Goodbye Rapid Reds! A couple of weeks ago, traded in my very early 2021 CaRT1, 25,000 miles over 3 years for a late September build 2022 Grabber Blue GTPE with magneride, great stereo, and very comfortable seats (as a retirement gift to myself). So, about 2 years younger car and model...
The clamps that came with the charger. Then I reinstalled the plastic pieces so no one can touch the clamps by accident. I put the connector up next to the WW fluid fill for access, as shown in my photo.
We will see. I received a call today from the Dealer. They are going to send my salesman 30 miles and exchange my car for a loaner. He will drive my car back to the Dealer and they will work on getting the updates completed for as long as it takes! Also, this past week I receive 2 notices...
They paid off my 4 yr Options contract (1 year early - next week is my 3 year anniversary), balance at over $27k on my CR1. Sale price was about $50k, with 2022 sticker showing $72,410. Still seems like a decent deal even allowing for 2023 models selling at about $5k to $10k below Sticker...
They spent about 5 hours, not 10. I now have that message: "Drive Mode Not Available", so that was at least one they missed. For the "About Sync" option - is that on the car rather than FordPass?
Thanks for your PM offer @Hammered! Sent VIN.
This was a cancelled order from the end of the 2022 model year (build date Sept 2022), had been at the dealership a little over a year, had 210 miles on it. They started the software updates early in the morning, gave me the car before lunch, but the main screen would not turn on. I was told...
Right, I figure a more sensible estimate of the "discount" is about $5k, since I got the price down closer to $50k. I checked out the listing for $42k and a few other used GTPE within 100 miles, found that I have a strong preference for "new" vs low miles, even if that may be a bit irrational...
And, I may regret not keeping my 2021 CaRT1! Thanks for your comment! I don't like losing about 15% of the range/efficiency that I am used to. But this GTPE has much more comfortable seats and the ride did seem a bit smoother during my test drive. With the PE features, such as the B&O sound...
6% APR, down covers CA sales tax. So, I guess you are saying a GTPE, or any MME for that matter, is not worth the $$, even when discounted over $20k. Thank you for expressing your opinion and explaining your comment.
Yes, you are correct about the option to walk away at the end of the contract a year from now. In this instance I can walk away now, and purchase a GTPE at a reduced price. That is a good way to think of this! I can walk away a year early at no cost. I should be looking at this as 2 separate...
Good comments, @Mach1E. The savings off the 2022 MSRP started at $20,000 this morning. Then they offered a trade in value of $0 net on my 2021 that I appear to be about $4k upside down based on my estimates. This happens because of the Ford Options with low payments that result in a $16k...
Thanks for your thoughts, @AKgrampy. They are discounting this last 2022 in their inventory about 25% under MSRP. The 2023 units are being discounted by Ford about 4% ($3000). I cannot take the $7500 tax credit on either year, nor on the 2024. The 2024 may have a new, longer range battery...
Getting my recalls all taken care of on my 2021 CaRT1, saw a loaded 2022 GTPE at the dealer with a discount sticker on the windshield. I have been thinking about the magenride suspension and other nice features of the GT and my Ford financing is coming to a close soon on my 2021, with a big...
Yes, it has been to the dealer twice in the last year, both times the dealer said I had it now, but both times, the BC screen failed to come up for me. I have had the blue bubble for quite a while, which has proved beneficial for long trips. The next service, I will specifically ask about the...
I just read that use of Tesla SC costs $0.68/kWh, about 50% above the already high priced Electrify America rate, but comparable to the price of gasoline at $6 per gallon (don't know what mileage they used in the calculation, but could probably calculate it if I cared). At that price, a Tesla...
