First off appreciate all the great advice here. All the great folks here led me to put in my 2022 ST order (6 month ago!) which now has finally arrived.

For me, this vehicle represents 10+ years of hard work and I'm humbled to be able to have such a luxury in a time when so many folks are struggling. All the best to you and your families.

I openly admit that I have zero auto mechanics knowledge. This unfortunately means that I will need to develop a partnership with an auto shop for any upgrades. Does anyone have any recommendations in the Virginia area?

Appreciate this group. Happy to be here.

If you're in the northern VA area, there's PTUNING in Manassas. They are performance oriented. Fairly priced. They'll do anything from as small as replacing brakes, all the way up to building you a full blown track ready racecar.

Which dealer did you go through for your order? I'm in VA too so just curious how your experience went. Any surprises on pricing once it arrived?

I went through Beach Ford in Virginia Beach. No surprises on pricing as I had alright signed that bit on order. I was actually presently surprised on my wife's ford fiesta trade in which fetched way more than I was expecting. I assume because most folks can't wait 6 months for a car!

Long story short: No pricing surprises. They didn't overly impress me, but at the end of the day I got what I came there for.
