weeeelllll, I just bought an x l t Maverick with a FX4 package Area 51 for $5,000 over MSRP..... Very much against my beliefs, but I have a hybrid on order that I should receive some time in the next three years and I'll just sell one and hopefully I won't have to eat too much money out of it. Just got tired of driving that shity Ranger and waiting for news on the hybrid I ordered in October.
By the way in this area they're few and far between, and they're all marked up between 5000 and $15,000 right now
It may actually turn out to be a bargain if everything stays as tight as it is
Well i guess 6K is not that bad considering the markups i see at cars.com

In the end if you are comfortable with the price and happy with your purchase that's all that matters.
One thing people don't understand, the dealer markups are happening because the dealerships have to make up for lost volume. Sure, some are price gouging a bit but high prices also serve a valuable purpose - they preserve supply for people willing to pay more. If every mav was priced at msrp there would be none on the lots no matter how desperate you were for a new truck. High prices also signal to other manufacturers that there is money to be made and that they should jump into the segment, which increases supply and viola! prices go down.
Enjoy your nice new truck!

lmao so after they did the initial intake, dealer informed me it's part of the gas tank recall (all I could hear is that sound from the price is right when someone lost their game) so now my wait begins for whatever parts they say it needs. Looking at a early to mid February delivery. After taking a look at the recall thread, sounds like they need to visually inspect and pressure test, if it passes they have single use bolts that need to get replaced, if it fails its a gas tank replacement and who knows how long that would take. Once I've taken a breath from looking at Maverick's I'll likely put out some feelers with dealers receiving Mav's to see if I could get a better deal but the dealership swears this one is mine till it's ready.

You asked what is "nonsense", that's the definition of nonsense. I was trying to add a little humor, not pick a fight. Sorry if you're offended.

All things considered ,If you want the truck buy it ! With production ceasing on all Mavericks their value will at least stay where they are and probably go up. I here you! I have bought more 20 new cars and never paid sticker . A Lariat hybrid is rare. I do not know your financial situation .I would go down to the dealer with my checkbook .And say I am here right now and ready to give you a big deposit and completely put the deal to bed right now sign all paperwork and we are DONE. Try to get them to shave $1000 or 2 off. Little know fact Dealers love to make end of the month deals to boost their monthly numbers . you might get lucky and shave a little off . worth a try go in person ,not over the phone
You have a nice 2 year old so you don’t need a Maverick so bad that you’re will to let a dealer steal the equity your built up in your Subaru. Be patient, remember you are the customer they need you you don’t need them. Look for another dealer with no ADM’s to find what you want and if you can’t find it wait til August and build exactly what you want. There are dealer who will sell at MSRP and ship it to you for free. Don’t be a victim be a customer with boundaries,
