Another good point. The money you're not sinking into an expensive but depreciating asset all at once can be invested in other ways to generate income for yourself. While off-topic, this is a good discussion. It has me thinking for sure, lol.

Besides being able to flip it or trade it in, the thing with financing is that it does help your credit score as well. That said, you also have a point. It's just a sucky time to buy a car in general.

True.

With a FMV used car, a cash purchase might make more sense. But definitely not a brand new car, IMO.

There's alao the fact tthat you're paying for somerhing that depreciates significantly once you drive it off the lot.

Same here.

Why not keep it if it's paid off?

True. I think when I got.my 2018 S550, they weren't really available on dealer lots until the November/December 2017 time frame.

We're here.

The bolded was kind of my thought process as well when deciding to get the PP, Active Exhaust and Magneride.

How the heck did you get a build date 1 day after placing your order, while a lot of us have been waiting 45-60+ days (and counting) to be scheduled? :curse:

I will say though, if the choice is between the Dark Horse or a GT with the Performance Package, just get the GT with the Performance Package as it will be cheaper than a base model Dark Horse.

While you may not track the GT, one thing to consider is that with it being a low-riding car, the extra handling/suspension support from the Performance Package will be beneficial if you live in an area with shitty roads, making for a smoother ride with less wear/tear on the Drivetrain. Not...

If last week was any sign, I speculate this week will just be clean up for July (which means very few new orders getting scheduled). Most likely, those of us not scheduled at this point will probably be scheduled for August at the earliest. But again, just making an educated guess...

I have the same order, but no stripes and ordered from a high volume dealer. I'm still unscheduled as well

I'ma just take the easy (albeit expensive) route, and pay someone else to fix them....:crazy:

Obligatory bump, to see who else besides me is still unscheduled after today's emails go out (several people now have 7/31 builds).

Apparently, you and @Luckybob2485 were two of the very few lucky ones to get scheduled this week. Still nothing here (just checked with Ford chat).

Find another dealer. If they're treating you like that now, i imagine it would only get worse once you place an order and when it's time to pick up your car.

As I said, a lot of the "Supply Chain Issues" at Ford are self-inflicted Ford Supplier Relations Deteriorated Significantly Last Year https://fordauthority.com/2023/05/ford-supplier-relations-deteriorated-significantly-last-year/amp/ Notice, BTW, their crosstown rival has been steadily...
