Any benefit to MY24 over MY23?

[rowka]

Background:
I ordered 3 Hybrid Mavs in Sept 2022 (no deposit, no commitment, dealer suggested multiples might increase chance of being built, and if multiples came in, dealer suggested I could refuse, oe even buy and turn right around and sell it back to them at a profit).

They never got built, and I ordered 2 rollover Hybrid Mavs in July 2023, and got the confirmation from Ford with the rollover priority code. Never did get the Persona Price Protection thing...

Well, In Aug of 2023, my dealer had a customer refusal for a 2023 with almost the EXACT build details I wanted (even Area 51, which was discontinued in MY24, but added CoP360, which I didn't want. Turns out I like it) at MSRP, so I jumped on it.

Well, the two MY24 rollover trucks I ordered are in. It seems the market for these have cooled down a lot and the flip opportunities have passed.
Other than a reset on my warranty, is there any reason to trade in for a second choice color and no 360?

24 deleted heated windshield wipers and the keypad. Otherwise the same truck.

If you don’t have a $3400 private offer certificates then you might as well stick with what you got.

MY24 is just more expensive with less options. Keep what you have.

If identically the same, all you are doing is resetting its resell value (as a MY24 built a week after a MY23 would hold a slight edge in resell value), but that would likely be offset by the trade in.

Personally, I'd punt.

Ya I wouldn’t take the new ones. Also F your dealer. Dealers like them are the reason orders like mine don’t get built in a reasonable time. They pumped out two orders that will be dealer stock. Not just the one you wanted.
But they seem to be at least trying to get you what you want at a fair price and reasonable time. So I take it back.
They are not all bad.

I still haven’t memorized my keypad code.

It’s funny how those crafty thieves memorize it better than we do.

Depends on if it's an educated shopper. Similar mileage and I'd pick a 23 without the removed features over a 24 that cost more as well.

Absolutely not, unless you really hate the truck you have now and like wasting money and paying sales tax & registration twice.

Thanks all. I’m gonna keep the one I got.

No, keep what you have! There’s little to no change between even the ‘22 and ‘24!
