    I think mine is at the dealer! Ford’s order tracking shows ā€œFinal Preparationā€ and ordertrack.app shows it at the dealer and the reservation page has switched to ā€œready to purchase!ā€œ. Dealer is not open yet. A few of us at PDX were stuck at the rail yard/port terminal in Portland as our delivery...

    I’m not an economist, and only time will tell if this is really the medicine we need, but there’s definitely pain with this approach, and we’re certainly getting our fair share. It’s a painful waiting game for sure watching your monthly payment tick higher with every Fed meeting as you wait for...

    Update on my situation if anyone finds it useful/interesting - truck arriving next week. 1. Was approved for 65k/3.64% for 84 months or $65k/2.64% for 72 months from USE CU. (they are in California, truck will be titled and kept in OR.) I would have gone with that rate if the dealership...

    So my financing experience lately has been full of insanity at every turn. Here are a few examples: 1. Parsons is obtuse about income sources and can't seem to figure out my DTI correctly from W-2 and rental income correctly and simply stopped responding because they probably have simpler...

    Totally understand this line of thinking, and obviously youā€˜re doing something right if you can write a check for it. Getting close to buying a new house you probably don’t want another loan affecting your DTI so I get your approach there. If you want to goose that 1% to something higher, I...

    Well, this thread is generally for those financing the truck, but I guess buying outright is a ā€œfinancing option.ā€ I noticed your original post mentioned a 0% interest rate though - I might take another look at that number, unless you don’t have a way to invest the $49,512.88 that would return...

    Ok, did you get a specific loan amount and down payment from him yet? Here was my process last week. Let me know where you are in this process and hopefully this helps: (did you get past the Tuesday step yet?) Monday. Bradley: ā€œThanks for your application. (I had already gotten them tax returns...

    ? Did you get them a signed PO? Are you working with Bradley there?
  9. Financing the 2022 Lightning Purchase - Add Your Options

    How so? I still have a backup but Parsons gave me the advertised rate, just with a high down payment but it still makes more sense in the long run for me at that rate. I just have to get them the signed PO as soon as the dealer will get that to me.

    Contacted first CN Railways via phone (no web tracking) and tried to track this morning but they aren't able to give out tracking over the phone to anyone but the dealer or Ford. Chatted with Ford and it was in Riverdale, IL yesterday, then I believe it transfers to Blue Island, IL (both outside...
  11. āœ… 8/1 Lightning Build Week Group

    Nice - mine also says Convoy and I just got off with Ford Chat. Mine shipped by Canadian National Railways. Can’t track online but I could call. Since mine is going to the Portland area, this is just the first stage - it gets transferred to another rail carrier in Blue Island, IL - near Chicago...

    Oh, I see that now. New to all this, need a little more coffee this morning. I wasn't expecting the truck to ship or to be opening up console windows this early. Guess I'll try my dealer or Ford chat for rail car info. (edit: Ford chat not available until 8am PST on weekends)

    Hey @SeanOC I saw your post https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/lightning-order-decoding-tracing-guide.10224/ about the Palsapp hack not working this morning. Same here, unresponsive search button when VIN is entered on both Safari and Chrome. I got the Shipped email this morning. I...

    Platinum no spray-in, and the coveted ā€œmulticountourā€ seat delete. ?? I’ll be happy with the truck, but it will always have an asterisk next to ā€œhappy.ā€
  15. āœ… 8/1 Lightning Build Week Group

    Check this morning! Mine finally went to Built. Blend and in-production dates 8/3 for me, Built 8/17. (although it didn't show built on the order page until 8/18.)
  16. āœ… 8/1 Lightning Build Week Group

    The order tracking site was kicking back to the VIN and order # entry screen earlier, but after it refreshed: still no built date. Platinum, blend date 8/3. There’s a tiny part of me that dares to hope that maybe they found a Max Recline or at least an Active Motion seat to complete my order...

    Allegacy update: they are very Chex sensitive and inflexible when you explain that you are applying to different credit unions for different auto loans. I also recently opened a new personal and business checking account with 2 new banks so that may have something to do with it as well. They...

    Ok, here’s my financing update. I went with Parsons and got approved for 2.49% on 84 months but they wanted $25k down so I’m basically putting down the money for an economy CUV and financing the reset lol. Here was my thought process after spreadsheeting it. I don’t think of it exactly the same...
  19. āœ… 8/1 Lightning Build Week Group

    Just a quick update - blend date of 8/3, has not switched to Built yet. Platinum, no spray in bedliner or other options, and of course with the famous seat delete like the rest of us but mine was a Max Recline delete. I’m not on the tracker for a silly reason - I don’t have an ā€œofficialā€ gmail...

    I’m actually a USE member - they had a great bonus to open an account/get a referral but I hadn’t quite looked at their 72 month rate of as low as 2.64% for 72. I had been fixated on 84 months and am currently looking at advertised rates of 3.5% or under. But that 2.64%/72 might work too. Thanks...
