Wow. Zero percent interest. Nice. With a catch, I'm sure, but in the current rate environment, that will cover a lot of dollars. Consider, for example, a $40K loan at 6% interest. That's about $5,100 in savings.

I just looked it up and in 2008 when I bought a new Mitsubishi, interest rates were about 7% and I got 0% for 60 months. I financed everything including the sales tax.

And break down the boxes to take to recycling.

lol .. she works her tail off. I don’t care what she orders I just like to give her a hard time about it.

Like she always says… “I purchase lots of little things…. You purchase $75K trucks”. Hard to argue with that.

One of my kids is head of eCommerce sales for NA and SA.
This is a big few days.

Saw my first Macan EV. $90k-$110k, looked like this:

"So, beginning July 8, we’re evolving. The employee pricing for all campaign transitions to the 0-0-0 summer sales event1. It features zero down payment, zero percent interest for 48 months2, and zero payments for the first 90 days on most of our Ford and Lincoln vehicles.

It’s the same transparent, easy-to-shop approach for our customers. And for those interested in an electric vehicle, we are extending the Ford Power Promise through Sept. 30."

@roadrurner,
The 'Ring has track days and public days, which are different.

Regarding the B&O system in both the Bronco Sport and the Maverick….the best car stereo I’ve ever heard were the systems in my Acuras. The B&O isn’t as good. Bass is sloppy and they feel strained when turned up past the listening comfort zone. That said, the B&O was better than the stereos in my Accords and the Stinger. The Meridian system in my EV6 has more clarity.

But, we’re talking small increments when it comes to the premium stereos.

I did not like the base stereo in the Bronco, at all. First trip in it would be to the aftermarket installer!

@Michaell Sorry for the loss of your good friend. A bit of light shone through for me, many of my friends are getting on, after reading your heartfelt tribute I made a promise to myself to appreciate them as much as possible while I still can, and while they are still here.

Well said : @Michaell, as @driver100 said here, I've also lost friends along the way and two of them plus myself were the "Three Musketeers" in HS. I am the only one left and one, when he passed was only 48 y.o. I think about them often and say a silent prayer for them. My deepest sympathies for you and anyone with a similar loss.
