WTF

45000 Euros or $52650 tax excluded.

2004 Lariat 4-WD

 

nahh, somethings wrong there, they wont be quite that high.

 

I wonder what the foreign currency exchange rate was when that article was first penned.

Ford will be very disappointed in Lariat sales if that price holds true.

$40,000 for a decked out Lariat maybe 43 grand tops. Anymore than that they will rust away on the lots. Of course you have to add shipping costs for Europe so it's hard to say. European types are funny about their vehicles, maybe they'll pay that for a truck. If they do perhaps Ford won't have to charge us as much here on our own continent.

 

Of course shipping costs.
20-22% import taxes.

Still a lot of money.

Yeah you must be a real FTE to drive those trucks.

"If they do perhaps Ford won't have to charge us as much here on our own continent."

No need for that.Heard you guys are getting a couple of dollars back.Not as much as GW promised but hey everything helps.

 

Damn. Going to really have to "WANT" one to have it over there (*points Eastward*).

Ouch...that's expensive.

Face it, you have to move to the States and enjoy the cheaper prices (including the cheaper gas)

BTW - How is your truck doing now, is it still acting up?

WHere in Europe? Those streets get pretty narrow at least that's my experience in UK and France. I was walking in north London on vacation a few years back. A Ford 150 pulled up to the stop light. Very bizarre to see an American truck trying to squeeze down a London street. And it was the main street thoroughfare, fairly modern. Even makes the 'lorries" look small!!!

Gotta love big US iron!

 

Sorry, haven't checked out this thread for a while.
Hi Dutchy , how's the knee?
How many miles on the supercrew?

ksystems

West-coast of The Netherlands near the main port of Europe Rotterdam

 

Makes you wonder how they move their military vehicles around.

 

F150Europe,

31000 miles so far, but we will probably trade in our truck as soon as we get back to the States.

For now we are checking out this new 2004, looks nice, but we have to see it and test drive it. It looks like Ford improved on some areas the screw needed improvement!

My knee is still messed up, I'm going to find out today what the total damage is, but I don't need a doctor to tell me that it is going to take a while to recover.

At least the insurance companies are clear in the fact that it was the other guys fault, so my claims should not be any problem.

Too bad that I'm not in the States right now, I could get a fairly good sum of money for this, here I might get 1500 for pain and suffering

Anyway, are you enjoying this warm weather?

 

You mean you are going back to the States for good and buy a 2004 over there.

Sorry to hear about your knee.
Must be real uncomfortable.

About the weather, very humid today, temperatures sucks, way to warm for me.
20-22 degrees celsius is warm enough for me.
Working in the greenhouse right now is not very pleasant.
I usually take the afternoon off, downside is I have to finish my work in the evening.
And that sucks even more.

 

Good news, the orthopedic surgeon says that my problems should be resolved with a minor surgery.

This surgery is scheduled for 19 June, so just two more weeks of being bored and then I’ll be back on my feet.

Usually a week after surgery I should be able to walk somewhat normal, if nothing else goes wrong.

So, a total of three more weeks and I’ll be riding again (actually not really since I’m selling my bike), but at least I’ll be walking again.
