What if everyone had just ordered at 4% below invoice and all Mavericks were delivered through a single dealer?

Edmunds used to have a Tru value tool to see actual prices paid in your area. Used it a couple of times, but that was years ago.I miss the old version of TruCar.com which used to show invoice price and the range of purchase prices in your area. That helped me a lot when I bought 2 vehicles in 2016 and 2017.
The salesman said 18 people called about it when I was coming there to buy it was not planning to buy a car that day but I didWe probably just missed each other at the dealer then! I was a first week build myself but it was held a week or two at the plant for the spray in bed liner.
I think the early orders (June - Aug 2021) were offered the better discounts before most people heard of a Maverick truck. I ordered mine on 7/5/21. I knew a salesman, and he was able to get me an X-Plan price.I've had my great little truck for almost a year and a half - love it! I know MSRP is still a solid deal for anyone buying a new vehicle today (not just the Maverick). With that said, I couldn't fathom paying some of the very high markups that are out there, but I can understand the decision to pay more in the current environment.
This isn't really an ask about why any one particular person paid how much they did, I'm just genuinely curious to see what people are paying - how many are under, at or over MSRP when they walk out the dealer door.
That is great! With a trade-in the buying process can be a bit of a shell game, as long as it makes sense on both the trade and buy to you as a buyer, that is all that is necessary!paid $2700 over and got really good money on my trade that offset it. I have one on order and it's a hybrid. if I waited till I got the hybrid my trade will be worth way lower. No regrets and loving every minute I am in it
I feel like any time folks talk about this, someone comes in with this take.I guess my generation (Baby Boomers) must have a different culture when it comes to talking to others about how much we paid for something. So, my answer would be NYB (not your business or none of your business). Or, if your vocabulary contains some vulgar words, add another letter before the B. I carried this on from my father. I never knew how much his salary was or how much he paid for something.
Therefore, I had no place to check on the price listing.
Any others like their privacy or am I the only one different than everyone else?
Talking about things - money, work, life in general - is always the better path. 44 and still just learning how important that is.I feel like any time folks talk about this, someone comes in with this take.
And I guess I'm left wondering... if you're not comfortable talking about it, why chime in at all? No one is forcing anyone to answer anything.
Honestly though, America's collective shame over money has led to nothing but folks being taken advantage of. If you don't talk about your salaries, how do you know you're being underpaid? If you don't talk about how much people are charging for things, how do you know if you're paying a fair price?
But again, if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. It's weird trying to make other folks feel bad for about talking about it though.
I was raised to believe it isn't polite to ask someone how much they paid for something, what their salary is, or how big their bonus was... I was also taught that it was downright rude to tell someone else they overpaid for something. You can't walk in their shoes, so there is no way to know whether it was a good or bad decision for them. You might not make the same decision, but that is your decision, not theirs.I guess my generation (Baby Boomers) must have a different culture when it comes to talking to others about how much we paid for something.

My out the door was quoted by the dealer at about $31,600 - XLT - msrp with a few dealer installed junk. This was before the price hike. At this point, I don't know what to expect?I was raised to believe it isn't polite to ask someone how much they paid for something, what their salary is, or how big their bonus was...

I'm fairly sure, @Spook, that you and I are a shrinking minority, though... These days, people post pictures their lunch - as though anyone else cares...
