reserve mine until late July, so most of you won't be moving up the line)
If he's like most car salesmen, he doesn't understand how the math works on vehicles. He probably believes the invoice price is what the dealer actually paid the the vehicle.
If you're just trying to get a ballpark to determine affordability, use an online calculator and offer aggregator like bankrate.com. But realize rates could be different by the time you are actually buying.
Don't expect anything special from Ford in the way of rates. Figure outside financing...
Businesses can do what they want, I just don't get it.
As someone who runs a business, if you come to me having done 95% of the work, I just need to fill out paperwork and then clean and inspect a product - figure 3 hours of work - I'll take the sale as long as it is over my overhead cost...
I can't figure out why a dealer like Akin in Winder wouldn't be more inclined to do a deal for a group of people. They aren't having to sell or pay carry interest, only process the delivery. And their size would allow them to process a bunch very efficiently. They are already one of the...
I've gotten nothing back from any of the Georgia Dealers I've contacted. In the end it's either join mustang club or something similar for x-plan eligibility or go to Iowa or WV and save an extra $1300.
Maybe I'm wrong, but this is my thought with reaching out to dealers. The smaller town dealers who don't do quite the volume as the big ones would get a bigger benefit by a volume spike. But they also have to worry about if they could process the volume.
They have to decide if making a...
The more I read these types of threads, the more I realize how much financial education is lacking in our society.
#1 - Love the title of the thread. Really hits the root of the topic.
#2 - It's not a HORRIBLE idea, though there is likely a better one. It's about rates, and terms. There's a...
True, not all have a fee to the participant. You would have to check your company's Summary Plan Description, and Fee Disclosure Statement to see what (if any) the costs are. Some plans also have annual fees in addition (or in place of) to the processing charge too. These fees are there to...
I literally made an account to address this as a financial planner:
The cost of borrowing against your 401k (or any workplace retirement plan) is substantial:
1 - It is literally a withdrawal of your own money, so the missed return is a cost.
2 - 401k Loans have fees for processing
3 - You have...
