Yeah, I'm within your range with credit scores as well and 5.5% would make me walk away from the deal. Highest I've ever gone in even with iffy med/high credit scores was 2.9%.
This is a fine example of working hard to maintain a stellar credit score and getting screwed by dealerships, just...
If that's the going finance rate for the Maverick right now, I'd leave it on the lot. You buying a truck or a dang house? Funk that. For my '22 my percentage rate was 1.9%. Ain't no way I'd buy a truck at 7%!
I have zero issues with my CB Maverick. However, at this time of year the summer storms are keeping it washed almost daily, and the only time it was dirty as hell was back in March when I took a road trip up to NC.
I took my Maverick in for the airbag recall and it sat in the dealership ALL DAY without being worked on. Went to pick it up after work and they told me they "couldn't get to it." Got my truck back and it reeked of sweaty, oily mechanics. After some back and forth and not being able to get a...
Even though the Ranchero was produced through 1979, I don't remember seeing a lot of them around as a kid (I would have been 10 in 1979; more interested in horses than cars back then. ;) )
I DO remember the Maverick as a car - my neighbors had a green one and, later, a silver one.
I find El...
I'm glad I'm not the only one pulling some really decent mileage out of my FWD EB. Twice so far on the back roads of GA I've pulled an astonishing 39mpg.
We call those "road gators" here in Florida. Had a similar experience with my 2002 Civic driving in FL back in the day. Hit the front end, slapped around on the underbody, and came out on the rear, smacking my rear bumper leaving it cracked in half.
I gotta say, the CoPilot 360 is the SHIZZ!
I had a good line of vision in my Honda Accord, but I think the higher seating position in the Maverick gives me a better overall view, and I'm no longer driving a manual trans, which I miss sometimes but the Maverick is just so much better to drive.
Curious if anyone else received a letter from Ford with an emissions sticker that gets placed on top of the sticker presently in their engine compartment?
Made appointment to take care of the airbag recall. Dealership kept truck all day; received my truck back and they hadn't touched it. Had...
I can't speak for the rear-ending/collisions, but I will say that as a Maverick driver, it seems I've had to do far more avoidance/defensive driving since becoming an owner, and have used the horn in my Maverick far more than any previous vehicle I've driven. Not sure if more people are just too...
The thing with Corollas, whether gas or hybrid models, is that it's a tried and true product. Corollas have been around since Moses was a boy, and Toyota has been killing it with their hybrids regardless of model. Not surprised you're keeping the Corolla. Seems like there's been a number of...
None of us purchased the truck as a luxury vehicle. In the words of Monty Python, "Leave it alone, give it a rest!"
Like many, I bought this truck because it's affordable. Don't screw up the concept by turning the Maverick into something it isn't. The entry level $19,995 (I know this will...
I love my CG, and was considering placing an order for a '24...also in CG. (Boring, but...whatevs!) I like the generally black/blue interior of the XL, which I will order again but maybe the next truck will be Hot Pepper Red. Blue cars have been bad luck for me.
