Pour one out for me, brothers!
I wanted our next vehicle purchase to be a full size electric truck, so we set our sights on the SEV, specifically a 2025 SEV WT because it has the range, towing payload, 240V, large frunk, native CarPlay (wife doesn't want to subscribe to EVPlay). I've been browsing this sub the past year, learning the ropes, pros/cons of the truck, meanwhile shopping, man it has been a journey.
Unfortunately, I was never able to secure a deal for a 2025 SEV WT and I looked nationally, now the 0% nationwide financing offer is gone. I refuse to fork over funds for 84 months 7%. That's a big oof.
The biggest roadblocks were the dealers. They would often try to steer me to their gas or diesel trucks, play games with add-ons, say a truck is there when it wasn't, shifting numbers around in a four-box grid, the back-and-forth manager game, bump-up in financing, bait and switch tactics, and so on and so forth. I must have the worst luck. But the dealership experience left such a poor taste in my mouth that I don't even want to buy a truck from any dealership anymore. I'd rather let these trucks rot on the lot than give money to these moneygrubbers.
Enjoy your great trucks and keep it moving.
Until then, ciao
