Ouch. Glad they are ok.

Just had a thought: That's going to be one of the first Mavericks at the junkyard. Get there fast to scavenge the parts you want!

Anyone know the backstory on this one?......

Updated with info from @JVolpe

Agree with peoples comments and a lot of salvage parts, especially if it's a hybrid with the battery on the passenger side.

What’s the markup on that used Mav?

Around 10K as far as I believe.

Is it just me or do there seem to be a lot of "totalled Maverick" threads? I guess it's good no one has been seriously injured in one of these threads. At least I know that someday in the distant future my hybrid will be pretty safe.

I've seen two on here, including this one

Im off to start a thread to gauge if it’s a good idea or not to just pay it so I can get one while waiting for my order to come in

I wonder where you saw the other one?????

Between this one and mine there is a whole Maverick to be had!(mine needs a new dash. Bet his does too)

I ordered oct 25, just spoke with dealer yesterday...bottom line in my case. .still waiting! I anticipate that I'll be lucky if I'm in my Mav early summer.

When did you order yours?

Someone was looking out for that driver!

Never mind..after I hit send, I saw you ordered 10/13. I'm being given every sort of excuse imaginable...but it's cool, I fully expected this to happen. Just trying to be patient...lol!

So lets say that some jerkwad totals your Maverick, and you're not in a no-fault state, and its totally 100% their fault.

Car insurance on used cars are supposed to give you "replacement cost", but to actually replace it means they would have to look at what they are selling for at dealerships right this second, which is way over MSRP. However, legally they can get away with offering as low as 80% value of blackbook is what I was told, at least in Texas. But who knows how low that is. Usually they try to avoid that as such disputes create lawyer billing time and that's not profitable, but these are weird times.

I have a strong feeling that whatever the insurance's first offer is, dispute it as it'll be too low. I've only had a vehicle totaled once, and their insurance also low balled me so I sent 5 examples in my area that were equal condition and what I expected as a minimum, and they luckily agreed to that sum which was several thousand more than their initial offer, but that was even back in normal times.

Definitely an ecoboost, you can see the intercooler laying on the ground in front of it.

More than one! Several generations of engineers have worked for decades to make cars safer by adding things like airbags, crumple zones, etc.--incentivized by increasingly stringent safety regulations. Amazing how much abuse a modern vehicle can take while still protecting its occupants.
