Won't pick it up until tomorrow but I couldn't resist having a look

Nice. The first thing I would have them do is remove that license plate holder in the front.

I literally told my Salesman ahead of time not to have them install the front license plate and no dealership stickers. Hope they listen.

She's finally home after 528 days. This picture was at the dealer as by the time I left it was dark. Can't wait for longer sunlight days.

I'll be sticking around with this group if for nothing else morale support.

I forgot to ask my dealer not to install it. Luckily they didn't anyways. The sales guy said most people don't want but if you want we can add it. I said no thanks -

Hows was the buying process? Any problems? When inspecting the vehicle was there anything in particular you looked for?

The buying process was pretty easy. They did try to lowball my trade by about $3000. I ended up with $500 less than I wanted. Just think just 6 months ago I would have made a killing on my trade.

The finance guy really wanted to sell me an extended warranty but I resisted.

I was mainly looking at paint issues and gaps which I didn’t find.

I do love the sound of the engine.

Are you bringing her to the North Texas Bronco Club meet up at LSA Burger in the Colony on Sunday? I'll be there with the fam even if I haven't taken delivery yet. (My wife has a Bronco Sport, so we'll still represent, regardless. .)

I forgot about that is this weekend. I will be there.

Well at least the wait is over. What were they offering for extended warranty and for gap?

They asked if I was interested in an extended warranty but I said no so they didn’t even go through the options. Other dealers would still try the hard sell even if you said no.

I will get a Fiord extended warranty in a couple of months or so with those dealers who offer discounted rates on them.

Congrats! Picked mine up as well, brought him home yesterday! woo-hoo!

I'm picking up tomorrow (on my birthday!) from Granger. Found this inspection checklist that you can use when you take delivery.
