  1. Model 3 to Maverick - A 3 Year Journey, A shady dealer?

    Great catch, but for me the loss was not that bad b/c I bought the vehicle with a huge discount. The depreciation hit for me was only 10k. I got the vehicle for net 30k after 7.5k tax incentive + ~ 4k of Tesla discounts. They were marking these down big time ahead of the refreshed M3’s; that’s...
  2. Model 3 to Maverick - A 3 Year Journey, A shady dealer?

    *Update* I emailed the GM and he extended the warranty by 1k miles and provided 1 yr of free oil changes. He will also be providing me the details of the service history. Assuming there isn’t anything major there, I think this is fair compensation although I wish they would’ve been more...
  3. Model 3 to Maverick - A 3 Year Journey, A shady dealer?

    Part of the reason I put out the post was to get more information from folks like yourself : ) If my warranty was extended accordingly by 900 miles, I think that would help ease my concerns. I understand and partially agree with your overall sentiment, however my issue is not necessarily the...
  4. Model 3 to Maverick - A 3 Year Journey, A shady dealer?

    I was satisfied with the deal overall, and to your point, probably eager to get out of the M3. Yes, I saw the mileage and decided to purchase. I guess after waiting this long, I was ok with the mileage and just wanted to get the deal done. I should’ve not signed and called sales manager right...

  6. Model 3 to Maverick - A 3 Year Journey, A shady dealer?

    - The vehicle was listed and officially sold as new - When signing paperwork, the odometer/number of miles states 900+ miles - You will never buy a vehicle with 0 miles on it, usually around ~100 or so. -Despite the mileage, I decided to move forward and purchase the vehicle (perhaps a...
  7. Model 3 to Maverick - A 3 Year Journey, A shady dealer?

    Intro It happened.. after 3 years of patiently waiting.. it happened - I finally landed a Ford Maverick! Got a 2025, hybrid, Xlt, fwd, lux, cp360 in Oxford White. Forewarning, this is going to be a long post, but I think it’s an interesting story and some good info/analysis along the way. Also...
  8. To flip or not to flip

    Honestly, the Tesla Model 3 is perfect for what I need right now (daily commuting in the city). I just wanted a truck because 1.) I am a Texan 2.) Utility to move stuff around 3.) My daughter is getting a bigger (3 years old now) and it would be good to have vehicle for sports equipment...

    I did and they wouldn’t tell me how much they would pay me! lol oh well..

    Yeah, for 3k and getting the vehicle you ultimately wanted it’s all good. You needed something to drive while you waited. My L would be 7-8k and honestly the model 3 suites my needs fine. Thanks for the feedback.
  11. To flip or not to flip

    Agreed, thanks for the feedback! I thought I could have made a couple k (which is possible) but the risk & profit margin don’t make sense.
  12. To flip or not to flip

    Thanks very much! This was my main concern and I don’t think the numbers make sense at 10-12%
  13. To flip or not to flip

    Yes, I did factor that in with the 2.5k reduction, but even still I am looking to gain only a couple grand… starting to realize the risk/reward isn’t worth it.
  14. To flip or not to flip

    Thanks for the feedback.
  15. To flip or not to flip

    Thanks!
  16. To flip or not to flip

    *Update* Thanks for all the quick feedback. Y’all helped me see there was not enough reward for the risk associated. I ordered an XL at the same time, so hopefully I can just buy that one when it comes in! So I ordered a Maverick Xlt Hybrid with Lux package and co-pilot360 and it finally came...
