Can someone let me know what's best to get the lowest Apr for financing. I'm getting a wildtrak , it's prob going to be around 63k overall.
1. Putting 30k down, I only have 10k in debt all from student loans, current credit score is around 710.
Or
2. Put 20k down , pay off my 10k in debt, should def increase my credit score I would assume.

This is my first big purchase , I have relative young credit. I'm 27, business analyst , overall salary is around 125k. Can anyone let me know what I should do. Or will I get around the same
Apr no matter whether I do option 1 or 2? I have been driving the same car since I was a senior on highschool so I been waiting for a car to get my attention and the bronco definitely has. Also I'm a big kayaking person so that def helps .
Depends on your interest rate. I would put down as little as possible. Invest the rest or leave it in the bank. I’d rather pay a little extra every month and have 20k at my disposal. One you’ve given it to the bank or Ford, it’s gone. Credit union is the way to go.

Totally agree. If you get an interest rate of 2.5%. You could easily get a greater return by investing that money. Say a conservative 6% return on that investment. Putting 10K down on a depreciating asset would lower your monthly payment, but cost you 3.5%.

I’m in Massachusetts and he quoted today’s rates from First Citizens, one of the outside lenders they typically use. Of course those rates aren’t official until he runs my credit….which we didn’t want to do yet considering my Bronco hasn’t officially shipped yet. Your salesman should be able to ballpark some rates for you if you are trying to budget and such.
What MA dealer?

Got the email today at 2:02 pm. Almost had to go home early and this ain’t even my Bronco. It’s the wife’s!

Original order: 2/25/21
Way Scarff Ford Auburn
2 door Black Diamond rapid red 2.7

Bumped to 2022. When reordered, lost color so she added 2 doors and picked eruption green with soft top + kit for hard top

Reorder: 11/2/21
Way Scarff Ford Auburn
4Door Black Diamond eruption green 2.7
Soft top. Tow

Scheduled for production 1/17/22
Just my luck, I seen that’s a short week!
Actually, we do feel lucky and she wanted a 4 door anyways. I almost snuck the 2 door in if they woulda been able to build it fast enough.


I am glad we have some smart guys who helped me add these to our build week.

I have created a tracking spreadsheet so we can share our builds and status through this process. I borrowed the sheet from 1/10 and added a few new touches that should make it easy to edit and input your information. I have tried to carry over a few of us from 1/10 who posted.

A glimmer of hope...

A check this morning of my modules and there is no longer a "null". Hopefully this starts its trip off ice mountain.
Where are you seeing null ? In the pizza tracker or the module link ? First I've heard of somewhere saying null

You're forgetting loan origination fee and tax to access your gains. A lot of those conservative investments have short term penalties if pull the investment if you can do it at all.

The idea is sound but it isn't so simple.

Ah Nice....I'm up at Imperial, wonder what they'll quote me.

How they been through the process? So far no complaints with the woman I'm working with, she's not as on top of it as getting constant updates from here though. I feel like Ford/MA was def slow on promoting the Bronco up this way.

Today, the trucking portal tracker shows a freight bill number. Hoping the 2/6 delivery happens to central Ohio!

In the modules. Not sure which module that was "null", but none are, now. It takes some scrolling....
