I can think of two, maybe three contributing factors associated with the issue:
1. Lack of a roof requires convertibles to be strengthened in ways and in areas coupes are not, to help maintain chassis rigidity and for safety. Design time, more safety tests, maybe unique assembly.
2...
To the first question: Correct.
My experience, it was a typical Internet purchase. Using the Granger website referenced in this thread, I paid the price displayed at checkout.
Edit: One to two days after the Internet purchase, someone from the Granger team e-mailed me the warranty contract, to...
FL requires the provider to be licensed by the state of FL, even if they are a Ford dealer offering a Ford warranty. IDK how many out-of-state Ford dealers are licensed to sell in FL, but I imagine it is not many.
^ This, +1.
At a minimum, I saved hundreds of $$$ for a Ford plan versus anyone else.
Granger's site makes it easy and painless. You'll have a review and confirmation in about 1-2 business days. Information will be available via Ford Pass app afterwards.
Edit: if you're not sure of duration...
If you're not already familiar, ceramic tint is the latest generation/type on offer. I have it installed and it works very well. Blocks UV rays while not interrupting radio signals (cell, wireless, garage door opener).
I have 30% sides and back (legal in CO), with a 70% across the entire...
I'm assuming the dealer does not sell a lot of Mustangs.
Allocations are often gifted and weighted to those dealers which have previously sold more of that model. It's a two-edged sword.
Working with a smaller dealer or one in a lower volume sales area might get a fairer price, but the site...
:thumbsup: All the cool kids drive Mustangs. :rockon:
The first decision a person makes is often the best and correct one. Reads like you're on the right path. You've bought a new car you've always wanted and won't be concerned about the financial aspects of it once you have it. It's going to...
Thanks for posting. Watched the first 10 mins or so.
I'd like to sit in one on a sunny day and view the screens. The intensity of the readouts I'm sure can be adjusted (Selectable auto-adjust feature, Ford?). Reflections are a concern, but I believe this can be alleviated with a clear matte...
S550s can suffer from the same issue. While nothing new, there is no fix. Nothing to fix. Kind of the nature of the beast. Along with types of paints and materials being used, the use of metallics like flakes in colors makes it still more difficult to match.
For original S550 production models...
We'll probably have a break-in thread/sticky at some point. In the mean time...
Ford often references a period of 1,000 mi / 1600 km. While engines are often the primary focus, consider the entire drivetrain is getting settled, the parts seated.
The 2022 manual advises oil consumption might...

I've not attempted to use this specific feature, but the Ford Pass App does allow for locking and unlocking via a persons' phone.
Personally, I'm not all in on the interconnectedness, and yes, I realize I'm probably an outlier. I'm just not into...

Warning on the factory shift knobs: they are held on with an glue/epoxy and can take some effort to remove.

Previous deliveries could give us a ballpark. After spending a handful of days in the lot, Skye took 10 days from Flat Rock to Denver. Two days for dealer prep.
Recaros are fantastic, but they do tend to favor slimmer and smaller-framed people. If they have any models on-site now with them, maybe do a test drive or just sit in one while having a cup of coffee.
FWIW, at my latitude, heated and/or cooled seats are not a dealbreaker. If driving during the...
What you're seeing is normal. When Ford increases the amount of the base price or option, all Ford documents thereafter reflect the new price, regardless of past agreements. Never hurts to confirm with the dealer, but you should be fine with Price Protection. It'll be kind of weird, with factory...
The Transportation sector has been dealing with multiple, significant, simultaneous headwinds for the last several years.
The pandemic accelerated the demise of brick and mortar stores and increased the use of direct to consumer channels. Logistics and Transport systems have been fundamentally...
FWIW, I did an initial read through some solar-powered systems.
Like home units, solar units come in different sizes. A member who drove infrequently was having battery issues. He had a fine traditional tender which was working correctly, but he had mis-sized it. The tender was capable of...
