How much is a 2023 Ford XL Base model Maverick?

[uh50]

It was scary times. The day before closing I would go to bank and get enough cash to pay all bills so I could be certain I could pay them. ( There was an affidavit in the closing paper work in which I certified that everything had been paid for so I was ready if banker shut me down. They were getting notices occasionally from fed to cut back loans.). I also had a tape and texture sub who would not bill me and at one point I had 4-5 houses I had closed and he called and asked for money on one of them. When I paid him in cash I asked him why he wouldn't bill me and he replied "xyz builder cannot pay and I need the money. Since you always pay when I ask you are my emergency banker".

I can understand that. It was scary times, yet it led to a great career.

When money got expensive, we downsized a bit and did not do large jobs during those days. As you know larger General Contractors tended to pay in 45 to 60 days, and the cost of money was just too much.

The reason I finally got out of the contracting business is when my loan officer called to have a meeting. So, when I went in, he explained that the bank was also cutting back their loans, but wanted to give their good paying customers a chance to finance their future work.

Interestingly, since I borrowed and paid back $250,000 in the previous year, they wanted me to take a $250,000 cash loan and use it as collateral for my weekly needs. I didn't see the need as the contracting business was shrinking due to the economy being strapped by 22% consumer interest. I wasn't paying that much, but paying interest on the $250,000 for collateral and also paying interest on the weekly cash flow borrows. It was going to cost me double to finance my jobs and the bank thought they were doing me a favor. Didn't make sense to me.

We had a little in savings and quite a bit of equity in our equipment and our home and I felt like it was a good time to sell out. I had been hounded by a firm that wanted to buy us out and liquidate, so shoot, I did it. I immediately went to work for Bechtel as an Electrical Engineer on a huge PetroChemical Plastics project in Louisiana. That started a good and long career in construction management. I miss that type of work.

My sources can confirm this price.
The Hybrid will be discontinued due to Dead HyBrid Syndrome and of course The Crank Issue what causes fires.
All Mavericks will now be 400 HP Raptors and will only be built in some weird green color.

About 55k

Actually I think the banker was doing you as good a favor as he could under the fed's restrictions at the time you were a borrower with a history of $250,000 loan which if it was $400,000 he could have offered you a cash credit line of that. At least he offered you a chance to make something that would work out. I feel like what you did was most likely the best choice.

It’s Raptor-green and I thought it was 405hp? I also heard the crank issue was a in-the-works Instant campfire for all the campers and northerners…

After watching @fordvideoguy stream last night it seems to be more fleets pricing and not actual final pricing. So take that for what you will. Obviously it wont be same price at 19,999 .

You're right

In theory.....this is as cheap as you can go. Hybrid Front Wheel Drive.

This is assuming no further modifications to the base cost of the hybrid engine.

Pricing Summary

• Base MSRP
  $20,995
• Options & Accessories
  + $0
• Destination Charges
  + $1,495
• Total MSRP
  = $22,490

Ecoboost bare bones would be $22,925, $435 dollars more.

Less $2,750 if you got a private offer from Ford as a roll-over customer who's 2022 order was not fulfilled. I was lucky enough to receive that rebate on my 2023 base Hybrid.
