We have ended our Maverick relationship

[ychuck46]

We contacted Carvana this week and sold our 2022 Maverick hybrid to them. Settled on $24K. We had a good three years (almost) with it and put 23K miles on it, so we were happy with the deal (it was just the stock hybrid model with the XLT package; nothing elaborate that would raise the initial cost a lot over the original $19,999 list price). It went very smoothly with everything on line, we dropped it off, they put an OBD reader on it for a bit and found no issues, and gave us our check. So our Maverick days are over.

But wait, there's more. We have a new 2025 Maverick hybrid on order. Since we didn't absolutely need the 2022 for the next few months, and I was worried about being t-boned and getting nowhere near $24K from the insurance company, we thought it would be better to be safe than sorry. So I'll continue to lurk on here until our new ride comes in, and hope for the best for everyone no matter what year or ride you have in the Mav family.

I have no idea what a used Mav goes for, but $24K sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

Another reason why I wanted to pull the plug now was that I felt there is a risk that the used prices for Mavs might drop as more and more units are sold. Ford released their quarterly earnings this week and while disappointing they had one bright spot - hybrid truck sales specifically were up another 32% in the quarter. Since few F-150 hybrids are sold we are talking the Mav contributing almost totally to that increase. We originally had intended to trade it in during December but why wait and run the risk that the price offered might drop $1K or so.

XLT would have been at least $23K new. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/maverick-price-progression.55587/#post-945433
Still a good deal.
Basic well cared for trucks hold their resale. Back in '96 I when I bought my last new Ranger, a good condition 2-3 year old used was not substantially cheaper than new for the basic trim level.

A conscious uncoupling, eh?

I hope I get 24-25k for mine on trade in when my 25 comes in. I have low miles (currently 5600).

Try both Carvana and CarMax. They might be the same or one slightly better. Worth the try. With those low miles you should do better than we did.

I got 26.5 for my '22 XLT AWD w/ 37k miles when I traded in at end of July.

I bought my '22 XLT Hybrid for $26k out the door. Carvana offered me $24k with 40k miles on it a couple weeks ago.

I'm in the same boat as you, except I NEED mine until the new one shows up. I think if Carvana/Carmax/Ford all drop a few thousand, I could probably sell it privately for $24k.

We should all enjoy these times. Sooner or later vehicles will return to dropping $10k in value the minute you drive it off the lot.

this is sound logic, in particular: if the hybrid awd is as popular as I expect it to the be, fwd variants will decrease more in value than they otherwise would.

I am not sure about the $24k valuation, but I am sure you sold at a good time versus waiting 6+ months later.

Hmmm... So you're not really ending the relationship then. You're doubling down actually.

Why the clickbaity title, I thought we regular users were better than that ?

I came here for a dumpster fire and I have to say I was a bit disappointed.

also Driveway.com and KBB
(I think most of the other ones are kaput - like Shift and Vroom)

A setup for my second paragraph, to show how happy we are with the Mav family. So happy we are buying a new one. Don't see the issue; did you just want to see someone complain? Not my style.
