May sell the Mach-E...

[RickMachE]

You're all selling too low. Should be $60k+.

It all depends on your situation as to what to do. Expect very long waits/possible supply issues (removed features) with anything you order as well, but it doesn't sound like you are in a rush so that gives you flexibility if you don't need the MME.

If this market is as hot as now for many more years, we could definitely see selling the Mach-E ourserves for the Macan EV whenever that's released, probably more fully loaded and hopefully, with a lot more range than the Taycan.

Is that what you ended up getting for yours?

I have not sold mine yet. I have an offer from a dealer 5 hours away, who will come and get it, for $61,000. He upped it to that yesterday. I am holding out for more at this point. Prices are going UP, not down. Every service I've priced it with (Driveway, CarGurus, etc.) except for Carvana has gone UP since mid-May in their offers (Carvana is unchanged).

I see my offering as unique, because I have an assumable 0.9% loan. 4 year car loans are now around 3.25%. If you do the math, a vehicle at $61,600, financed for 4 years at 3.25% would have higher monthly payments than mine, and cost more over 4 years. For a private buyer, this is a great deal. I came close yesterday, guy wanted it but wife said no. He hasn't given up, but she was very firm. I have another one begging for permission to buy it. Wife hasn't given a decision yet.

While the offer sounds tempting, you're going to be trying to replace a vehicle in an inflated, low inventory market. Trying to find an on-lot, no-ADM car in any of the EV brands is going to be very tough, but best of luck to you

I agree with your decision. It's a personal choice and the market is expanding. I have gone back and forth with it as well.

I sold a Select and upgraded to a Fully Optioned Premium AWD ER Job 2 in December. I have had an offer for Sticker price for it with 12K for nearly $57K too. If it was $60K I may have to consider it again.

But I cannot replace it and the 2023's are over $64K for the same car. I also have mounted balanced snows that worked great and a set of Mounted CA Rte 1 Wheels/tires. So that's over $2K worth of tires. At this rate I will never have to buy any for 80-100K.

As a matter of fact, all EVs are going up in cost too (although not many are talking about it). I thought about an AWD ICE/Hybrid but with fuel costs, they will end up costing equal or more, unless I go with a AWD beater and just pay for gas. Convincing the wife to drive a beater and put gas in a car will not be good after having two reliable new cars. We have two EVs and have not been to a gas station in over 12 months.

So I decided to hang onto it. It's been 100% reliable, free charging for 90% of my driving, from work, and very few others around. I just make my monthly payments, wash it and drive it. After reaching a confirmed 300+ miles of Range this last week, and holding true, I have no complaints. Yes I got 160-190 miles all Winter and it was a Cold one. Expected 33%-40% range drop during a very cold winter is what I knew going into it. The surprise was -5F, no preheat, no warm up, no battery conditioning, out for a 100 mile round trip, the actual range was 138 miles! Not shocked, it was a worst case scenario that I tested. I did not drive it to Zero battery. Plenty of heat in the car under all conditions.

Enjoy your replacement when it comes!

I got a quote a few weeks ago from Driveway for over $56k for my 21 Premium AWD sr with 7k miles. If that offer is still the same in the next few weeks I’ll probably take it since all in after $2500 ADM, dealer fee, TTL I’d only “lose” about $800.

I'm hoping I have good luck on quotes towards the end of the year/early next year since I've thrown my hat in the ring for a Cadillac Lyriq. I have a premium sr rwd with under 3k miles.

When or IF my number comes up for a Lightning I may sell.

IF that happens I'll take the best offer and bank that along with my current monthly payment (I can live without a car for as long as it takes to build) for the down payment on the Lightning.

I just purchased my 2022 SR RWD Premium about a month ago. All in I paid $55K. I got an offer from Carvana for $61K. $6K profit along with the tax credit makes it tempting to sell the car but I have no idea what I would be able to get next. The Mach-E is my favorite EV at its price point.

Since last month my quote from Driveway went up $1000! If gas prices continue to rise I feel the used EV market will stay high. I’m saving money vs my payment on a 2013 Outback and fuel costs.

The big issue selling in this market is you will then have to buy in this market.

I was able to luckily find a Porsche Taycan at $95,290 MSRP with all the options I was looking for + $2k ADM - which isn't bad because this is a February order back when the car was cheaper as Porsche increased the base Taycan by $4k, so this car would have been $99,230 if ordered today (I essentially am "saving" $2k by going with this one and it arrives August!)

I just placed a deposit for a $97,290 Porsche Taycan which retails at $99,230 - since this was a customer order that cancelled and this was ordered before Porsche increased the price - so it can happen! I got very lucky

the only other EV that looks just as great at this price point would be the BMW i4 eDrive40

I checked it out too, with the intent of buying a new GT or just another premium. With everything avalable locally at a 5k to 10k premium over MSRP I don't think the time is right for me. I may check again when the 2023 model ordering opens up.

I did check vroom, driveways d a few others
The best offer was $57800 for a 2021 premium AWD extended battery with 17k miles.

One other thing to consider tax is expensive. In MN where I live you only pay sales tax on the trade difference. So even of a trade in offer is a little less it may be an advantage.

Also a Minnesotan. I have about 25k on my Mach e GT. I'm a realtor and drive like crazy and right now with gas prices this seems like one of the smartest moves I could have made.

Anyway, that tex credit is huge for me as 1099 contractor. I have thought about seeing if I can find another Mach e or other new EV, but I'm in the same boat. The markups are now huge and make any benefit I would get a wash.

Also, what would I get? The EV6 is nice, but doesn't have the same appeal looks wise and I feel like everything else is months out or wayyyyyyy expensive MSRP

Inver Grove ford has a GTPE but they want 10k over MSRP. It's ice blue with tech package and glass roof
