smokin' deal Dad!

Those weren't my words, just captured from the car buying strategies site. Very possible there are no other markups outside Holdback and then potential MFR incentives (none of those right now though).

Man, $50,959 seems very good. Sorry for the detail, but here's what I'm seeing (hope this possibly helps anyone else): Data from https://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/2021/Ford/Explorer/ST-4WD/Pricing Invoice MSRP Base Price $50,501 $52,605 Destination Fee $1,245 $1,245 Total Base Price...

Independently, I couple weeks ago I happen to reach out to a Maryland based dealer who had a great advertised deal. I asked what was up with that and he said there is tremendous competition in his "tri-state" area. So, clearly not all places are going to get the same price opportunities, but I...

Bkusk12 - what "ford incentives" are you getting? Yours looks like a very strong price and I hope the rest of lease terms are good for you.

I am in the market too, in Austin TX, and I'm not having much luck either. 2 weeks ago for a '21 $57,785 sticker, I was at $53,150 minus the $1250 Ford Finance incentive ($51900). I passed and now the Dealer has reneg'd on that one (that's another story....). Really motivated to buy but need...

thx!

Are the 21 models with mfr installed side rails considered "Flush" or "Raised"? Any opinions on cross rails? I'm looking at Thule Evo Wingbar vs. Rhino Rack Vortex Aero SX Thanks.

I've never had/enabled wifi in a car, so I'm looking for any input/experiences. With my limited research, I think I've seen that you can add auto hotspot service to an existing AT&T cellular plan - is it about $10 per month extra? And, what about capacity - I see the marketing material that...

I'm planning/hoping to get a deal completed during next week. I read somewhere that Ford (along with a few of MFRs) tend to announce "last minute" incentives in advance of the Pres Day weekend. That would be nice.

That was for a new 20, right? not 21?

Can you drive it first!!?? I recently found the "perfect" "new" 20 (with 900 miles), but driving it told me it was not perfect. Had a bit of low speed whirring sound on acceleration (like a used 4 banger from 1993) - ok, that's a bit extreme, it wasn't that bad, but it convinced me i wanted to...

WOW - I saw this the other day doing my initial test drives - I was shocked. I guess there aren't enough long term owners to comment on this yet. Can I assume it was a different material pre MY20?

Interesting... I'm getting ready to buy and did a few exploratory test drives. I experienced what I think you describe.... I'm coming from a BMW 535i... so assume this is just a result of a far less insulated cabin...

Based on history, if anyone knows, does FORD tend to do national Mfr incentives in February (for driving Pres Day sales)? That is, should I 'generally' expect to see more price movement in Feb as compared to end of Jan? I understand there may be some dealer here that needs to hit a quota for...
