Well, as I mentioned previously, my Lightning came in this week but I decided to let it go. A Lariat ER with the extended tow package. $89K. Stopped by the dealership tonight. $115K. $25K Added Mark-Up. And $799 Dealer added appearance package.
I think as sickened as I was that I was...
Yes. They called this morning and said it arrived last night.
Unfortunately, I am going to have to pass. Between the price increase, the loss of the tax credit, and the way the economy has slowed down my business, I just can't justify spending that much. I have a 2021 PowerBoost Lariat that I...
I think the problem (from my standpoint) with the new law is the income limits (maybe a problem) and the Lariat ER MSRP (definitely a problem). So, much like many on here, I am hoping for a Christmas Miracle (12/30 delivery). Merry Christmas everyone and Good Luck!!
Got an email today (12/22) that said it was built with an estimated delivery of 12/30 to 01/05. I checked the website and it said it was "built" on 12/20.
I had already resigned myself to getting the truck in early spring 2023 and not getting the tax credit. Now to possibly miss it by 2 or...
Great Article. This showed up on my phone this afternoon (recommended somehow). I was excited when I saw you were from NC - then I check in tonight and it is on the front page of the forum!! Small world (but I'd hate to have to paint it!). (y)
Got my invite this evening and just placed the order. I placed my reservation at the end of the presentation.
Ordered a Lariat ER with Star White Metallic Tri-Coat and added the Max Trailer Tow package.
Can't believe I'm paying this much for a vehicle - but what am I going to do, leave the...
I opened my email and saw an email from Ford Motor Company and all I could see in the preview pane was, "One invitation you don't want to miss".
OMG! It's happening!!
Then I click it open and it is an invitation to join the Mustang Club of America (I have a Mach E) 😂
Thanks for the positive vibes. I'll probably do like I did with the Mach E and just keep looking every now and then. After about three weeks, I found an actual real car. It is just frustrating having to sift through the mannequins (or worse, just glamour photos of the truck). And I get the...
Probably. Makes sense.
I went through this with my Mach E. I had one on order but it was taking forever (not forever by the standards of the people who had placed their orders in 2019, etc.) so I started looking around and I found all these stock photos or even real photos and it was bait and...
LOL. Yes. I am just making sure that I'm not crazy and missing something. I have found a dealer who is 2 1/2 hours away and has a canceled order that is supposed to be in within the next month (I've been through that with my Mach E so I'm not holding my breath). So far (I haven't received...
I have a reservation that I hope will be able to be converted into an order in the next month. Obviously, that is not a given that I'll get the email to convert my reservation.
Given the 2023 price increase and the loss of a portion (or all) of the tax credit (either due to the price of the...
To be clear, I agree with @PungoteagueDave that these would have sold without the tax incentives to someone else. My point was more that I would not even have considered an EV (barely knew what one was) until I started researching them. And I wouldn't have researched them if the tax credit...
I agree. It depends on your lifestyle. I've had my Mach-E for seven months and I've been to a charging station twice. Been to a gas station ZERO! :)
I am one of the few that hopes they don't change the rules. I bought the Mach-E in April 2021 off a lot and in March 2021 I had never even...
2021 Mach-E (to be replaced by a 2022 Mach-E GTPE)
2020 Volvo XC40 (the wife which will get replaced by the Lightning)
2017 Mustang Convertible 6-spd for the weekends
Another suggestion I've seen is that if you don't have enough tax liability in the year you get the credit (assuming everything stays the same) and you have a Traditional IRA, you can convert some or all of that to a Roth IRA to raise your tax liability for that year (so that you can use all of...
