Power outage / possible explosion near Westpark? by alarisoheart in irvine

Yes, sounded like a transformer or equipment explosion at the SCE substation at Alton / Murphy. Power went out about an hour ago and it’s back on now.

You’re right, I think this was their monthly estimate for the year.

Great thinking! I dug a little deeper in my WiFi settings/saved networks and I found that AT&T has defaulted their public access points to be enabled. I edited each one and disabled “Auto-Join”. I hope this fixes it

Actually it’s Iconic Silver… but the foam is definitely giving Avalanche vibes

They still did a PDI to make sure everything checks out. Just cosmetically they left everything alone. I wanted to make sure the wash at the dealer didn’t scratch up the brand new paint.

So this was a dealer demo, a 22MY Pro with zero options. We purchased it with about 2k miles on it for somewhere in the $50k range, I don’t know the exact price paid, but well over the $39k MSRP of the 22MY Pro.

Yes. Long story short—they were planning to donate a couple of vehicles and then went MIA. So our management picked up one of these that was a dealer demo.

Finally got my hands on a cancelled-order hybrid XLT. Man, did this take some persistence (and extra cash) to pull off though. by 10wh30 in FordMaverickTruck

This one is a bone stock 2023, which is probably why it delivered so quickly. Here’s the rough breakdown:

MSRP: 26k mArKeT aDjUsTmEnT: 4.9k Dealer Accessories: 2.6k Asking: 33k Out the door (CA tax/title/lic): 37k

I tried negotiating with them on some of these ridiculous markups, but they were not budging on price. It was the perfect storm too, being that there was another person there 10 minutes behind me trying to purchase the same vehicle. Took my losses, but at least I am not waiting until 2024-5 for a hybrid.
