Future Mach-E buyers, please note…

I'll let you know. They said I have to get it before year end because they had a great year and want to expense it in 2023. So, I'll let you know soon enough I suppose.

That should not be a problem. Their order time now is usually less than 2 weeks from order to delivery, especially in your town being so close to the factory. If the order has not gone in yet, you can use a referral code to get you $500 off the car, 6 months of free supercharging, and 3 months of full self driving. Any Tesla owner can give you a code (If you need one just let me know and I can get you one). The only catch is the referral code has to be used when you place the order or reservation.

You can also check out Tesla's inventory page. They usually have several in stock and those can be delivered in a few days . The referral code works for those too as long as you enter it as you enter it at the time you order.

This week Carvana offered me $28k for my 21 select AWD w/ 25k miles. I'd take your $20k GTPE any day

The loyalty scores (ownership duration) of all current MME owners are going to go through the roof, but for a different reason lol.

I had no plans to sell my Mach E as I enjoy driving it. However circumstances have changed and I find myself with [free] access to another vehicle for the next 2-3 years.

Take and run

Everyone wants a minivan...

I don’t really understand why anyone is surprised that their vehicles have lost value. Most vehicles lose a lot of value in the first few years of ownership, there’s a reason why people always joke about how you basically lose half the value when you drive off the lot.

I just got my Mach e but I wouldn’t buy a used one. Super high interest rates on used cars, no tax credit, and a big question on how someone treated the battery, especially on any performance models.

The vehicle I traded was originally like 70k, it was worth 38. It was a 2021 and MSRP has increased.

Oh well. That’s life. I enjoyed it and I’ll enjoy this one.

Driveway’s offer on 2022 Premium AWD ER with 8,200 miles is $29,355. I won’t be selling anytime soon, but damn it hurts.

This.

A car should rarely be seen as an investment.

Want a luxury car? Buy a used one that's 2-3 years old. I've purchased $80k+ vehicles for $35k that were 2 years old and in immaculate condition. In a few years, they were worth under $10k.

Enjoy whatever you buy, but never go into it to get a ROI.

My '21 GTPE received a 35k trade-in offer from Rivian a few days ago. No way I'll take it. I'm glad I have Ford Options, at least I know the floor is 24k for 2 more years.
The 50% loss of value in just 2 years makes me think twice before purchasing the Rivian R1S - even with a 20k discount it may not be worth it for me. At least I am confident Ford will be around in 2 years..

I really feel like the situation is “you buy a MME, you keep it”.

And you pay tax on it?

I agree with this. I did buy mine used...2021 with under 10K miles on it and got it for 38K. It is basically brand new. I didn't want a Tesla. Buying something else comparable new would've cost me 20 to 30K more. I'm paying it down quickly and will drive it for at least 3 years...maybe longer as I watch EVs evolve some more. I had zero expectation of it retaining a ton of residual value...that's just the way cars work, they are NOT an investment, they are a tool to get you from A to B. This is a car forum that ostensibly has people who are into cars and have owned cars a long time...I'm just surprised that this news to this crowd.

 

[phidauex]

I'm still amazed that people are surprised by this - these are the normal depreciation rates for used cars, and there is going to be a temporary decrease in offered trade in amounts because interest rates are higher and people may have fewer options.

I'll also point out the economics basics that the value of something isn't what someone offers, it is what the market clears at. If someone offers me less than what the value is to me, I don't sell, because, by definition, the "value" is higher than the offer. So watching trade-in offers to try to assess value is always going to give you a lower number - you should only be looking at completed sales.

I do intend to keep my MachE, but on the Ford Options loan, I have an opportunity next year to give it back instead of paying my balloon payment. Will watch and see what things look like at that time.

And you pay tax on it?

I'm not sure what you are asking...

I'm not paying for it. They don't get the tax credit from my understanding because they are an S Corp. I'm not the tax expert so I'm just going based on what they told me.
