My EB AWD Maverick is also scheduled to be built the week of July 31st but for me the problem is I no longer want the truck. I think the only way I will buy it at this point is if I'm confident that I'll be able to turn a quick and healthy profit on it.
I was thinking the same thing . I wonder what a 2023 xlt hybrid almost no options would be worth by the time a 2024 came in. Would they still hold their present outrageous price? If so you could possibly upgrade some and break even?
Why aren't you taking your order? Every one that drops their order just stole an order from someone that wants one. Ford should look at COVPs that weren't taken and not allow orders for 24s.
Yeah when I went to my dealer he said don't belive what you see in those forums. He was wrong. And he wasn't a bad dealer. But they feel like someone is telling them how to do their job. But as their customer you have too because of tge bad dealers out there.
But you also gained Cruise control and that's got to be worth at least $200.... So it's a $2500 increase.
I guess I should have worded it differently. Things have changed and I no longer am in need of the Maverick.
Surely you are going to find another dealer, get your order in with them, and take the confirmation to that goofball?Just two weeks ago we were at World Ford in Pensacola picking up our new XLT Hybrid and I told our sales agent to put me on her calendar for the morning of July 17th. When I told her why, she called her sales manager over who proceeded to tell me I had no idea what I was talking about and that 2024 ordering wouldn't open before September or October and I shouldn't believe things just because I read them on the interwebs. I'm so hoping to be able to keep that appointment next month, place an order and look up that sales manager...
Overall I had a very good buying experience with World Ford. They sold me a new Maverick for MSRP with no attempts to add a Market Price Adjustment or any bogus add-ons, and they were actually able to get me a hybrid XLT, which means they have allotments. They never complained when I made several adjustments to my order to try and play the "avoid constraints" game. So I have no problem buying from them again. I'm just hoping to be able to say "told ya" to that sales manager.
Expect a price increase is probably the safe bet.
An underappreciated factor. I've spoken with a lot of people who hear Maverick and immediately say, "Oh, that's the truck you can't actually get." I imagine the subset of potential truck buyers willing/able to wait up to a year (or more) for their orders is actually pretty small in the scheme of things.
