I had a 2021 Red MachE First Edition and loved it … but my friendly dealer called with deals - and 0% for 6 years?! My car had 55K miles and was still in great condition. My driver seat had started to tear again (https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...ling-after-13k-miles.25448/page-3#post-589166), had popping coming from my front strut that was scheduled to be fixed next week, another noise coming from the back and I also had some plastic cracking around the on driver door open button and the PRNDL spindle was also cracking… all minor things and SOH was 92%.

So I did it, upgraded to the 2023 Gray GT, and man … that speed increase is nice!! A few minor differences through the car, but largely the same, which is nice - it feels like an iPhone 14 to 15 update - but with a new car smell. This was basically a performance increase, battery swap, warranty extension, Bluecruise renewal and minor issue fix all rolled up in one purchase. And the seats are suede now - that’s a nice add, hopefully these won’t tear.

Love my MachEs!

Ain't life grand? ?

I recently made my first payment.
It was nice to see

Payment amount: $xxx.xx
Principle amount: $xxx.xx
Interest amount: $0

I'm sorry that manufacturers are struggling to make a profit on their EV startups. But are we supposed to just pass on the opportunity? Lol

I did that same trade up a couple of years ago, when the used car market went crazy and I got what I paid for the FE back after 8000 miles. I have no regrets, it was a great trade-up. Congratulations!

I swapped a 21 select for a 23 GT!
What an upgrade!

I paid the same out the door price, just 30 months later and 214 HP MORE!
