Wow, and to think that a year ago I was going to sell my RWD select ($45K) and buy an AWD select ($50K sticker) good thing I sold the RWD and passed on the AWD... I can't with a clear conscious buy a vehicle for which the MSRP continues to drop regularly.
One thing is normal car depreciation, but drops in MSRP is a double whammy.

Seriously, what focus group told Ford "we want an off-road version of the Mach-E that will never actually see any off-roading"?

And that's being charitable, this isn't even an off-road vehicle. It's a "rally"...who the fuck has anywhere to rally a car? Some off-road trails, sure, but that's for rock-crawlers and water-waders like Broncos and Wranglers, etc. Who is flying around turns on these dirt roads and trails? I don't know about you, but I don't have a "closed course - do not attempt" near me lol

Because 2024. 🤷‍♂️

For sure this will put downward price pressure on leftover 2023s even more.
That's true. I pay mine off next month, might be time for a new one.. but, like tires, I'm not in a hurry to replace it(them) as they are doing fine.

I have enough cans of black plasti-dip if you want them, making black another choice :). I was going to do my FFE's wheels but that'd be a nightmare to try to clean.

Yup, considering this car is our primary vehicle used all over New England, into Maine and Canada year round I would opt for a Rally Package over a Performance package, front spoiler and summer tires are more of a hindrance for our use.

Hopefully it can do doughnuts better than the first guy here who tried and broke their car!
Yeah those kind of kinks should be worked out by now.

Last year bought a Ford Bronco, drove it a little bit and sold it for profit, same with a Corvette C8.
My long term/forever hold is a 2015 Jeep wrangler rubicon, bought new for ~$40K with takes, after nine years/100K, it's probably worth ~$20K-$25K... that's a depreciation I can stomach.
Next month I'll buy a Ford Maverick AWD 2.0L ecoboost, great value at ~$27.5K sticker

I loved my Mach-e, great commuter car, especially can charge for free at work, but not willing to burn that amount of money in such a short time.

Just ordered our Rally.
Well that's interesting..... I better check in with my sales guy to see if he can order for me. There isn't an order guide out yet with the GT or Rally yet, correct?

Pricing - MSRP or less?
