    One percent transaction tax is proposed

    President Obama's finance team is recommending a transaction tax. His plan is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar. This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution i.e. Banks, Credit Unions, etc.. Any deposit you make, or move around within your account, i.e. transfer to, will have a 1% tax charged. If your pay check or your social Security or whatever is direct deposit, 1% tax charged. If you hand carry a check in to deposit, 1% tax charged. If you take cash in to deposit, 1% tax charged. This is from the man who promised that if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn.

     

    Some will say aw it's just 1%... remember once the tax is there they can raise it at will.

    Where is my Truck???

    in Ford Employee Forum

    Posted

    I have ordered a new 2011 f350 back on July 15 and I still don't have it , I don't even have VIN yet, the dealer keeps telling me that he was told they weren't building it because they are too many diesel to build so it could be another 8 weeks. I have the order number, If anyone could help me find out what going on that would be great because I am thinking of getting a truck from another company.

    Sounds to me that your dealer does not have an allocation for the truck you want. Contact another dealer in your area and tell them the situation.

    spacer.gifTo:All Ford DealersSubject:EFC0202316DC 2012 Boss Mustang Allocation Strategyspacer.gifThe New Boss 302 is back after a 40 year hiatus. This no-nonsense enthusiast track car is built for the street with the race track as its lab. The 2012 Mustang Boss 302 is set to become the best-handling Mustang ever offered by Ford.

     

    This purpose built vehicle is available in two trims for a limited run --Boss 302 & Boss 302 "Laguna Seca" package featuring a 440 HP Hi-Po 302 V8 Engine.

     

    Methods for Earning Allocation

     

    All Ford dealers will have the opportunity to earn a 2012 Boss 302 Mustang. There are two methods for earningx allocation:

     

    1) Share of Nation

     

    Sweet car

     

    • Approximately 75% of the 2012 Boss 302 production will be allocated to the Ford dealers as a Share of Nation
    • Those dealers that sell 75% of the retail Mustangs will participate in the Share of Nation allocation (retail Mustang sales % of Nation) -- through July, this is the Top 794 Mustang dealers
    • 12 months of sales (October '09 - September '10) will be used to determine dealers participating in the Share of Nation. A dealers opportunity to increase share of nation allocation or inclusion in the Top 75% is increased with each Mustang sold through the end of September
    • Each of the dealers participating in the Share of Nation is guaranteed at least one Boss 302

    2) Lottery

     

    • Those Ford dealers not participating in the Share of Nation will be entered into a Lottery for the balance of the allocation
    • Each dealership participating in the Lottery will receive one chip (entry into the lottery) for being a dealer and one chip for each retail sale over the 12-month period (October '09 - September '10)
    • Those dealers with ZERO Mustang sales over the last 12-month period will each receive one chip in the lottery
    • No dealer will earn more then one Boss 302 through the lottery

    Note: The Laguna Seca Package will be allocated by a second lottery for all dealers earning a Boss 302 through Share of Nation or Lottery.

     

    To help manager customer expectations for ordering the 2012 Boss 302 Mustang, all 2011 MY dealer production guides will be communicated in early October. Dealers will be given their full year guide numbers along with the quarter(s) their unit(s) will be scheduled. This will enable dealers to manage customer expectations regarding availability and timing. Production is scheduled to begin in late January and will conclude in December 2011.

     

    Since it's unveiling on August 13th, the 2012 Boss Mustang has created a tremendous amount of excitement amongst our dealers and customers. It is our hope that this allocation strategy will support your efforts in providing customers with a clear understanding of this new and exciting best in class product.

    Electronics package

    in Mustang Forum

    Posted

    I'm tempted to get the electronics package on my 2011, but at $2400 it seems like an awful lot. Does this thing do anything more than what an aftermarket integrated screen gps/dvd unit would do?

     

    Has anyone here experienced Ford's integrated GPS/Satellite radio/CD/DVD player? Whats your opinion on it?

    The weather map is sweet!

    "In transit" is way too general. That could also simply mean it is going to another ramp to be sent through the upfitter to get additional production stuff.

     

    Thanks for all that you do. My dealer is not interested in helping--I like my salesperson and my dealer but they are so large and I am just one person.

     

    Now CS has the dreaded "Awaiting shipment" tag on my car. I guess if I am on your first page tomorrow I'll get another update, if things have changed that is.

     

     

    Thank you for helping all of us.
