Well... I sure hope Mullinax contacts my son before the OP (sorry OP). We have 2 lariats on order with them. One Hybrid and one 2.0. My son really wants the hybrid but missed the cutoff date. We have asked Mullinax to please let us know if they get a Lariat Hybrid in that is available.Check out Mullinax Ford Apopka, Fl.
They are large dealer.
I would not pay over MSRP because you don’t have to, patience

Exhibit A:
So that's an MSRP of $33,985 with a $6k ADM lmao from the dealer you found. To make it worse, its not even theirs, it's a customer order so I'd have to cross my fingers that the customer cancelled.
How am I still a part of this? I just did it to show you a search would turn up results? You're a big boy, find your Mav and make your deal.Exhibit A:

@idiotforv
I have read all of this (I have no idea why). I would not pay $6k markup for a Maverick. However, what I would do isn't material because my circumstances are different than yours. I don't need any vehicle for 4-6 months. I would like to get one before that, but I don't have any pressing circumstances (like a kid that needs to drive and no one to teach him to drive a manual) that require me to purchase now.
Based on what I have read here OP, you clearly want this vehicle. You also have some good reasons for purchasing from this particular dealer and trading your vehicle to them. If you can afford the 6K mark up and you want the vehicle now, get it. It isn't likely to be cheaper for a year. In the event you don't like it in the next few months you could probably at least break even by selling it.
My brother, who was a marine and is also very good with money, would probably tell you to pass. I was never a marine and I'm not as good with money, I say do what you want to do. You have some solid reasons given your current circumstances. Just be aware it won't be the best financial decision. It might still be the right decision for you.

You're only part of it because you wanted to be lol you have no one to blame but yourself here.
The reason I'm quoting you, is I am a big boy and I have done A TON of searching contrary to popular opinion. Lastly, you wanted to make it seem like it only took 30 seconds to find something I couldn't and I'm just letting you know it's more of the same. Still thanks for trying!

Just wanted to cap this off and put it out to pasture, I've heard everyone on here and I appreciate your input. I know this is not the best financial decision but to be fair to all of you that got the truck for under MSRP my actions are only boasting your value so you really should be thanking me lol.
In any case we decide against the popular opinion on here and we'll be the new owners of Carbonized Grey Metallic Hybrid Lariat Maverick soon. I look forward to the insight these boards can often provide, and I'm excited to become part of such a lively and involved bunch!

Congratulations, be sure and let us know how you like it when you make it back home!
I've got two on order, both are AWD XLTs, one of the two is Carbonized Gray the other Alto Blue. I'm not really sure which I am hoping comes first. Anyway, I think you got a good color.

You need to ask yourself two questions:
My advice? Be friendly and cordial with a few reputable dealers and have them put you on their "list" of folks that flake out when their trucks come in. Try and negotiate under $5k ADM, keep your LTV at or below 70% and you're good to go.
- What will your principal be on the loan you are considering? Will the deal as a whole keep you in the green that if S*** hits the fan, you'd be able to sell your vehicle for at least what you have on your loan i.e. avoiding being "underwater"
- Do I want to be like the rest of this forum complaining every Thursday that they didn't get a build email THEN paying above MSRP when their truck comes in anyway because that's what the market is dictating right now?

Just saw this - good for you, man! CG is an awesome color in person and you're gonna love it. The rest of the forum "I'd never pay over MSRP blah blah blah" don't understand what the S in MSRP stands for.

Enjoy it.
While many would not pay above MSRP and would just wait for their order (myself included), there are also people that have paid the $6k or more.
It is totally up to you. As I read through this, I could tell your gut was to pay it. Glad you went with what you wanted and not with what the majority that responded would do. Every situation is different.
Like you said, take the entire transaction into account. Basically, the “up charge” from your current car to the Mav; compared to normal times. Sounds like it is mostly a wash, for you, that is good.
Enjoy the truck, while the rest of us continue to wait.
At the end of the day, it's your money.
I have a CG XLT HYBRID. Picked it up a week ago today and already have 1k miles on it. I'm loving this truck.
Congratulations and happy for you and the decision you made. No regrets. Enjoy watching your son learn to drive. Time is precious and you don’t get them back.
I also have the same color and trim on order so I can’t wait to see pictures.
