If you bought it at Pundmann I may have driven the same truck. I could not see paying $5k over sticker at the time but after I thought about it for a while I could see doing it. I did not really need it at the time so I ordered one and hope to get it by spring/summer.
And your point is? Specious arguments aside, all of us as individuals set our OWN limits and values on transactions we consider "fair" or reasonable to US. There's no collective group think here about paying above or below MSRP. A small group of posters here rigidly stick to their principals on what they will pay- good for them! Don't try to condemn people who don't share those principals on car buying in the new age. It's an individual decision and nobody else's. Anybody that wants to boycott a product or dealer over pricing- go for it. Just understand you made the decision not to have a truck- nobody else caused that. Limited supply and high demand is responsible.
Like I stated my negotiated price was near the 2023 price. My wife told me to go buy the truck and she didn’t care about the over MSRP. I love the truck you and I both passed over at least once. My favorite quote is “You snooz you loose”. Thanks to my wife I did not snooze too long. If you see the 3RD MAV around town please wave.
It was nicely equipped and I like the color. Later I thought I should have offered them $40k out the door (not including sales tax) but I don't think they would have taken it. They were pretty good and straight with info. I ended up ordering from a dealer closer to my house.
There is a old proverb “If you don’t ask you will never now the answer”. One thing I would rather have is the XLT wheels. I like some shine.
I just remembered something that illustrates the market price, no matter what the MSRP. I once owned a 57 Chevy 2 door Hardtop I bought for $1,200 when it was 4 years old. I just saw one advertised for $77,000. I guess you could say it will sell ABOVE MSRP.
My point was concisely stated. No further comment is necessary as it will not lead to any productive discussion at this point.. All I'll say is it seems you feel the need to defend your actions. Not gonna read into it, though.
Did you finance the lobster?How is the ever loving heck is that trolling? Calling people who highlight your absurd take trolls is not a very strong counter point.
Your salty position on people selling goods for market rate is so comically absurd that it is destined for ridicule. What else did you expect?
By the way, we went out for dinner the other night and I saw that they had lobster for “market price”! The nerve of them! I told the waiter that the lobster was $28 when we ate there last year and there is no reason it should be a penny over that this year. It’s not like the lobsters have new tech that makes them better.
OUR DEALER KEEPS GETTIN ECOS IN NO HYBRIDS! started about $4,000 over msrp then $3,000 over then less than $2,000 over they seem to sell within days each load!! still waiting on our hybrid waited a year, now reordered as a 23 who knows. darn near got a santa cruz this week, as our dealer now charges msrp, no add ons, he had a SE for $26,500 ish, but I was too late, that is the only one I would want, they have many sel-night ones- limited etc, but they all cost too much. merry Christmas to all !!
I did it is similar but different. I also looked at the frontier and I Feel it is a good truck. A plus to the frontier is a 6 cyl engine and a frame. Negatives are poorer fuel economy and extra cost. Same truck was more than the Maverick. If I knew the cargo tie down limitations of the Maverick before buying I might have given the frontier more consideration. Limitation is cross tie down can twist frame. I saw this some were in the owner’s manual fine print. But I am only going to do limited hauling so it is not really important to me.
I understand, and the Maverick is unique in size and functionality. My wife doesn't miss crawling up into my former 2018 Colorado and I really enjoy the agility and functionality of the Maverick. I hope the resolution to my Maverick's issue is reasonably quick and painless.
