I am in Texas, so my soft top advice really isn't great because climate plays a definite factor. However....I love it, no complaints. I hand wash with a power washer and TRY to get water to go through the seams and it never does.
My only real concern on a daily basis is theft or cutting, so I...
^ This. Economically, it probably makes more sense to just replace the back panel. The rivet method is great, but if I get a new back panel out of it then so be it. My tabs seem fine though, I am pretty careful with my panels.
I mean, capitalism? But it is important to remember that we don't know the specifics of everyone's situation. Maybe they had to buy another vehicle while they waited or had a financial turn. They would be stupid (really stupid) to not buy it and flip it, demand being what it is. The dealer would...
@Bscholl8 Nice, love the steelies. I'll be in the black 4DR squatched Badlands most likely with the top down unless there is rain in the forecast LOL :)
Just wanted to chime in and say after a loooong 18 months, Mac Haik Georgetown was true to their word when I picked up my Bronco yesterday. NO drama, NO F&I BS, in and out. I really appreciated that after so long. That's it!
5k + lbs vehicle vs maaaybe a 3k lbs vehicle. And vehicles are meant to crumple to absorb impacts. BMWs consistently have 5 star crash test ratings, the 3 series is no exception there.
8/15 build week with VIN assigned as of 7/29/22.
Reservation from 3/1/2021 (WHEW. 17 months to get a vin)
Badlands SAS, Shadow Black, HIGH, Soft Top, 2.7l, tow pkg.
I did buy a different vehicle in May. My old car was just not going to make it. I am very happy with the new vehicle. My broker...
Would anyone local to the Austin / Round Rock / Georgetown / PVille / Hutto / Cedar Park (... lol you get it) be interested in a Valkyrie Offroad front license plate relocation bracket kit? (made for modular steel bumper) LINK
I have one new in the box, it doesn't look like I will be using it...
@Gtown Bronco Hey there! No I haven't! Radio silence from Mac Haik GT. I actually had to go ahead and get another vehicle. Still have the Bronco res, maybe we'll still get it who knows.
The fact that you did all that and they so willingly agreed probably means it will work out for you, but here's the thing - if they did decide not to honor any of what you just mentioned, they could and none of it would matter. The dealer holds all the cards and as far as I am aware there has...
Well that was short lived! I just put down a reservation yesterday and cancelled it just now. Shortest Rivian reservation award?
I suppose its easy for me to eject with very little sunk time. While I can afford it, I have a rule about paying over a certain amount for a mere vehicle, although my...
My bronco image in the backdoor link FINALLY changed from a gray shadow outline to the ACTUAL picture of the build. And I am somehow happy about that LOL.
To rub it in I saw someone dropping the kids off at school today with my EXACT BUILD and color. Like...damn. So I have to look at that every...
@Draughon They would need to prove some sort of loss beyond the deposit. And if they gave the deposit back to you then....maybe the interest it would have gained or if you had some sort of catastrophic loss due to not having the vehicle....it would be some real Johnny Johnny Cochran stuff haha...
100% True. The average years of ownership of a vehicle in the USA in 2021 was 14 years. I am sure that is going to go up in '22 / '23 due to the current bubble market. Conversely, I remember my dad had owned EIGHT cars by the time I was in middle school. My oldest son is 11 and he's only known...
Hmm. While you need to vent on this situation, it would be easy for a lot of us that have been waiting well over a year with no end in sight to (rightfully) vent back at you. I can't tell you how awesome it would be to just have a VIN... but I digress.
I think a more constructive response is to...
