Just bought my first hybrid

The fog light are freakin cool.
what did ya pay for it and how many miles on it when ya got it?
Many of us are curious about resale values…

As far as add-ons & resale values, Carvana, etc. typically don't add value to owner-installed add-ons. Usually just trim levels XL, XLT, Lariat, etc.

Yeah I think that’s always been the case.
Only person I’ve talked to that bought a used, excuse me, Pre owned 2022 XL basic FWD Hybrid with 34,000 miles paid $18,000 plus the triple T
He is very happy, thing runs like a Swiss watch, looks showroom new.
I think he about passed out when it turned in 48 mpg After driving a 2008 F-150 4x4 Crew cab with a towing package that gave a very consistent 14 mpg. It had the Triton engine, think it was a 5.0 Ltr V-8. Had a low rear end made for some serious stump pulling.
14 mpg was not that bad for that truck.

I think a convoy of Mavericks starting on the east coast of the US with a meet up in California would be cool picking up hundreds of Mavericks along the way traveling across the county would be cool each flashing a banner representing their local clubs taking in donations for charity…

Carvana and similar companies also typically offer you quite a bit less than other places on trade ins yet charge more when they sell.

Everyone who either takes in a vehicle, or buys one to sell, charge more when they sell it, or they would go out of business. Carvana gives you more then most other companys including trade in to dealers, because they make money on financing, not markups on sales. Carvana gave me $3200 more for my 2015 Sonata, then Ford offered on trading in.

100% opposite experience then the three times I’ve gotten quotes from them. And yes all dealers mark up for profits. Trade in and retail are different but in my experience they have always been worse. But maybe that’s just in Utah and California.

I agree with you about quotes, Timing has to be right. Two weeks before I sold my Hyundai to Carvana, they offered me $800 less. When they offered the better price, I sold them my car, and ordered the Maverick the next day. I still had my 2005 GMC Canyon to drive for 8+months, until the Maverick arrived to replace them both.
