Did t they extend the warranty coverage on those engines for coolant intrusion?

Ahh….nothing more than a doa battery and they forgot to reset the Battery Management System. No worries at all. Just FYI the term buy back implies Lincoln bought it back but it sounds like the customer just traded it in on something else which is completely different.

I know, right? I can’t wait to post this in the EV haters forums where they’ve declared that nobody is buying EVs any more.

I thought the NY show was done by corporate but I know most of the smaller shows are done by local dealers not Ford corporate.

It’s a dealer thing but they should be willing to share it with you in a case like this. If they won’t show it to you - Run Away!!

Or some guy on GMI that likes to assimilate people…..

Seems to me most folks looking to replace 3-4 yr old vehicles would have leased them anyway. What I don’t understand is people who are upside down either on cars or homes just walking away. You only lose money if you sell. Just keep the vehicle or house and you’ll eventually catch up without trashing your credit score.

That explains why they didn’t include it at launch.

I wouldn’t be completely shocked either but I think it’s likely because: Ford reps have said it’s coming Tacoma still has it They added a third shift so they’re expecting more volume including at least some fleet sales

No not even close.

I’d consider one if it came as a Supercab with a 6’ bed at MSRP. Probably wouldn’t pay an ADM though.

Tesla only started to make a profit on auto sales when they raised prices during Covid, sometimes as much as $8K. With all these price cuts it will be interesting to see how they fare profit wise.

The question is where are you in your dealer’s order queue and what is the priority? There are commodity holds on parts all the time not just during Covid although most are short term and your dealer has all those details.

Exactly. Auto stop start is intermittent anyway based on battery charge and other factors. Ask to see an Oasis report. That will show all the service calls.

You must be mistaken. Teslas are the epitome of luxury vehicles……. 😂😂😂

No because std deduction reduces your taxable income not your actual taxes.

Garbage……. 😂 I know a few edge owners with 250k+ on the original pump. Regular coolant changes help a lot.

Yes. Those are the actual taxes you pay. But some people who do withholding get confused about taxes vs refunds. E.g. You earned $100k and when you calculate your taxes you owe the govt $20K for the year. If your employer only withheld $18k during the year you owe an additional $2k when you file. If your employer withheld $22K during the year you get a $2K refund. In both cases you paid $20k. And the $7500 rebate would reduce that to $12,500. So if your employer withheld exactly $20k and you claim the full $7500, you only owe $12,500 and would get a $7500 refund.

Precisely. And you can’t claim the other $7000 later. You get the $500 credit and that’s it. So in that case if you told the dealer you were eligible for $7500 and got the $7500 credit on your purchase, you now owe the government $7000. And again this is based on taxes you owe for the year not based on how much you have to pay or get back when you file.

At this point it’s a crap shoot. The thing to ask is given the slow down in EV sales do they have the ability to compete and make money or were they dependent on an explosion of EV sales?

But those are external. I don’t think I’ve heard of water pump failures on I4 ecoboosts before. Interesting. Did you change the coolant?

I should also point out that taxes owed means how much you owe the govt in taxes for the year. Not how much you have to pay or get back when you file the return which is based on withholding.

No no no. It doesn’t change the amount of credit you get. Think of it like a payday loan. Govt loans you $7500 and you have to eligible for and claim the entire $7500 on your subsequent return. If not you must pay back the difference. Let’s say you ask for the $7500 credit on a new purchase, but come tax time you only have $4K in taxes owed. You can only claim the $4K credit and you have to pay back the extra $3500. Or worse - you get the credit but don’t qualify for any of it at tax time. You have to pay back the entire $7500. It only changes the timing of when you get the credit not the amount. And it’s still based on your taxes owed for that year.

Go for it if you can afford it.
