Ford ruined the escape since 2010.... emasculating its appearance every revision since Gen 1....then they tried to fix what the did with the Bronco sport..lol
Ok, now I am complaining...lol
Called _____ ford in wisconsin....listed in the ford search inventory tab for $22,900. (This is the price I am finding for 10 year old 4runners....)
I call them...they tell me it is their demo vehicle, but they can "order one for me." I ask if that one is for...
Ok....so unfortunately the maverick is still rare (even on a trip through WA and OR last week I saw 10x more than in IL).
I have never bought a used car...a bit off-topic now.
Any opinions of it Is better to get 3rd party financing or use financing at the "dealer" selling the used car (some...
I explained that I had a great, old....car that I recently had to sell.
"Complaining?"
I asked if there was a better search tool for Ford. Then I remarked how the maverick has been marked up by dealers...
Thanks...
I waited for the BSport....delayed....got a subaru.
I should have ordered a maverick, but was unsure of the whole process.
But now, needing vehicle under this economy...the timing is not going to work out, again....
I will have to look used, I guess... since there is nothing out...
I have been following the Bronco, Sport, and Maverick for a long time. My 2001 Ford escape was deemed unsafe to drive by a few repair shops...sucks!
So I need a vehicle....I am kicking myself I never ordered a maverick, but I am not comfortable with new models and new models I can't test...
…it was like the guy pointed his car directly at ours and hit.every.single.panel. ugh. Not many rental cars out there either.
My wife at a stop in the traffic line, she has no idea where the guy came from. The offender was not given a ticket, but the cop said it was obvious who hit whom. The...
So some dude sideswiped my wife in our 2018 highlander….most likely will be totaled…..it looks like Mavs are almost all spoken for …
bad timing with this sh!t economy. Is that the correct situation….mavs are sold out…..will dealers be getting any?
Thanks….sorry for the rant.
um, I never said it will “leave most people stranded,“ but whatever.
Just as I never said EV were “inferior.”
Straw man arguments....you like your full EV....have at it.
You choose lower maintenance, over redundancy....different viewpoints.
I never said they were inferior. I said IMO hybrids were the best of both worlds. Remember....this discussion started because someone said, “First hybrid for me, but I really wish it was a plug-in hybrid with a larger battery. I can't wait for the eventual Maverick EV!”
I simply asked “why?”...
1) Isn’t the range on a hybrid more than an all EV?
2) Gas is easier to store, and quicker to refill.
3) Plenty of gas stations, infrastructure isn’t there for EV yet.
4) Grid? Yeah....the grid will get more stressed the more EVs there are.
5) You can scavange gas out of other cars....that...
And what happens when the power goes out and you can’t charge the vehicle?
I don’t disagree that having the bulk of the work done by the electric side has many benefits, but if I had one vehicle I wouldn’t want it dependant on other factors like the grid, weather, supplier incompetence, etc.
Yep...
Chevrolet's Tahoe and Silverado hybrids, for example, will not operate without gas in the tank. That's right, they completely shut down if they run out of gas – no limping to a gas station on the battery, even if it's fully charged. We know this because we tried it; thankfully, we were...
