Car Dealerships

A couple of FIAT 500 electric cars spotted at the dealer in Fort Mill. 

Sometimes you have to go to a dealer for a real reason, and sometimes it's fun to go just for the heck of it. Let's put this pair of dealership visits under the just for the heck of it category. 

Electric FIAT 500 lease only $199 a month. Italian electricity not required!

I knew that our closest FIAT dealership had some of the new FIAT 500 E electric models, so I headed up to Fort Mill SC to check them out. This is the place where I bought a 500 Abarth back in 2013, so it was kind of fun to go back. Also, it's just a small part of a big Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge-Ram etc, and now includes the Vietnamese built Vinfast cars too! While I didn't check out the Vinfast models, they had a couple of the electric FIATS on the lot, a good number of the Dodge Hornets, and a lot of Maseratis and Alfa Romeos too. 

Dodge Hornet SUVs. They list from $30K-$50K plus. 

Down here in Rock Hill, I was at our local Ford dealer for a Maverick recall, and took the time to walk around and see what was new there. One thing that still seems odd to me is that their indoor showroom doesn't have any cars, it's just more cubicles. I really don't know if they have that many sales people working, but it just seems odd to me. At a Honda recall not long ago, the Honda dealer had two or three new vehicles indoors, so I'm giving Honda a little gold star for that small achievement. Maybe someone at the Ford place lost the key to the doors for driving cars in, who knows?

A shiny new Ford Mustang GT. I'd say yes to this one. 

I saw two Broncos with whatever this is. The stripes are also on the seats. To me it was a throwback to the 70s Pinto wagon or something like that with these colors. Pass. 

Even a Ford SUV with the ST badging earns you a free track day! I believe they do this program at a track in Utah, so if you can get out there, have fun!

F150 Tremor I believe, but wait...

Extra LED lighting! For when you're doing serious off roading and looking for Sasquatch.
