  1. Well, I guess it could be worse (Accident). $8K repair estimate

    Actually turns out that my insurance only pays out 110% of my '23 MSRP. With the jump up between 23 and 24, it's out of range. Been fun guys. Enjoy your mavvies, and watch out for other people.
  2. A testimonial to the Maverick emergency safety technology

    I wish you the very best of luck. Mine took a hit like that and ended up totaled. If that happens, and insurance sends you a report from 'CCC' that says it's worth a couple thousand less than it really was, I'd fight like a madman against it.
  3. Well, I guess it could be worse (Accident). $8K repair estimate

    So, I figure I'd drop a little note here about how it's going trying to get back into another Mavvy. the answer is... not great. My truck, being judged a total loss, is off to the junkyard or rebuilder. I was smart (I thought) and bought "New Car Replacement Plus" coverage. I researched...
  4. Well, I guess it could be worse (Accident). $8K repair estimate

    So for anyone curious: This is the level of damage necessary to render a Maverick a total loss. Went today to collect my plates, straps, cargo net, Tonneau (which I negotiated to keep), and docs with personal info. Now just waiting on a check and a hearty "good luck" with finding a new one.
  5. Well, I guess it could be worse (Accident). $8K repair estimate

    Welp, Just got word from the repair shop. they are saying that the damage underneath was significantly worse than anticipated, and that my repair estimate is up to $22,000. I guess we know what that means. I'll write back here if I get confirmation, but it looks like I might be looking for a...
  6. Well, I guess it could be worse (Accident). $8K repair estimate

    My state (SC) allows me to file a claim for Loss of Value, so after repair I'll probably do that. The appraisal cost will be out of pocket, but I figure that this is going to cause the value to drop a couple of thousand. Glad you're ok. I agree, this is the painful part. Be sure, if your state...
  7. Well, I guess it could be worse (Accident). $8K repair estimate

    Not that stoked about: 1. Waiting another year 2. paying the new model upcharge
  8. Well, I guess it could be worse (Accident). $8K repair estimate

    Did you make this post at exactly 4:20 EST?
  9. Well, I guess it could be worse (Accident). $8K repair estimate

    Note the 'gap' on either side of the tailgate. The cubby got thrown open and my bungees went 'a-flyin'.
  10. Well, I guess it could be worse (Accident). $8K repair estimate

    Welp, right after putting 6,000 miles in, this happened. I can't be angry with the guy that hit us: he was having a "medical issue". What I am a little sore about is the fact that the hit took out my entire rear-end safety system and camera. Plus, when they did the damage estimate, I was told...
  11. Happy New Year! How much did your KBB drop?

    When we traded my wife's last car (Rogue for CRV) at a KIA stealership, the value according to KBB was $11,800. Dealer offered us $8,000. I told the guy what the KBB value was, and he responded with "Kelley Blue Book ain't never wrote a check or sold a car at auction". (Yes, I'm in the US...
  12. Rail Glitter?

    So I took possession of mine on Aug 3rd. Super easy transaction, everything in great shape based on all of the checklists. The only thing I noticed was when I closed the tailgate for the first time, there was the sound of metal falling through cracks. I've had enough 'northern' vehicles to...
  13. Build->Delivery Timing & my unique situation

  14. Build->Delivery Timing & my unique situation

    So, like many I finally got my initial build week assignment for the week of July 3rd. Yay...but; I'm going to be out of town (actually off-continent) from July 10th thru the 18th, and my dealer (Charlotte, NC area) has said they are expecting payment/pickup within 3 days of delivery. With a...

  16. What do you say to family, friends & co-workers that see you as a complete moron for putting up with this maverick debacle?

    Depending on the person asking: 1. You're So right! Let me go drop $50,000+ on a new F150 with similar options. Not. 2. At least I'm going to have instant equity when it shows up. 3. I'm not worried. I love working on my Altima. 4. I know, right? Crazy, haha. 5. Am I crazy? 6. I mean a...
