I really enjoyed reading your great story that you pass on to all of us who think we know how to deal with salespeople. Yes, we have all been there, since we are owners of Mavericks who had to face the enemy in the last couple of years. I'm sure if I read this story before signing on the...
I also had a 1986 Hyundai Excel, piece of junk, later I had a 2000 Hyundai Elantra wagon, much better car, my last Hyundai was a 2015 Sonata Limited, that I sold to Carvana when I ordered my 2022 hybrid Lariat Maverick!
That's because it doesn't have any electronics in it. All the new vehicles have systems you can't fix. They have to be replaced, and cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. P.S. my 1956 Thunderbird doesn't need an ESP either. I got a ESP from Granger, because when my Mav is say, 7 years...
I agree completely with you. There isn't much cost difference on savings with either choice. I would get which drive train came standard with my Maverick. Paying $1500 upgrade for a hybrid, would take you many years to break even.
I didn't know they were giving rebates, or loyalty bonus deals. You would have to go to your dealer and ask about that. Second though, maybe that's a way to lure you in?
First of all, what makes you think you have to replace the HVB at 100K? Most hybrids go over 200K without losing much degrading. Next, if you look on EBay, used HVB batterys from low mileage wrecks, sell for $1000-$1400. It's the batterys from EV's that cost $12000 and up!
I would not worry at all. My Maverick is starting it's 5th year with lots of time in sleep mode, but always starts after many days not driven. Yes the interior lights are off when I open the door, but push the start button, (Lariat) and everthing turns on. Only has 12K miles so it sleeps a...
With the cost of todays parts, and labor, almost any repair with hit the $1k mark with no problem! I'm sure knowing I only have to pay $100 to fix a problem with a hybrid vehicle, I'll keep it for 10 years worry free about repairs.
I answered many posts on this subject, so I'll give you my advice. Unless you plan to sell your Maverick when it's less then 5 years old, I would get a 10 year policy from Granger Ford. All policys start on the day your truck is first registered, which means a 5 year policy is realy only a 2...
You sound like a tough guy to deal with, I wish I had your power not to fold when dealing with sales people. I settle with both parties happy I guess, that way, everyone wins. I know I won being an early buyer of the Maverick when they first came out fully loaded Lariat under $32,400 OTD.
Get a fast quote from Carvana, they will give you a check when they pick up your car. No hassling with buyers looking to finance, or dealers low ball offer on trade ins. Carvana gives you 10 days to decide if you want there offer, rep comes to see vehicle, hands you a check, and sends a truck...
You think time went fast? I'm into my 5th year with my Maverick, and it still looks brand new so no one knows how old it is. Time does fly by as quickly as a wink, so enjoy your self, enjoy your self, it's later then you think!
Welcome to our forum, the Maverick will be a great vehicle for you in Argentina. Buying a 2025 was a good move for you because most of the earlier problems were fixed by then. Going with an Ecoboost also was a smart move!
