Some states or counties are more aggressive on this topic than others. Most people here, if they show a front one at all, leave it resting on the dash. Mine's on the passenger side floor. LOL.
Everyone is going to be a bit different.
Skye took close to two weeks to arrive, by rail and truck. At the other extreme, some have taken 60+ days.
Once the car is produced, it will be sent to a waiting area, the large storage area we've seen the Mustangs parked at; this location is adjacent...
That's cool. Your feedback actually gave me a better explanation for the #4 of 8 production numbers on that date.
First, I reached back to that timeframe, to see scheduling for the production line; there wasn't any listed here at 7G.
But then I noticed your previous posts, location and read...
FWIW, I have not seen so few listed on a sticker before. Unique and/or unusual, but not necessarily anything wrong. I can think of a few factors for that.
July 9th was a Sunday. I haven't been keeping track of production schedules and dates. It could have been a slow day. Maybe a catch-up date...
I've read different interpretations of the blend date. The one which I think is most correct is when the unibody meets the K-member and engine. When the major modules are brought together. A second interpretation involves the sourcing and placing within immediate reach all the parts, from the...
I can't see the dealer allowing you to continue to drive the car.
At the time of trade they are committing to the value of the trade. Any additional wear reduces value. Driving the vehicle further also increases the risk of mechanical damage or accident. Finally, it's in the best interest of...
I would check back with the Sales Manager and confirm if they support Price Protection. The overwhelming majority of dealers do.
The dealer has already made the sale, locking in their profit. If Ford increases the price of the car, Price Protection will pay them the difference between the new...
I welcome and appreciate many of these features, but as with everything in life, it helps to maintain balance.
My current ride is the first car I've had with a fastback design. Ford's BLIS is great, but I've also sensed (no pun intended) it's not 100% accurate in every condition or situation. I...
For my current car, I was initially met with an ADM of $5K when attempting to order, but ended at MSRP. My save?
I explained to them that I could purchase from Granger and have the car shipped to my home, coming in close to MSRP. I helped the salesperson realize a fair profit was better than no...
Ouch.
There's still some candy in this piñata. Neither my Best By date or financial wherewithal are expiring any time soon.
Have a good weekend everyone! :like:
I caught glimpses of the dealer screen when placing my order. There were multiple price points and codes available. Between Ford, the dealer and the accountants, the codes have value. For us clients, I think not much.
The "420" price point is just that: a $ figure dealers offer to clients for that purchase; it is not a guarantee that the client is locked into that price.
*I am not a lawyer. I'd think the only way to lock in your price would be to sign a purchase agreement/contract at the time the order is...
IDK what Ford Marketing is budgeted towards and promoting, but it is not the Mustang. :frown: Other businesses and services are generally quite responsive when a question is posted towards them. :like: :clap:
The "detailers" (Dr. Evil finger quotes in air) at my supporting dealer, while prepping the car for receipt, caused the majority of scratches I later 1) removed myself, or 2) had the PPF installers fix. I actually stopped them halfway through, said, "Thank You." and shooed them away.
Whichever...
Pausing until MY25 is probably best.
The economy, auto market, new model interest, Ford dealing with first-year issues and on-going supply chain problems are influencing the use of ADMs.
Unless having a first year of the mark is important, I'd wait as late a January 2025 to order. The hope is...
Something to study when exploring this topic: how to care for these surfaces. Ceramic, PPF and sometimes paint are often akin to your skin: the materials have pores. Incorrect products, such as some soaps, waxes or sealers can negatively impact the properties of the surface being used on. Simply...
Some individual owners do great working with ceramic coatings. Others, not so much. Given options, I'd rather have a pro do it. They work with the materials consistently, often in controlled areas. The shop that did my PPF, when they apply PPF or ceramic, their sections are no-go areas. No one...
Generally:
1a. Scheduled for production
1b. VIN
VIN is cut the day the build is scheduled for production. Scheduling commits to the build.
2a. Production
2b. Window Sticker
My experience, shortly after production began, I got my/had access to the Window Sticker
