Dealer ordered a 2023 maverick after my 2022 was built

[captredbeard]

Hello everybody, longtime lurker, first time poster!

My October hybrid order was finally built a few weeks ago before the order banks opened for 2023. On the same day I was notified it was ready to be shipped I received another email stating that my 2023 order had been received. It was for a very similar build although missing the spray in liner. My first thought was that either they didn't notice my 2022 order was in process of being built so they did me a "favor" by submitting a 2023 build without asking me, or they are just trying to play dumb to get themselves another Maverick to sell next year.

What do you all think? Should I try to use this as leverage to get better deal on trade in and let them have the 2023? If I wanted to buy the 2023 would I still get the special offer? I was initially bummed about getting a 2022 so late in the year but am glad to keep the price and financing from before.

You could just sell the 2023. I am still waiting for my 2022 base hybrid XL to be built hopefully on October 10, but I ordered a 2023 to sell when it comes in next June, July, August, September, …..

Or you could call Ford Customer Service and find out what's going on. The dealer isn't going to give you a better deal if they're trying to pad their inventory. It could be that the dealer reuse customer order numbers and some schlep got your old number. So the Ford system is recognizing the old email address and info.
If the dealer is pulling a fast one on Ford Motor I'd let them know about it after I closed my deal.

Take the 22 and depending on your financial situation try to be in a position to qualify for loans on both. Or preferably pay cash for the one you wish to sell in order to sell it faster and easier. Depending on buyer he may want physical possession of paper title in exchange for his $$$.

I would wait until you actually have your 2022 to do anything. Occasionally trucks will get damaged in shipping or just get lost or who knows what else could happen.

Bank error in your favor.

The 2023 might be a year out so let it be for now. In any case, giving that order back will probably give them 20k ADM. If they can flip a truck why not you? That will lower your cost of the one you decide to keep. Choices are good to have.
A lot of people with 2022s are planning to sell that one and keep their updated 2023.
