Are maverick prices due to crash?

[Decayed]

Just traded away my mav and did OK on it. KBB and Carfax had it as trading higher than I was ever offered in trade by 3 different dealers even after some negotiating. KBB's average trade value dropped $1k in a week while I was shopping.

I just read on another thread that Ford only got like 6k pre-orders for 2025. If this is true, it means supply has caught up with demand. THAT means prices are set to drop across the board unless Ford reduces production.

When I first got my '22, Carvana was offering people like $5k over what they paid and a IIRC few people here said they took the deal. Now Carvana made the lowest offer of anyone. Their prices crashed a while ago but it was enough to make me think that the used market for mavs is changing a lot. This will tend to drive new prices down as well.

I feel like I got out just before the used prices take a nose dive.

Anyone seeing anything to confirm or deny this?

I accepted a trade-in value just over what Carvana was offering, because in IL you only pay sales tax on the new vehicle minus the value of the trade in. That alone can add a couple grand to the offer.

The Maverick has been out for 3 model years and was released on the tail end of pandemic supply chain craziness. Most of that has stabilized, a lot of the buyers for Mavericks have one already, and interest rates have helped consumer demand to wane across the board. I don't think what's happening is anything extraordinary; pretty normal actually. There was hype, now there isn't. Soon the Maverick will be just like every other Ford model on the lot and all of this hand-wringing about market value will mercifully cease.

with all the hoopla and adulation about the 25 AWD hybrid option that 6K number does not seem right at all, there were plenty on the sidelines just waiting for that option, quite a few others who swore they'd trade in their eco or Hybrid for it..

The 6k is accurate as of last week. I am one of those 6k, and as you can tell from my signature block, I am going to be upgrading from a XL EcoBoost AWD to an XLT Hybrid AWD.

The thing is when you click on Maverick on the Ford site it’s still the 24. I’m guessing a lot of people don’t realize they can build and order a 25 yet.

Guessing many informed customers waiting until the protrailer assist function is available as well.

Prices have already crashed from their all time highs last year. Overall however anyone who paid MSRP in 2022 and 2023 will do fine with trade in.

Yep.

I think a few things are going on.
* Ford has raised the entry level price by a ton so the value equation is off now.
* Economy is bad inflation is high so less people buying new.
* Bunch of Mavericks on Ford lots now. (mostly $38K Lariats)

There also are a number of current owners, like myself, who had planned on ordering a 2025 model, but changed their minds after seeing the awkward front redesign. That, and the elimination of the center dash controls was a deal-breaker for me, not to mention the huge price increases.

I respect everyone's right and desire to order whatever they please according to their own needs and circumstances ... IMHO, I believe that - at today's (2025) current prices - the only Maverick that makes (value) sense ordering is a Hybrid XL.

I say that after owning and selling a 2022 Hybrid XL, 2023 Hybrid XLT, and 2024 EB XLT. Currently I own a 2024 Hybrid XL.

I will not be ordering a 2025. The value proposition has greatly diminished.

Prices and interest rates are up, so I would expect slower sales. A lot of people like myself look at the new price vs. the small amount left on my current loan and paying a higher rate on 2025 and just decide it's not worth it.

If you scroll down on the ford site, you can also build a 25' Maverick & a few other 25' models.

Yes, but this is not clear to someone who doesn't know about it.....which is the point of their post. The "default" Maverick is still the 2024 model, which is ridiculous since the order banks are closed for 2024.

All you have to do is scroll and look, not really a difficult task.
