This is a great deal for someone in the area.
Is it a XLT or Lariat?
Is it a XLT or Lariat?
I would have jumped at that chance if I didn't just get built.

I'd take it if you weren't on the opposite end of the country. It'd be a fun road trip though.

Interesting! Gone are the days of the dealer being thrilled and adding on $10-15k ADM! Now it’s “do you know someone who might be interested?” I guess they’re not anxious to put it on the lot with a discount.
This has me thinking...
I've noticed that a lot of members on here who already own MY22 or MY23's have placed MY24's on order. I presume because they are hoping to sell or trade in their older Maverick for a profit and essentially get a new one for free. So what happens when the bottom drops out of the flipper market? Will they still take delivery on the MY24 and sell their old one for a net loss? Could be that a lot of orders get cancelled then maybe and the dealers actually get some inventory.
Or I could be completely out to lunch on this.

curious, what does the M and Y stand for when you guys say MY23, MY24, etc.
Model Year
You're not wrong. 24 Maverick will be easy to get. I mean, order bank has been open for like FIVE WEEKS and counting.

IMHO you hit it right on! I ordered a ‘23 after buying a ‘22 FE Lariat Lux Hybrid with everything that someone turned down. I was somewhat on the fence about taking delivery of my order which was a FE Lariat Lux Hybrid (no bed cover, FE decals/extras, no bed rails and no remote start on key fob).
When I considered the 28k miles on my ‘22, a chip in the windshield, a rust spot on the roof and about $2k to trade into a ‘23 with 25 miles and a new warranty I figured I would never have another chance like this again! Did I order a ‘24? No, I think those days are over. I think the auto market is a lagging indicator of the housing market and we see what’s happening there.
I think you are close to the truth.
The flipper distress problem has already shown up with some EVs. Seems many Rivian flippers are barely covering their costs. Used car values in general are also dropping fast based on industry auction activity.
The whole Maverick ADM thing was always an absurd anomaly, especially considering it’s an economy car (a good one, but still just a commodity economy car).
The 2024 order books are still open and delivery times are getting shorter, so the incentive to pay more for used is gone. By next summer it should be back to normal where Mavericks start depreciating as soon as you drive them off the lot.
