Unbeatable Deal - Still in Shock

[JBryant]

It just not get any better than this. My wife’s 23 Lariat Hybrid arrived at dealer and was picked up last week. MSRP $35,545, including transportation. Has Lux, CP360, 360 Assist, D Link Bed Connectors. Dropped SIBL and it got scheduled the next week, so having that done at RinoLiner. Here is where the deal gets sweet. We traded in her 23 XLT Hybrid that had Lux, CP360 and DIBL. She had driven it 7 months and had almost 6K miles on it. MSRP was $28,435. We did add tint, tailgate letters, and a few other small items. After TTL, etc. we paid right at $31K. Dealer gave us $34,000 trade in. When we took off the $500 Farm Bureau discount, it left a whopping difference of $835.00. Total sales tax was a huge $52.04. By the time we added the $150 doc fee, tags, and various other state things, the total amount OTD difference was $1,222.00. Just to think we almost sold it a month ago to Carvana for $32,250. Doing the trade saved us over $3,600 in tax and value of trade. Already had Truxedo X15 cover, tailgate lettering, sill plate protectors, console tray and glove box organizer. Cover, trays, etc. from trade. Sales Manager said the sold the trade the next day. That is it. No more new Mavericks. We both have Lariat Hybrids and we are where we want to be.

So did you pay cash the first one or did you finance? If financing then did you take a hit there? Just curious but it seems you got a sweet deal on pricing but the financing rates can kick you in the butt. BTW we’re really enjoying our 22 Lariat hybrid

Good deal, but I saw that dealership decal on the tailgate and felt my fingers curl in rage. If I'm paying your business tens of thousands of dollars from a product, get your goddamn logo off of it. I hate being a billboard for a dealership. Shit like that annoys me almost as much as the people stupid enough to donate money to their old colleges.

I took my sticker and license plate frame off on the lot. I feel the same as well. If you want me to advertise, you better give me one hell of a deal…

Good deal! You played the maverick lottery and cashed out big. Glad the dealer stayed true to MSRP

I agree... over the years I have had dealers take them off.... If I don't get paid to advertise for them.... get it off my car/truck

I agree on this. I don't even leave their plate cover on. I will talk good about my dealer but if you ain't paying me then I don’t want your logo on my stuff.

Is anyone else triggered enough to continue to hijack this guy's thread?

Congrats OP, I love when a plan comes together, nice work.

Looks great and a great deal! I was sort of feeling like I had been ripped off but then I thought yours probably didn’t have 28k miles. I ended up with only a $152 sales tax bill and a total out of pocket $2432. My trade in was $682 less than the MSRP.

My thoughts exactly. Unless you want to pay a percentage of my financing to advertise your dealership, get that trash off my baby.

I'm hoping that used Maverick prices stay elevated for the next couple of years, so I can do the same upgrade deals until I finally get a plug in hybrid Maverick.

I do not worry about those who have to say something negative. I know they are smarter than me, know more about car deals than me, etc. After all, this one makes only 103 new vehicles I have bought for myself, family and business. I bought my first new one 57 years ago, so I am not quite as experienced as some of these guys, but maybe I will get that smart before I die. Last time I checked, every new vehicle I have bought has either a dealer emblem on the back, a dealer name on the license plate bracket and/or a dealer logo emblem on the front until the tags come in. I was treated well and GLADLY advertise my dealers. The only area I may be smarter than those who reply is that I HAVE SENSE ENOUGH TO FIND AN HONEST DEALER, AND THEY DO NOT. Thanks for the support my friend.
