Update to History Repeats itself & My electric EV journey

[miatadan]

Negotiated last couple of days.

Now on order 2022 Mach-E in grabber blue, Select RWD 100A.

They used my 2019 VW Jetta to reduce amount of tax due, saving me roughly $3000. Not as good as getting the $5000 EV rebate. Delivery expected sometime in summer.

Bi-weekly payment including tax came out to $366. Spent about $6000 more than I originally planned thanks to $1000 price increase from 2021 and higher interest rate + no EV rebate.

interest rate not the best 3.99 compared to 0% on 2019 VW Jetta

Yes, there is some stuff Sandy Munro did not like about the Mach-E .

Battery now 70kWh capacity , not sure whether that will change anything.
With my history of having many ICE Mustangs over the years, I feel I will be happy with this Mach-E.

Minimum requirement had to be RWD driving characteristics , decent performance and be an BEV, not Phev.

Congrats! And now for the wait for it to arrive. Better in the summer than in this stuff.

Apparently , I am first customer who ordered Mach-E in base RWD 100A package with no additional options from Cambrian Ford.

When I ordered my first Mustang GT coupe ( 1997 ) it was base model with cloth seats and air conditioning was only option I added as well as spoiler delete, in Autumn Orange colour, 5 speed manual. No one asks to borrow your car when it is manual ( it is like having free anti-theft feature to have manual transmission )

Interesting fact about Cambrian Ford in Sudbury, they started in 1911, celebrated 100 years in 2011 as well as being first Ford dealership in all of Canada.

That's a cool piece of history on the dealership. I currently drive a manual, even my wife doesn't drive it.

Safe from today's auto highjackers.
