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...

"All returns and exchanges must be returned to Ford (for orders shipped directly to you) or the dealer (for orders picked up from the dealer) solely at your expense, except in the case of Ford or dealer error. "

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...
It's a little of both.
Yes, it's a good sign. They've run the order through Ford's systems; it is an achievable configuration they can build. No errors. :crackup:
But now, you're waiting to be scheduled. :headbang:
Once the cars are built, they are placed in a semi-sleep state, aka "transport mode". One reason is to limit what the driver (trucker, rail operator, thief) can do with the car. Another reason might be to limit these electrical losses.
Further, after about two weeks, Ford vehicles by default go...
^ This, plus 1.
I recommend using the Internet Sales department at the dealer of interest.
Dealers often have an Internet Sales department, along with the traditional front office Sales. Internet Sales work via phone and e-mail, not on the sales floor.
If using the Ford web site, you can...
You're safe waiting to order until 2024 starts. Ford has extended this MY into 2024 to re-align the MY to where it traditionally sits in the Calendar Year. After the Holidays, late January 2024, might be a good time.
Rear Seat Delete...I checked the Order Guide I currently have, Ford, Googled...
Most buyers receive their VIN once the car has been scheduled for production.
After Ford receives an order and before the car is scheduled for production, Ford is gathering parts, scheduling assembly lines and workers for build dates.
Once the car is scheduled for production, Ford is committed...
Ford should confirm receipt of your order within 24 hours by sending you an email directly.
Reasons for not receiving an email:
1. Being sent to an account which no longer exists
2. Ad-blockers or anti-virus placing in spam
3. Dealer mis-types
4. Dealer uses their e-mail as contact, not yours...
