Folks,
Are there any Boston–Portsmouth area owners here who can recommend a dealer they've had a positive experience with? The nearest dealer to me is Autofair in Haverhill, MA. (Mass rules say I have to buy at a dealer within the state).
Been looking seriously at buying an electric, and specifically the Mach-e, for a couple of years now. Ready to pull the trigger. I am concerned about how the orders are tied to dealerships. I have ready a few posts here that indicate that some dealers mess with the price. With Ford cranking up the prices for 2023, this is even more concerning. I'm trying to stay under the $55k cap for Federal and state incentives. Or does this count as an SUV and qualify under the incentive for those, up to $80,000? Either way, I want AWD and a long-range battery. I have access to "X-plan" through my employer. I am interested if anyone can say if that improved their purchase experience?
I've never owned a Ford, and my only experience is checking out a Flex in 2011… and feeling like an absolute minnow in a shark tank as soon as someone started talking to us at a dealer in Medford. We left before even test driving, and got a Honda instead. If prices and dealer experience don't line up, my next hope is an ID.4, when the Chattanooga batch start selling.
Bonus: if anyone has an stories to share specific to buying your Mach-e in Massachusetts (rebates, charging, etc) I'd love to hear them, I've been searching through and reading this forum for a few weeks now. I have never even test drove a Mach-e. I did just complete a week road trip with a Model Y, so I have some real world experience with electrics in general.
