    Drove through a ford place by my house today checking out some trucks and they have several with the new 7.3 and the stickers say there is an $8k difference between that and the diesel. They did have a pretty nice white, 4 door, 4wd, 7.3 f250 with a sticker of $48k. Pretty basic but I think it had the off-road package. Didn’t seem unreasonable for a vehicle with an engine named Godzilla.

    How are dealers working registrations and titling without the motor vehicle departments open. Just curious.

    Our state announced no enforcement on new vehicle registration or expired driver licenses for now.

    Guessing they toss a paper plate on it, then whatever happens happens.. Your title gets to you when they send them out. Crazy. As long as it's got insurance.....

    In Florida dealers can do it all except printing an actual title.

    Metal tag on the vehicle before it's taken off the lot.

    The mva here has been closed for weeks. They gotta run out of plates in FLA at some point.

    I'm guessing they'll have to go back once everything is sorted out to address speed and red light cams.

    Here I think that's normally the case with new cars. Not used. But I talked to a friend a Ford dealership tonight and she said they are using paper plates that are 60 day and those are beginning to expire on the used cars they sell. They arr estimating titles may not be in hand for 4 months or more.

    It's auto replenish, so unless USPS shuts down nobody should run out

    Most titles are electronic unless you want a paper one.

    I have a paper title for my truck.. Got it 2.5 years ago. Maryland still issues them.

    Fa..........k, what do you mean even if it is the color of paint. To me once you have selected your car/truck you want, that is the most important thing. My neighbor only wants white cars, but I like a wild variety of colors.

    C'mon, you think when it is going down the assembly line the workers are going.....wow this is for dealer stock, let's mess it up and throw a handful of washers in the transmission?

    Woooo HOOOOO!!!! Are they extending that to speeding tickets at 90+?

    Not at all. It's the odd order that makes them stop and think. The break from routine is what fucks up all the dealer's orders. :D

    I'd prefer New Mexico...something in the Deming area.

    I have been keeping an eye out for a good deal on a F150 XLT but I have yet to find one

    We sold out of them last month. I think we sold almost 150 F-150's alone last month, so inventory on previous year model is all but gone. Still good deals on the '20s. Though I understand a good deal to some folks is half off. :)

    You guys had one listed for 28K, which was sold when I stopped by. I figured finding one for under 30 OTD is what I am keeping an eye out.
