This is why I stopped by the dealer yesterday and talked with the sales manager. To see what my options might be. I told them I recently purchased another vehicle because I had received no information from Ford telling me if it would be next week or next November. My current vehicle was on its...
If I buy it, then I have to pay the sales tax to the state and then carmax/carvana has to buy it from me, etc. Lot of paperwork, credit inquiries and time involved.
My thought was to simplify things by finding a buyer for my maverick coming in and then whoever wants to buy it, work directly...
If you read my previous post, you would understand that I'm not pimping information.
I have a Maverick coming in mid December that I ordered in January. I've never driven one or even seen one up close. So I have no idea if I will like it more or less than the Sportage HEV I bought a month ago...
But yet they will pay a dealer markup of 5k? And don't say people aren't doing it. If they weren't, then the dealers either wouldn't be charging it OR there would be Mavericks sitting on lots all over the place.
Also, it doesn't have to be 3K. It can be $100 or $0.
Like I said, I'm open...
My apolgies to all for sounding like a sleazy dealer.
that was definitely not my intention.
my goal here is allow someone to possibly get a maverick at 2022 prices without waiting an unknown amount of time or for those that weren’t even able to get an order in for a 2023 and may have to wait up...
Thats right. I placed an order for my Maverick in January and heard nothing from Ford or the dealer when I went in to reorder for 2023 in September. My salesguy was out so I basically told the used car manager to just have the new car manager reorder the same as my 22 was. He did and sent me...
Definitely NOT!!. but with a towing capacity of 2K on a Sportage Hybrid, could do easily in a small trailer. Which I would need anyway to tow my 4 Wheeler.
I’m in this same dilemma. I had ordered a maverick xlt eco with all the packages back in January and never heard anything from ford or the dealer about getting scheduled for 22. So I recently test drove a sportage EX hybrid and loved the smoothness and almost luxury interior and large info...
Like others have mentioned. As long as you like it, that's all the matters. I appreciate the ingenuity to make it "your own" and I totally get that $6.50/gallon sucks.
I live in the northeast where AWD has its benefits.
I also WFH, so I maybe put 5,000miles/year on my vehicle. so gas price...
Am I the only one that doesn't get it? Why order a front wheel drive hybrid and then put AT tires on it to lose 2 MPG? The point of AT tires is to give more grip to all 4 corners when climbing off road. Seems like you went out of your way to make this LOOK like an off road vehicle, when it...
I think we are all missing the true constraint here.... $$$$.
Mavericks are Fords cheapest vehicle with most like the smallest profit margin for Ford.
In todays uncertain climate, if they are only getting in 10,000 computer chips a week, would you put those chips in a $25K Maverick or a...
thanks. I’ve got my selection down to the fallen wild peak trails, the at3w’s or the vredestein pinza at’s. I feel like I should go with the trails or pinzas as 98% of my driving will be on paved roads.
Does anyone know if its legal to put a vanity plate of something like the US flag on the side opposite your standard license plate?
I know in PA where we don't require a front license plate, you are allowed to put whatever plate you want on the front. Since this is the first vehicle I've...
I'm amazed by how many of the Alto Blue trucks in this thread have the FX4 package. By far more AB's with FX4 than any other color I've seen.. Surprise, Surprise. Thats what I ordered to.
XLT with all the packages + moonroof. First thing to upgrade is the tires. truck looks SOOO much...
I agree. I can't say EXACTLY what it is doing, but I have a 2012 VW Jetta that has always done this as well since I bought it. (still waiting on my mav). But this is normal operation for modern vehicles. I also hear similar whirs and clicks after I park the car in my garage and turn it off...
How did you get the SprayIn Bed Liner? I thought Ford discontinued that based on supply constraints? I was originally Alto, then switched to Silver. May switch back.
Or that it got cancelled, while the dealer sells it to someone else willing to give them $5K over sticker (or more). Its happening all over the country sadly. good luck though.
Do you have any lift on your truck? most commonly I see people go with the 245/65/17s with no lift and 245/70/17s on the 2 inch lift. Just wondering if your's is stock and if so, do you have any rubbing on the inner fender housing at full turn? thanks.
