Sorry for the Yellow Alert on that one - its obviously easier to buy and sell vehicles to and from a dealer than privately so we both had to take care to not have a bad day. If these guys end up needing to buy another truck from someone here the next seller can know that the check clears...
Well, someone's iPhone had been linked to mine already when I took delivery, probably the owner of the dealership? What was I going to do? Demand another truck? No Harm done.
Prima Nocte.
I've had encouraging ongoing correspondence with this member. No single case was the point of my original post, but I'll update here as things progress.
Even if I report back though and say it went great, you don't know me either though!
Something interesting has come up this week, and I must choose my words carefully...
We went ahead and listed our truck here on the forum as available for sale as we have decided to go ahead and part with it. We have an offer from a local dealer that has been on hold until the DMV caught up...
I have a firm offer from a local dealer, but a few days before we will pull the trigger. Let me know if you are seriously interested. PM please.
Less than 100 miles
Lariat
510A package
Silver Blue metallic
Max Tow Package
Standard Range Battery
ProPower on board
100% perfect
- Does not fit in...
No MMe's at Galpin available - but I'm about to sell my nearly identical Lightning! I've got the same truck with about 70 miles and the max tow package, but it's just not practical in the garage....
Need a spare truck?
Well.. We didn't move the way you think...
The new house was about 6 miles away, but we were getting about 70% new furniture, cleaning out a garage, and making it happen around the rest of our lives, so we did over about 4 months - starting with finding the new furniture during a time when...
I'd park it outside in the driveway if I had one, but the garage door opens to the street which is a fire lane. I used to park my Bolt in the driveway and run the charge cord under the door all the time, that was the plan when I ordered the truck at the old house.
I see where you're going with...
I understand some dealers may not even let you drive your truck before signing for it, much less take it home,e. There are currently no F150s available to take home - Lightning or otherwise. of course the dimensions are available and I measured to make sure it fit, but I didn't apply the same...
I think I'd need the ablative ceramic clearbra on the front to keep the paint nice if I was going to drive it that fast... (Actually since you like the math, is there enough juice in the battery to get it going that fast - if we cheat and assume that air resistance didn't increase with speed -...
For those that purchased it was a simple calculation. They noted the mileage for the first time the car was brought in for service for that particular issue (HV battery) and divide that 120,000 miles. That percentage is then multiplied by, and then deducted from, the total price you paid out...
It would have been easier to buy a different house. I don't think the dealers have any F150 loaners to let people drive home. I was aware of the dimensions, but only got as far as "it fits", I didn't do the math on "but my wife will refuse to park it" however. Its been a busy year. Mea...
We didn't buy our Lariat last weekend planning to flip it, but we've made the decision to sell it in a week or two to a local dealer for about what we paid for it, with regret...
Last year when we got confirmation that GM was going to buy back my Bolt I ordered a Mach E and a Lighting...
I just wanted to let members know about my experience at Galpin Ford (Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley). Galpin was for many years the #1 Dealer in the US by virtually all metrics, and I think can be considered #1 by several metrics still but there are a couple other newer megadealers that can...
I just did a chat on the Ford.com site and they confirmed my Truck is actually on the way. It is currently in West Chicago Railyard and is expected at the dealer here in Southern CA around 8/26.
Oh my... well. We went there? I truly appreciate the imagination and creativity brought to this discussion, although it scares me methane-less. Ahem.
If you want to complain about how the government spends your tax dollars and picks winners and losers, you might want to think for a few...
