Waits if you can get them at all.
Low selection.
A 10% or so fee for actually getting it.
Almost zero ability to negotiate.
Autos and homes are two of the biggest components of our economy and both tilted way to one side right now.

Thanks UAW!
I want to like American cars but I just think they’re way behind technologically. I’ve been inside both a 2019 F150 and a 2019 Tacoma and the Tacoma had a lot more modern accessories for what you pay for. I know the f150 is a bigger truck but I just don’t think it’s worth it the money you pay.

I had one reserved but aside from the wait there are lots of quality control issues. I read Bronco6G.com pretty often and the folks who have received their Bronco are having a ton of problems from engines to the tops.

the state could give Hyundai a decent tax break for renovation, the rest of the Shreveport plant is probably in the running for more operations from Hyundai/Kia.
You familiar with the Elio motors debacle? The Caddo commission locked the property into a ridiculous lease that limited more useful viability of the property and allowed Elio to strip the facility of production equipment.

And a multitude of issues with various parts and features, including widespread hard top defects.

Umm Ford just missed revenue and profit by a pretty big number. Their stock is down over 10% and doesn't have much support at the 200 day MA. There is much pain for Ford coming as they still can't get chips because they didn't plan ahead like some other auto makers.

Just bought an F-150, am I screwed?

You were screwed when you signed the paperwork bud. Now you just have to make sure not to clench.

only had it since December, and I’ve had several F-150s, but it’s the coolest truck I’ve ever hadPosted on 2/7/22 at 10:21 am to JackieTreehorn

Ford should have waited to drop the new Bronco. I don't believe I have ever seen a bigger new vehicle launch disaster.
And it was in the works for years. It’s not like they had an idea and rushed it out.

I'm sure they are still making bank with people paying MSRP on existing vehicles. You can sell less when you charge more and people pay more.

The dealers are making bank. Manufacturers, not so much.
