Took the wife and youngest daugther out to Easter brunch on Sunday. $135. Yikes!

I've been in IT supporting automotive manufacturing nearly my entire career. Oh, and I take offense at you assuming my jobs have not been "real jobs we need and depend on" ... LOL

What year? The 1991 we have been discussion? Adjusted for inflation, $18,000 in 1991 is a little over $41,000 today. Base MSRP on a 2024 Mustang GT is $41,960.

As important is the volume of fuel that the station is moving. The more fuel that moves through the tanks, the less chance there is of it becoming contaminated while sitting underground (In leaky tanks).

Just because you don't care what the facts are doesn't change the facts. Math is math. With all due respect, last year I made 843% as much as I made in 1991 (when I bought a new 1991 Mustang GT). I can only speak for my education and career path choices, not everyone else's. And for the...

Both Shell and Costco use top tier gasoline, but their packages of additives are different. What makes Shell, Shell, what makes Costco, Costco, and what makes every other brand THAT brand is the unique blend of additives in each. Costco and Shell have different blends of additives in their...

That's because Costco uses/is a Top Tier gasoline.

Just ordered mine @ $94. Hey, everybody has to make a buck, right? :)

Bottom line, everybody has their own preferences for 'default' but Ford can only have it set one way. So ...

Yes, but isn't that based on Euros? :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

Michigan (government) sucks ass.

Can't speak for VT (or WI), but in MI, the credit for sale tax is capped at $600 (up to $10,000 on the trade in value x 6% sales tax rate) for 2024. The trade in value cap will go up until it reaches $14,000 in 2029, which means a max of $840 then.

Or perhaps you let someone else drive the vehicle and they don't realize all traction mode or other safety features are off.

I would never recommend doing that, even if available. All that does is cost you more interest. Three months of interest carried for 3-4-5 years can compound into much more than the original amount!

I expect rates to come down, but it will be a very slow draw down.

I hear ya!

Average individual income for 2023 in the United States: $69,029.61 I don't do statistics, but these folks do: Individual Income by Year: Average, Median, One Percent, and Calculator (dqydj.com) Their sources an cites are included on the page in the link.

The current prime interest rate is 8.50%, with the federal funds rate at 5.25 to 5.50% I'd say getting 3.9% for 5 years is stellar, and 2.9% for 4 years is outstanding given the current state of the economy.

My post was constructive as well. Tacky is tacky, no matter how you slice it.

Using the payment estimator on Ford.com, it appears the same rates that just expired are available 4/3/24 through 7/8/24. I don't see the actual program number listed, though: 1.9% @ 36 mo 2.9% @ 48 mo 3.9% @ 60 mo 5.9% @ 72 mo 7.9% @ 84 Mo IIRC, the 1.9% @ 36 mo required at least $2500 down...
