Around my area, trucks rule the roads. Fishing, shrimping, hunting, etc. Many people are low income but live life on a daily basis and simply can't afford the $30,000 minimum price tag on new trucks. Buying used trucks (when the prices were realistic) was a gamble on reliability and without ANY warranty, a shot in the dark. Getting a new Maverick at $20,000 has people around here sitting up and taking notice. If one is returned and marked up $2,000 over MSRP, it is still a GREAT deal and will sell by day's end. THEY MOVE! With that being said, I honestly don't know of any Mavericks or dealers that have done that. We simply sit around a huge table drinking coffee and run to the bathroom a lot while gossiping.
I took my wife's year old Kia Soul into the dealer for service at the end of December. It only has 6k miles on it because we really don't drive it that much. They tried to get me to trade it in or sell it to them. I didn't bite but it is hard to walk away from making money on a used car.
Way that I see it, once my hybrid gets here, if I can get 30k for it, I will turn around and go get a 4wd Canyon/Colorado, Frontier, Ranger or Taco
Call different dealers and leave your contact info for any that are turned down by customers. That’s how I nabbed my Lariat that’s supposed to be here any day!
Just sold my 2020 soul 6 speed to car max for $3200 profit after owning almost 3 years had under 27k miles on it. I loved that car w/ 6 speed, however have 13 GT, but soul was more comfortable to drive & work in & fun to drive. No more manuals for 2022 model. Got cyber orange cig on order.
Xlt on order
That is an amazing number of miles! My friend and I both had 2013 Ford C Max hybrids. I sold mine with 87,000 miles on it and bought a Hyundai EV. My friend just sold hers with 124,000 miles because the transmission had to be replaced.
