Ford drops price of Mach-e by up to $8100

[brownsl]

You still need to meet the income requirement for the $7500 credit on leases, correct?

Also, do we think these price cuts will happen to the 2024s? Hopefully so.

it's hard to imagine the same discounts on the 24's till the 23's are sold. Longer term, my crystal ball says, that the EV price war will keep the MME, EV6, Ioniq 5/6, Model Y, ID4 etc in the mid to high 40's for the volume trims. The cars are too similar to be priced $15K apart.

Stand by for de-contenting...

The leasing company gets the $7500. You do not have any requirements other than a good credit raring.

No.

I did not know that. Thanks for the info. I have never leased a vehicle before. I will need to look into it.

And Tesla also makes cars in the US, albeit with a labor cost that's structured better.

Translation: No unions at Tesla.

It's hard to imagine them even producing '24s until the '23s are sold...

A new GT with Bluecruise is less than $2,000 cheaper than when I took delivery of my '21 GT with Bluecruise.

~$65,500 MSRP - $7,500 tax credit = $58,000 in Dec 2021
$56,795 with today's pricing.

These are painful adjustments for anyone who paid at the peak of the price increases or significant markup, but otherwise I'm not overly concerned relative to what I ended up paying.

Isn't BlueCruise now a $2100 option on a Job 2?

That, but also that many accept less in salary to get stock instead. Which was a boon for them. But at some point that stock price won't keep soaring. Go through a few consecutive years of declines and they'll start getting antsy and want more salary.

But is it more? My balloon is $24k. I don't think I can buy one for less than that.

When is your balloon payment due because if it is not soon you don't know where used values will go?

Next month.

Next month.

Yep, you should be good then.

Hard to imagine, but I’ve seen it before.

When cars sell slowly, prices drop. It’s just how things work.

In 2016, I bought a leftover 2015 Chevy SS for 25% off MSRP. Price seemed almost too good to be true.

And then 2 months later Chevy offered 25% off MSRP on all 2016s. And they ran that promo for the rest of the year.

And then they ceased production a year later, as one would expect with a model selling so poorly that it has to be heavily discounted to move them.

Let's hope the Mach-E doesn't meet the same fate. Not sure if they'll find a way out of this $$ hole in time though.

In terms of timing, you might be right... but BYD already has a bus plant in Mexico and the Chinese car makers move at a speed that is hard to imagine in Europe and the US.

FYI - BYD ebuses are already in use around the Anaheim Resort area..... and a bus & coach manufacturing facility (that's unionized) here in Lancaster, CA: https://en.byd.com/bus/
