Yikes and the traffic down there. Yeah I wish I could convince my wife and my family to move out of FL. Too much traffic, schools blow, jobs are mostly service industry so any kind of pandemic jobs take a massive hit, housing, etc..
would love to move out of here but I have my house and not going to sell it as trying to buy a house right now is crap and rent prices are out of this world, plus I still make good money at my job and the benefits are great. I just deal with it.
They said it’s 4-7 days but lately expect closer to 7. They just had 300 trucks delivered over the weekend that need to get PDI’d.
I just spoke with them. Not only does it cost more, it is also rolled into your purchase price. Which means sales tax applies to the shipping cost and also higher car registration in California. For me that’s an another $200 in sales tax. I’d be looking at $3K minimum for shipping.
Good grief my wife is going to be pissed. Ugh.
That is really annoying.
Seems a bunch of us trucks were delivered on Saturday. Just patiently sitting here waiting for either a phone call or an email to do the paperwork and then get my plane ticket to fly out there.
Be prepared to pay top dollar if you want your truck shipped in an enclosed trailer. Open trailers are cheaper than an enclosed trailer. Not sure if anybody’s looked into it but there are other options other than using the dealer to get your truck shipped to you. I have used uship.com several times in previous years to have a motorcycle and ATV brought to me without any issues. You also let Company‘s bid on your transport. If I was considering shipping my truck and the dealer told me that the cost would be included in with the truck I would say hell no. I would bet the dealer does that because they get some type of kickback out of it.
I certainly purchased from MD because, in part, of the price of shipping. Being told I can wait a few days for a shipper to pick up a .80ish cpm delivery was a big selling point since I'm ordering from a dealer that is quite far away. Going from that to potentially 1.50 cpm is a pretty large cost increase I was not expecting.
Supply chain at the factory. They’re subbing the 20” rims on the Limited with another set.
It does suck I agree. For most of us it’s still a huge saving over local dealers selling at sticker minus manufacturer incentive. My truck is at least $10 grand off sticker.
Wow, I would not be happy about that.
I looked it up. Rental cars were ~$90 for a one way rental, but flights were in the ~$250 range. Not sure where I could get a $100 ticket that is more or less last minute since I won't know when to get it.
for me, I can get a one-way ticket to lake Charles from ft Lauderdale on Friday of this week for $108. could change at any time though. I thought about the rental car scenario if the plane tickets were crazy expensive.
