Buying a house and a mortage shouldn't be too bad.

Credit on cards is where you have real trouble.

How do you know your credit rating is bad?

Wondering if anyone knows the answer to this question I've got. So I've ordered my MME on finance and it states that if the car doesn't arrive within 90 days, they have to do another credit check. I assume they've only done a soft credit check until now? It says finance approved but the thing is, since I got approved, my credit rating is severely dropped (I bought a new house & got a mortgage), so now I'm not sure that I'll be approved if they have to review my finance application.

Which means I've waiting all this time for nothing ?
If you applied for finance through Ford Credit then they would have done a hard search on your credit report. They did for mine. However, if they do another it shouldn't have a detrimental effect because it will be the same company doing another search. Having a mortgage for your main home doesn't affect credit score unless you are in arrears. A second mortgage, say for a buy to let house, would. My report doesn't mention my main mortgage but it did when I had a second one.

I had an average credit score late last year - £15k+ on the cards (zero %)

I paid them off in preparation for an credit applications and now my credit score is 999 out of a possible 999 score.

and I have a very big mortgage.

Some of the 'Comments' on the review are quite brutal. Amazing how nasty some people can get about a brand.
Yep. I’ve taken to avoiding the comments sections on these types of articles for that very reason.
Much easier on my blood pressure as well!?

after you said that I went and looked! thank god for free speech that people can say what they like from their plain and dull cars! People just don't like change. It's not a mustang apparently like they are some great authority over how a brand develops.

I have just looked at the Grimaldi schedule. Grande Houston's has changed and she is now planned to go to Southampton after Antwerp. I wonder ???????
That is exciting. Is that for sure?

Also just been reading a discussion about the frunk elsewhere, someone has said it will have electronic opening in the UK and Europe (while it doesn't in the USA), can anyone verify this? Would be super useful.

That is what the latest schedule says, but as is usual with shipping schedules it is subject to change. All I know is that yesterday she wasn't going to Southampton after Antwerp and today she is

It's all a bit of an unknown - the UK Owners Manual contradicts itself over this (and many other things)

We won't know for sure until somebody gets one delivered. :)

I looked at the Owner's Manual in the Ford App and it shows a picture of a key with a 'Frunk' button and says 'press twice to open'. I was hoping this would be correct. Looks like it might be!

he must already go through New York, surely arriving in Antwerp not before the end of the month

Yes - and as I've said probably seven or eight times now in this thread - the manual states ....

but also says this:

So at the risk of repeating myself for a tenth time - we cannot conclusively say how the frunk will work until a Customer Production model arrives here, and someone gets to try it out!
