Lol I'm pretty sure this is a joke. It's because of the ridiculous hike in price over MSRP.

It is not a joke…

I mean to each their own I guess. I would rather get a Ridgeline/Ranger/Colorado/Tacoma for that money. Or wait 3-4 months for a 2.0 Maverick for $10k less.

I ordered the hybrid, bedliner, moonroof, you know everything that will keep it from being built until 2023

Hard pass.

Easy pass for me

Cons: Expensive, poor gas mileage, limited utility, and fugly.
Pros: Good warranty and fancy interior.
Analysis: Nope.

Don't count on the warranty. My wife has a 2015 Kia Soul (same company/warranty) and we have had to fight tooth-and-nail to cover her oil burning 2.0 GDI. The dealer wouldn't OK it (without a $500 "try and fix" first) and then sent me to Kia consumer affairs. A year and a half later (and a class action lawsuit covering the issue) it still hasn't been resolved. The warranty is only as good as the company behind it.

This is about like me shopping for a Telluride earlier this year for my wife. The dealership started off by telling me there is a slight markup because it's in high demand...the mark up was 10k

The greed of some of these dealers has no bounds!!!

In six months, unless they drop the price drastically. They'll be a lot of SC's rusting on the dealer's lots.

As soon as the Maverick's production gets its legs. The competition will be over before it ever starts!

MSRP vs. QUOTE

Who is with me???

Good luck! Certainly not for me especially at that price!

Maple vs Corn syrup?
Meat vs Tofu?

If a substitution is good enough for you instead of the real thing ...

Go for it !

Good luck with that POS that will be hopeless as a "truck". The Mav is bare bones but at least it'll haul something when I need to, and is cheap. You can buy a real truck for that kind of money, instead of something that will be worthless in a few years.

Or wait 3-4 months for a Santa Cruz for $10K less... lol! There's no way this car buying craze bubble can last forever. We bought our Ram for around $10K off MSRP, so I'm sure those days will come back eventually. I'm hoping that by February hopefully supply chain issues are resolved, people will have blown all the money burning a hole in their pocket over Christmas and New Years, and dealerships will be more full again.

I wish I had bought a used car I was looking at back when dealerships could hardly give them away. They were asking around $14K, but now the same ones are around $21K. I could have bought it, had my fun, and just resold it at a profit now.

I posted earlier that there are dealerships in my area only asking for MSRP. So he is getting taken for a ride at that dealership. Would definitely shop around if looking at the Santa Cruz.
