Quartermaster has landed Stateside

Morning Linda has arrived at the Port of Tacoma. My fear of it being stuck in Panama Canal or ship catching on fire is now over. Couple more weeks

Did you get chance to drive it?

Didn't get the chance to.

I am going to make a coffee table style book that shows my journey in getting my QM. I decided to put my VIN in to NTHSA site which produced this nice report. Thought I would share.

Interesting. No second row airbags are indicated.

Well well well, looked what showed up today at EBA. Still need the canvas cover, which is dealer installed.

Fantastic!

pretty bummed that after configuring a QM all I got was "we'll send this to your dealer and they will get back to you on pricing" Sorry but I'm not contracting for something 6 months out without knowing the price. I guess the old adage is true: taxes kill. Pretty pissed at how many people are eager to see taxes raised. I'll just wait until dealers have QM orders on lots that people backed out of.

Will the vehicle tariff be on top of the chicken tax? So 50% in total?

 

[ADVAW8S]

Yes it seemed that it is stacked. I got my QM here states for 86k which was actually 11k less than what I was suppose to pay. The 11k difference was Ineos lowering the price and eating some of the chicken tax. Now the 11k seems to be added back in from the new tariff.

Chicken tax only applies to 2-door vehicles, no?
