This depends on the benefit they offer. Data Dots guaranteed they'd pay you $5000 in addition to whatever your insurance paid you if the vehicle wasn't recovered in thirty days. One of my managers had his F-150 stolen from his driveway. The miscreants took it to an abandoned field, stole the...

I'm a former Ford salesman, and as such I think I can clear a couple things up. I've seen some posts of some skeevy stuff, and (without knowing the state's laws or the dealership) this one doesn't seem all that bad. If they seem more interested in financing it's because they are. Dealers work...

I've seen very few people who are on the fence about RE. They seem to either love or hate it. However, Azure Gray is very meh as a color. When my Race Red Heritage arrived, a custom ordered AG Heritage dropped with it. The customer sacrificed his deposit and declined to pick it up. It sat on...

As someone who has had formal training in the judicious use of lethal force, I'm going to urge anyone who thinks this not to say it online. Whether your joking or serious doesn't matter, what matters is that if - God forbid - you ever have to take a life in self-defense, what you've written on...

When I was in car sales, a 40 year veteran of the industry explained to me that all manufacturers tend to put lighter, softer tires on their vehicles to increase gas mileage. This allows the companies to get their cars out in the face of ever more unreasonable CAFE standards. When the time comes...

I live in Springfield. Who wants to arrange a group meet-up?

I picked up my '23 today. It actually came a month ago, but I had plumbing disaster on Christmas that affected my finances. Corwin Ford in Springfield, Mo was very understanding and held it for me all this time. Someone else had ordered a Cactus Gray Heritage and then abandoned it, so it sat on...

I've always wondered, how much are the UAW dues?

I agree with that. When we took our cross-country trip right after buying the Tesla, we took our Outlander instead. As someone nobody would call green, I find much of they hype to be self-defeating. They aren't magical, and they have definite drawbacks. Any EV evangelist who says otherwise is...

First, commuting is not a niche market. That's the primary purpose for most vehicles. Second, I'm old enough to remember a time when the electric car was considered the holy grail of automotive pipe dreams. It was something everyone thought was nice, but making a functional one was considered...

They expire after a limited time. I think it's a year.

IIRC, You receive 30,000 for if you buy a Ford Gold Certified preowned vehicle. Something to keep in mind if you see a used Bronco at a Ford Dealer since they're almost guaranteed to meet the standards for certification which is less than four years old and less than 80k miles.

The Used car market has been wonky ever since the pandemic. My '16 Mustang with a 6 cylinder is only worth about $1k less than I paid for it in 2018, and that's in trade-in value. That said, loans are about risk factor. Someone with a good credit score and income can score that easily.

I grabbed your post because it was the most recent when I posted. I didn't mean to call you out specifically. We don't know the OP's income, so it could be that $1200/mo is perfectly inline with his discretionary spending. If I could afford that, I'd still complain if I wasn't getting what I...

While I'm still waiting for a build date, I've been browsing Ford's accessory site while daydreaming. It makes me wonder what everyone is spending their Ford Pass Points on. Oil changes? Accessories? If accessories, how has that worked for you? Has the process been smooth? Are the items of...

I work in car sales and I have some serious questions about the OP, but the second part isn't ridiculous. If it was $80k, and he had a $15-20k down payment, that puts him in about the $1200 range depending on credit rating and length of term. I see that payment range often when dealing with...

Did you order any dealer installed options with it? Those will add to your wait time in addition to the processing.

I sell Fords for a living. We're supposed to talk up the virtues of any vehicle we're selling. As such, I never bring up the B&O speakers in any vehicle. If asked, I tell them how many speakers it has, and move on to the next subject.

I'm salesman at the dealership in question. I don't know the specifics of that deal so I won't comment on anything else, but I can tell you that part is true. I don't understand the why of it, but we do take pics of everything that comes in and post it on our site. And we outsource the site to a...
