Seattle/PNW E-Ride Out

[Mantooth]

Out again this morning. Got a lot of attention at Griot’s in Tacoma.

Sir Mix-A-Lot was there and liked it!

Met Sir Mix-A-Lot once at a casino where my friend worked. Seemed like a chill guy.

Anybody on the forum in a red MME heading east on I-90 through Issaquah this morning? My wife caught it while we were heading west. She’s seen two other Mach E’s now, other one was grey. No sightings for me so far, just been lonely me out on the road grabbing stares and comments.

We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune! ?? So far we have a Leavenworth suggestion in the box. Hubs and I took a drive out to Camano Island today and that was fun too! So any place fun, photogenic and charger riche! ?

I drive around Kent/Renton/Bellevue/wherever pretty much every night...and I'm not burning dead dinosaurs to do it!

Took a trip out to Camano Island, but left the pups at home. When we got back, the bossy one jumped in the car and refused to get out until I took her for a quick trip around the block.

She loves to go for a drive

My wife commented that your car matches our bird with that red stitching.

That carbon gray really does look nice.

Not quite as flashy as some, but it really catches the light beautifully.

I placed my order last month, maybe I’ll take delivery before summers end? These photos are making the wait agonizing!

Based on what I'm seeing in here, it seems like output may be picking up a bit! ?

I wouldn't write off Kirkland Ford at all. They've been one of the best dealers I've worked with in some time. And for what it's worth, I'm keeping my deposit and deal with them and looking forward to taking delivery this late spring.

Let me know if you want me to post my contact's info here, as I said above, he's been really great to work with.

Agree to disagree on this. If you have one on order and they have the exact car that was abandoned by someone else, and the dealer would rather take advantage of a new customer than to fulfill your order now. Not the customer loyalty I am looking for. I had quite the conversation with Justin from Kirkland and George from Evergreen. I have purchased 4 from Evergreen and 1 from Kirkland. I will not be frequenting either again unless I have no choice but to use them. For now I think Autonation or Bickford in the future.

Talk about an ADM (“Market Value Adjustment”) from a Seattle area Ford dealer (Evergreen Ford):

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium First Edition Awd
View Vehicle Details

This is basically the one that I have on order. When I asked George (salesman) to convert my order to this abandoned one they came back with that BS price of 67k. F'em. They are dead to me now. For years, I thought I was building up a loyalty that was obviously not there. I am so ready for the amazon model of buying cars in the future.

I am flying out Monday to pick up a FE that I scored from a dealer that isn't charging ADM, in fact they are honoring X-Plan on the deal.

Lehto covered it today (21) Ford Makes Dealer Remove Absurd Mark Up on Mach-E - Ep. 7.354 - YouTube

I think he has some facts off on it, but interesting to see his take as well
