Surprise!

[portlandg]

Even Vehicle Visibility isn't perfect. A couple of hours before my car was delivered, VV still showed it in Wilmington, DE, without even showing it had been unloaded from the rail car. That would have even really odd as the rail car was three states away by then! The next day VV updated to delivered.

In this age of bar codes, Internet, ota updates and fast data transfer you would have thought that every time a car was scanned it would instantly update all the necessary places so that it was real-time monitored. Nice that it told you that your car has been delivered the day after.

Just came back from the dealer. Woke up to a gloomy day overcast with expected rain. When we left to the dealership, the sun came out and looked bright. We arrived to find the car in a separate bay, all shinny and ready for delivery. It looked terrific. I have to say it presents better than the pictures.

According to a manager, when it arrived, they assumed it was the dealerships demo. Looking further they determined that it was a premium and could not be the demo. A check of the vin# confirmed that it was mine. Thus the SURPRISE!

We went out for a test drive. It handles great. Pickup is stunning. I didn’t really nail it but could feel the power. I was impressed. Going to need some time to actually assess but for now I am satisfied. Paperwork, paperwork. Oh, did I say paperwpork and then some. There was a minor amount of up sell, but not too bad. I didn’t protest. i inquired about the price reduction and was informed that it did not apply. Also asked about the MCOA discount but no luck. I never knew about it till last night. Now for the good news. Ford has special rates for financing. The rates are 0.9% over 48 months, 1.9% over 60 months or 2.9% for 72 months. We took the 48.

All in all it was a good day, other than the weather.

Will try to update tomorrow. GOOD LUCK to all. I hope the next day will be your SURPRISE.

Love the picture and have fun!

Congrats! I reserved on launch and ordered at the end of June and I had the same build date, and I am just down the road (ordered with Mullinax in Lake Park). Dealer said expect it 10 days before or after estimated 3/4 delivery date, so hoping for some good luck soon.

That's a beautiful color! I was thinking about that but didn't think it would pop! If it looks as good in person, I'm rethinking my color. Very sharp!

next time With the Ducatis

I wrote three paragraphs yesterday but when I loaded the two pics it wiped out all of it. Only got the pictures. If you are posting, you might want to post the written portion first so you don’t lose it and then go back for the picture.

BTW, the color is magnificent, it is much better in person. It has subtle blue highlights. I was very worried as I had picked the color sight unseen.

It's a great color in sunny environs, like yours. Not so great here in dreary Michigan LOL
