I ran my Maverick XL Ecoboost AWD 4K tow through Carvana's website to see what they would offer me.
More than $11,000 more than i paid for it. Should I sell?

Your math is way way off because if you take $33,163 and subtract $11,000 you get $22,163 as the out-the-door price for a Maverick EcoBoost AWD XL with the 4k tow package.

From the August 2021 price list :

XL $19,995
adding AWD $3,305
adding 4K Tow Package $745
Destination and Delivery Charge $1,495

Total is $25,540

Now add in the Florida sales tax of 6% ($1,532.40), the sky high Florida document fee of $995 and other fees of $77 and $248

https://caredge.com/guides/car-dealer-doc-fee-by-state

and you get the real out the door price of $28,392.40

So that $11,000 that you thought was over what you paid for is more like $4,770.60

I did way better on price than the numbers you used. You are right about tax, tag and title costs.

Exactly. I did the same thing with my Mac and they offered 8K more than I paid for it. But like you say, then what?
Wait a year until the economy takes a dump.

Why not? You already flipped at least one just like it. Seems to have been your intent all along here...

I wish I could have anticipated that I would be able to sell the Mavericks at a profit. I ordered it over a year ago and the other one the year before that. I had no idea it would be worth $11,000 more than I paid for it. I ordered it with the intent of keeping it and driving it till the wheels fall off.

How much would they give you for the Highlander? Maybe you keep the Maverick and sell the Toyota.

If you don't love the Maverick or you need the money, selling makes sense. If you love it and don't need the money, why sell?

2 years from now will you wish you had a Maverick or $11k? That usually helps me figure out what to do now.

Most people (not necessarily you) would piss away the $11k on frivolous stuff and then wish they had the Maverick back.

Do with these tidbits of "wisdom" what you will.
All tidbits are carefully being considered at this time.

Bro. Jump on that S. THAT will never happen again.

A car is a car......or a truck in this instance.

Hold tight with what you got, order in the early fall.

No brainer.

Do what you want to do. I had no problem giving them my number. They didn't harass me at all.

Made an account and provided phone, now they want me to "text to request a manual appraisal." Did you have to do this too? I was just curious and wanted to get an offer online.
