Lol you think they would rather sell a glider than a new that's on the lot.Intothesunset Thanks this. -
There is local guy who replaced his 2008 Isx with n14, painted it red and has been driving like that for over 5 years. It's the same as running deleted trucks, illegal, but it's a very slim chance to get caught
UItraman, MartinFromBC, BoostedTeg and 2 others Thank this. -

Im pretty sure KW still sells gliders unless they quite just recently. I looked at 4 last week. And purchased one Monday.

And yes FET is supposed to be collected on a glider of the price is 75% or more than the price of a new truck of same spec. So when you can buy a 389 off the lot for $165k and Fitz is selling gliders for $140k then yes, they should have been collecting FET. And that’s why they owe $83 million. I believe it started out at $64 million and has gone up as they’ve dug through their paperwork.
Really Fitzgerald only has themselves to blame. Gliders were never meant to be assembled in a mass production type scenario. They exploited a loop hole and got everyone’s attention. And now with all the junk motors they’ve put out the last few years I doubt many people are sympathetic to their current plight.Blue jeans, Studebaker Hawk, Tb0n3 and 1 other person Thank this. -

Personally I don’t care if there are gliders or not. With the prices they bring it doesn’t make sense for me to run one. But I put the “Gliders will always be around” group right next to the “ELD’s are going to get overturned” group.
