✅ 11/14 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[cwstnsko]

NW Arkansas. Mainly the softer trade in market. When I ordered I was able to justify the increased price because my trade was worth way more. Now that’s not the case. Higher rates are a factor too. Full tax credit was very appealing but at the end of the day the numbers just did not work out.

Since the time I placed my order in September, until now, my trade value dropped about 30%. Luckily, it wasn't a major component of my deal, and I was able to get part of that value back by selling the car to another dealer across town instead of trading it. The used car market in general has really dropped, but for my car, it had been unrealistically high for a while, so it has just come back down to reasonable. I can't complain too much, we put 36000 miles on that car in the last 2.5 years and it we still got a couple thousand less than we bought it for.

Weather was kinda terrible and we didn't get home until well after dark. The wait was long but worth it!

Mine just showed up at the dealership! Too bad I can't go pick it up before Friday.

Dealer says mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Said it's not 100% sure, but means I should have it by Thursday at the latest. Got final approval for my credit union loan (4.74%, which thankfully locked on 11/30 since rates went up another point on 12/1). Trying not to think about at the beginning of the year what could have been.

lol which dealer? There are three austin builds here. I have a 2022 being shipped in and the 2023 sitting in san antonio. First one here gets picked up. Covert.

I was at MacHaik. Trade in negotiations were fun but overall a smooth experience.

Good luck with Covert! I hope they don't pull any shenanigans with you.

Oof. Covert is the scummiest Ford dealer in town. Last I saw they were charging a $5K ADM on orders. Have you discussed price with them yet?

 

[Lightning&Thunder]

no ADM on pre-orders, i do have to do some paint pro & bed liner which I was fine with doing.

Thanks for the photos, and congrats on delivery! But - eeks - is Mother Ford now using hotshotters for last mile transport???

It seems like most 11/14 built week have their car by now or in transit. Mine has not moved and is on chip hold and showing in production. Am I the only one left not getting a truck by now? I also spoke to the dealer yesterday and they said sometime Q1 of next year. Not happy about that since some later weeks seem to be getting their cars.

11am tomorrow. Truck is arriving on second load today, but they won't have enough time to inspect, charge, etc. before closing up today. Salesperson is going to send some pictures when it arrives. Super excited.
