Hi All,
New Maverick Lariat Hybrid owner here. I wanted quickly share my experience. I have had a day one 2022 Tremor order with a local dealer that continues to be in the âclean-unscheduledâ hell. As the calendar just turned to May, following the extremely helpful advice on these forums I became resigned to the fact that my tremor order is very unlikely to get fulfilled so started to expand my net with âfeelersâ to other dealers in the area if any stock units available (prefer hybrid now) or more likely an order is cancelled.
Well, after being âofferedâ one or two at $5000 and $12,500(!) over msrp on an eco and a hybrid, respectively, I wasnât sure this was the best idea either. Then, Wednesday night, I got a call from Ciocca Ford in Souderton PA that they had a new Hybrid Lariat in Area51 with BAP, Lux and 360+ that someone declined. They would sell it to me at msrp. Basically, pretty loaded, however only about $1,000 more than my Tremor XLT msrp. I wasnât sure A51 was the right color for me so I declined. I thought about the error of my ways the next morning and immediately reached out to see it Thursday morning. Unfortunately, someone deposited on it. DamnâŠor so I thought. Two hours later I got a text that the other buyerâs financing fell through and it was mine if I wanted it. I asked if they would honor x-plan. They said yes and I immediately deposited. Picked her up last night and no games whatsoever with pricing. Averaged 42.2 on the 37 miles homes and am not regretting it for a second. Will get pics up soon, but imho A51 looks great with the BAP and I mostly like the understated interior vs exterior. I have a few things planned: need to add SIBL and thinking the Bak roll up cover but have time do all that.
Long story, short, to those of you waiting, hang in there and if you are flexible enough on specs, put feelers out to dealers for deals that fall through and to be added to a wait list. Problem is most places mark them up. Ciocca Ford of Souderton (PA) did not - great experience. Thanks to Jonathan Cotton (sales person), Juan (sales manager), and Tony and Ben in finance for being honest and direct. They even had two other mavs (atlas and carbonized grey) in stock with BAP but were awaiting delivery. Maybe one of you could get lucky too.
Happy Friday to all from Chris and Bluey (I know, unoriginal name but my daughters liked it).
