My wife’s step-dad is retired and works for a Chevy/Cadillac dealer. We were talking about my Maverick order process one day and he mentioned one of his customers has like top trim $65k+ Tahoe or Escalade (can’t remember) that they bought 6+ months ago and doesn’t even have the heated seats...
My truck made it to Walbridge OH today in the early AM. About 2 minutes from an apartment I lived in 7 years ago. One last stop to Wayne MI eta March 14th 3am. Then hopefully on a truck within a day on its way back south to Beavercreek!
Good to hear. I did a $500 deposit. Definitely just rubbed me the wrong way with the statements of (paraphrasing) "just wanted to call ahead and mention it because if you sold your car the day before you came in for the truck, that'd be an issue -- we're expecting the trade-in because that's our...
I also was curious of the combined torque as well. The only person I’ve even seen mention it is Alex on Autos…for what it’s worth, this was his estimation:
Drake is my guy.
This is what I dug up from this thread for fellow Germain of Beavercreek customers:
@MacDee - good pricing, no extra fees or markup, accepted X-plan; October 2021 (post #179)
@Strobe - invoice price honored, $250 doc $35 tag, was offered $2k under best 3rd party trade offer...
Those were my thoughts as well! But it was still unsettling and I definitely didn't like it --- just needed to vent lol.
They never said that they would ADM it on the phone call, but I definitely stated I wasn't happy about the phone call and tried poking and prodding to see if they would say...
I ordered from Germain in June at invoice. It is due to be delivered within the next week. Just got a call from them essentially telling me that it is an expectation that I trade my current car because of the price of the Maverick and the market etc. I'm not feeling that vibe at all. They claim...
There’s been several times I’ve called and they say that (No ETA), but sometimes they do say an ETA date or location. It’s just kind of been random depending on where it’s at I guess?
My latest call just now said received at interchange (Gross Lake? Illinois) and scheduled to place to Wayne MI for March 13th at 3am. Would be an odd route. Will email my dealer tonight or tomorrow morning to see what they can tell me.
Have you heard anything further yet? I called the tracker earlier today and it said it has arrived at the Gateway Yard in Illinois around 9am that yours was at on Monday. Just wondering what the next step is for me to keep tracking. Didn't know if yours got scooped up yet by a convoy truck or if...
I've been resisting bugging my salesman, still just using the CSX tracking. It originally had an ETA awhile back to Illinois for the 7th. So I'll probably contact him when it gets to that point.
Last update from phone tracking I got was it departed West Topeka, KS last night around 10:50pm. I...
Same thing happened to a couple of people in my January 3rd build thread.
@Red Ryder ended up having his delivered to the dealer within the next day and he now has it.
@casanewt just got the email today so undetermined how that will play out as of yet
You can click their names and view...
@Mike …
The Maverick I test drove at my dealer had a different one, more like what you both have described. I’m not sure where they got it but I liked the look and texture of it. You can see it decently if you zoom in enough.
The way I see it, this is just a cheesy marketing ploy. Nothing really new to see here, just an attempt to hype [i.e. stock]. They're still going to produce ICE and EV, just as they are now. But call them their own separate businesses. It's like WWE splitting their roster into RAW and SMACKDOWN...
I'm not an expert by any means, but just trying to comprehend your fix...
Wouldn't it be good that it's welded in place, since if you were to have the tailgate in the propped position with weight on it, and say over time after hitting some bumps etc. there's no chance it self-adjusts and breaks...
