Just built a Big Bend exactly speced as my 22 2 door - was $42,700 now is $49,500. That’s $6800 increase 16.9% increase! With today’s interests rates, I’d be priced out.

Especially when the federal government is forcing you to do so.How else can they make up the 4billion plus loss on the EV platforms
Putting your eggs in the EV me too basket can be costly…..
You clearly don't know what a credit facility is but good on you for being 100% certain hahaThat’s 100% incorrect. Ford did not take the auto bailout money even under intense pressure from the Obama Administration. I used to work for Ford and we were proud Ford didn’t take the bailout money and used to tell potential customers that. In fact, many buyers bought Fords for that reason.
I'm afraid you are completely mistaken. Ford did take funds exactly the same as the other Detroit automakers.That’s 100% incorrect.

I know, it makes most of us sick in the stomach to watch this in real time happen.Especially when the federal government is forcing you to do so.
OH, and by the way, all parties have done a “great” job of spending our money…Should I remind everyone that our government has NO MONEY? ALL funding comes from the taxpayers and consumers. It’s YOUR money!
You are correct that from a technical standpoint they took funding, however, unlike the other manufacturers who were handed bailouts, FORD sought out a private financial institution before the collapse and did NOT receive a single taxpayer dime after it. He is still correct in his response. You might want to actually try using Google before spouting off incorrect information.I'm afraid you are completely mistaken. Ford did take funds exactly the same as the other Detroit automakers.
There's a big difference between a private financial institution and a taxpayer funded bailout. Not sure how you can be ignorant of this simple fact. You're only further making his point correct.You clearly don't know what a credit facility is but good on you for being 100% certain haha
Found another one that doesn't understand how credit facilities work!There's a big difference between a private financial institution and a taxpayer funded bailout. Not sure how you can be ignorant of this simple fact. You're only further making his point correct.
Let's also remember that they took out their loans prior to the 08 collapse, not after. Ford was smart enough to secure private money in advance of a disaster, whereas GM and others did not and instead received TAXYPAYER money after the fact.
Dude, are you just making stuff up on the spot?There's a big difference between a private financial institution and a taxpayer funded bailout. Not sure how you can be ignorant of this simple fact. You're only further making his point correct.
