Mach-E GTPE just arrived

[Bodyshopguy]

Totally worth the wait... Ordered in October 2021... Super Cool... Super Fast... MagneRide suspension... much better that the Premium, I test drove. I have some feedback on financing and delivery... Most importantly... let them know... Do not install the front plate... they literally drilled holes in the front bumper... they should have asked me first but, they claim that I ordered online in the purchase... glad I own a body shop... 2nd... I've heard about dealerships charging a mark up on the MSRP. In fact, the dealership planned on adding $ 1,000.00. However, when the car arrived, I financed the car through the Ford site, same I ordered the car through. I chose the balloon payment option... I ended up with $ 2,750.00 in discounts, they applied my $ 1,000.00 deposit and I will still get the $ 7,500.00 tax credit. I did not lease the car... the pay off at the end of 3 years will be $ 33,000.00. I'm sure the car will be worth more than that... if I choose to sell it. I did not pay a dealer mark-up... and they car is just amazing... all these reviews on the Mach-e are disappointing. Ford has made a statement and you better hurry... I would not have bought this car without the almost $ 10,000.00 in savings.

Congrats! In CA a front plate is required, so YOU have to tell them not to do it. Some dealers will ask you, but most will just do it. I told my dealer if they drill holes I won't buy the car. They made sure everyone knew not to put a front plate on. Always have to be proactive, especially when the delivery checklist states to install the front license plate...

Make sure you do the Clean Vehicle Rebate for some extra cash and get your carpool decals!

After you plastic weld those holes, you can put a license plate wrap over the repair. It is fully legal under a pilot program in California. https://licenseplatewrap.com/

Welcome to the club. Best of luck with your new ride.

Can't wait for my Shadow Black GT!

Knock on wood, but so far I've never been pulled over for not having a front plate here in California. I've been harassed after the fact while driving my Camaro SS, but I keep it in the car and they usually just give me a warning.

Or do this:

Clean Air Decal... do they come with the registration or do you order them separately? and yes, 750.00 of the discounts was the clean air...

 

[HuntingPudel]

Clean air decals are extra in CA. I don’t want them on my car so I didn’t pay for them.

Clean Vehicle Rebate is different, you have to submit an application, see below:

HOV Decals you have to also apply and send $22 to the DMV, see below:

I asked my dealer not to install the front plate here in Cali, they said they legally have to and can not sell me the car without them installing the front plate. Even asked if they could velcrow it on until we leave the lot they said no
