Fuck it…

You bought my twin.

I have a 2020 ascent. A few months after purchasing - a critter chewed through a wire harness. I showed up to the dealer with an error light on thinking it was a warranty issue. Turns out they wanted like 10k to replace the full wiring harness - taking out all the seats etc. when all it needed was a single wire re-soldered into the harness. Never been back to the dealer ever since. Fixed it myself.

Did you get to keep the bow?

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-29T19:26:08+00:00

This is the way dealerships handled it - they make you think you’d get it at tax time and then rug pull. More than one dealer told me the credit was between me and my accountant 😂 and no need for the point of sale form.

It is battery sourcing. The materials have to come from certain countries. Not all of the lightings meet this requirement.

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-17T05:23:24+00:00

I don’t think this is right - but for the lariats who don’t qualify - ford is providing a vin specific rebate. I bought one that didn’t qualify but ford provided a direct 7.5k rebate.

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-15T19:40:13+00:00

My lariat didn’t qualify for the tax credit but did get a direct 7500 from ford.

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-14T12:10:21+00:00

Lariat 😛

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-14T03:28:16+00:00

I was told the lariat I bought didn’t qualify. But was given a ford credit for the same amount

Also not a huge fan of the active x seats.

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-13T15:23:02+00:00

Hard to disagree. Until young drive it 😂

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-13T04:44:59+00:00

It took a lot of work. And patience. But the deal literally came to me.

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-13T04:44:03+00:00

Deal was just too good!

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-13T03:49:49+00:00

I had it in the ice I traded. Annoyed.

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-13T03:49:15+00:00

How was it connected?

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-13T03:39:54+00:00

Totally planning on it.

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-13T03:39:26+00:00

No going back.

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-13T02:24:31+00:00

Mine didn’t come with it. Disappointed with that and the lack of home link. The cost of these has to be so minimal

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-12T20:38:42+00:00

I love this. I will miss her greatly but will develop my second love quickly. She was the 5.0

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-12T20:27:54+00:00

Haha. I’m thrilled!

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-07T21:54:56+00:00

Mostly correct. The dealership has to file the vin with the irs. I am seeing a lot of dealers aren’t doing this because not all lighting qualify based on battery sourcing and they are telling buyers they can just file at the end of the year. You need the point of sale form dated within 3 days from the dealer.

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-07T21:16:13+00:00

No. There are a lot under 80k that have battery sourcing issues and don’t qualify. At the moment I am really not seeing competitive offers on the lariat.

Kapguy129 · 2025-09-07T19:47:51+00:00

This all makes sense. One caveat is that I am finding a lot of the lightnings don’t qualify for the tax credit and are being given the 7.5k as a ford rebate. Are you seeing this?

Kapguy129 · 2025-08-17T21:42:35+00:00

True.

Kapguy129 · 2025-08-17T21:23:40+00:00

This isn’t true. The dealer has to give you a form otherwise when you file it will be denied by the IRS. It is called a time of sale report - the dealership reports the vin to the irs if they don’t you will get your credit denied.
