I ordered one Friday and it was discounted 4% off MSRP plus my trade in value, the DOC fee was $199.. I downsized from an F150 Lariat 2014. I ordered a Hybrid Lariat with the First Edition Package. They offered me $28,000 on my truck with 52,500 miles. I didn't want to sell it later because of the tax savings of almost $2K. I have another vehicle, my wife's!
Yep, me! I am without a truck, but have another vehicle to get me by.
After ordering my Mav in June, I sold my 2019 Ranger in July for pretty much what I paid for it two years earlier. I thought that inflated used car prices would very soon go bye-bye. But they didn't; they're still here.I'm a little apprehensive trading in my Escape. It has relatively low miles. It's like do I really want to trade something in that will be paid off in a couple years to take on a new car? Sometimes it's about what you want vs what you really need. I wasn't even thinking about trading my Escape in until I was at the dealers getting some wheels put on and I saw a Maverick sitting outside. Seriously if the dealers weren't offering me an insane amount of money for my trade in, I wouldn't even have considered it. But when they are offering me like $3k less than what I paid for it new 3-1/2 years ago, it's hard to pass up. High trade in values on used cars probably won't last. They are predicting they will start to drop around the beginning of summer.
That is a great looking Escape! If the Escape is meeting all your needs, itās a matter of going into debt again. Of course if you are like me and do trade today, will you be able to go for a period of time without a replacement? I was told 10 to 12 week wait. But reading this forum, folks ordered in June 2021 are just now receiving them. Soā¦.can you do without your Escape?I'm a little apprehensive trading in my Escape. It has relatively low miles.

Thanks. It's a base S model so it has the 2.5L motor and FWD. I only have a bit over 31K on it now. The wheels as you may have noticed are the style used on the 2013-2016's. I didn't like the newer 17" wheels on the 2017-2019. I like it's simplicity. No start stop. No electronic safety gadgets. It even has a CD player (they omitted them in the Escapes for 2019 & up).
Yup. Like you, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to sell my pick-up when the selling was good. I ordered the Mav in June and sold the pick-up in July, getting pretty much what I paid for it two years earlier. Delivery of my Mav is scheduled for the first week in Feb (fingers-crossed!). Will say two things. First, my wife and I are blessed to have 4 other vehicles to use during the long wait. This was important given that the expected Oct 2021 delivery got pushed back 4 months. Second, I've learned just how much I miss having a pick-up truck! It's so damn useful, covering most every aspect of domestic life.
I'm keeping my 05 Celica that I've pretty much driven like I will the Mav. 2k towing, added a trailer hitch, harbor freight trailer, hauled crap to Nascar and Football games, lumber, insulation. It's amazing what you can fit in that hatchback.
