How many are regretting

[ZBOBMAN]

My wife bought me a red 2024 GT convertible for my birthday. It was a complete surprise. She really knows me. She ordered it exactly as I would have. My only regret is that I did not meet her and marry her sooner.

I regret buying the car and I have not taken delivery yet. The salesperson sent pictures of the car as it came off the transport. I ask for a picture of the drivers side headlight, and sure enough, it has the gap between the light and bumper. Sad that the factory let's this go pass QC. It also took 3 weeks to get it here, no telling who all got to hot rod the car as it has 20 miles on it. Ford said it shipped on the 29th of Feb. And it got here of the 20th of March. I will see
what other defects it has when I see it in person. It's been a long 3 month wait and maybe for nothing. I too purschsed many new cars ( 68 ) have not had such bad fit and finished as I have seen and read about here. Sorry for rant.

Per your post, you haven’t bought it yet. Walk away or have them realign the panels or do it yourself, pretty easy stuff really.

This. I had some issues taking delivery of my vehicle. Nothing that the dealership/service department could not take care of without question.

Not one regret. I love my car. My wife (who was kind of eye-rolly about getting it) has even come to love it.

I get similar eye rolls from the wife and I haven't even taken delivery yet LOL. I hope mine comes around at some point too.

If you haven't taken delivery, you haven't bought anything. Walk away if you don't like it. Problem solved.

Which is precisely one of the reasons dealerships exist.

To me...the biggest problem is no longer the screens but how they are utilized... this looks horrible to me... either make the screens smaller or make the graphics larger... this makes it look like part of the screen is burned out...

Mine doesn’t look like that. Mine takes the whole screen. But I have the base GT.

Regrets mean you weren't serious to begin with. Should have done this, should have done that...we've all been through it. Research the hell out of something, then made an educated decision. Wife and I researched the S650 for months before buying. I knew what we were getting and upon arrival...no disappointments.

It's all about camera placement. Just ask all those Instagram models ;) When seated and driving, the bezel is blocked by the steering wheel so you only focus on the instrument cluster. I don't think it's necessary to have a tiny bezel with added illumination/graphics behind the steering wheel. It's a car, not a television. Just my opinion. As to this thread, loving my GT PP!

Y'all have got to get past a mere 20ish miles on your cars at delivery. These things go through testing at FRAP and are driven off and on rail cars and trucks. Look at a satellite image of FRAP....it's huge! Unless someone can show me proof I highly doubt anyone is hot rodding your cars. I had 18 miles on mine at delivery, and yes it also took 3 weeks. I don't think anyone was out hot rodding her or doing burnouts. I do think she sat at the Birmingham railyard for 2 weeks and probably had to be moved a few times, but it is what it is. Neither my salesman nor I had any control over it. I absolutely love my car and have zero regrets. Now if you have 80-100 or more miles, sure you should ask some questions. I wouldn't fret about 20 miles though. That's not that uncommon.

Am glad a few understand the design intent.
Good explanation

My 2024 Mustang had something like 3 miles on it when I took delivery. My wife's VW had 60 miles on it when we took delivery. VW said it's typical and showed me some other cars on the lot and they are all at least 40 miles on odometer. I would start asking, as you say, at 80 - 100 miles. That's a little high IMHO.

I do wish mine would have also only had 3 miles on it. Would've been awesome, but no way I was refusing delivery as everything else was exactly as I had requested from the dealer. Very happy for you that yours did, though!
