Looking good! Your order is nearly the same as my original order! Great choices! Hope I am just as lucky on shipping time!

Well I guess new quickest transit 16 days mine got to Yankee this evening hopefully it will be ready for Saturday ill check with them tomorrow. Of course I already did a walk around and snapped a few pics before it snows tomorrow. Its already filthy just from being hauled up.

Very nice! 16 days is crazy quick. The second Mav is scheduled to be built in 10 days (hybrid) so hopefully it gets that kind of transit time and not the 5ish weeks I had.

Well unless they want to deal after the review I left I'm Maverick-less. Yankee low balled my very low mileage trade by 4k+ under the worst condition NADA and KBB trades and refused to honor the 1000$ rebate they remember saying they would when I asked when ordering. Not in the cards to pay 5k more than planned. A grand more I would have dealt with but not even being a dealer markup left a really bad taste. I've bought my last two vehicles from them and they have always been good for trade values and making it work, but obviously they must want to sell to someone else that is waiting

On a related note with just my normal luck the Bak Revolver X4S cover that was ordered in October finally shipped today so if anyone around greater Portland is interested let me know. I paid $896.75 with tax for it if anyone can get close to that and wants it I can meet when it shows up estimated to be next Thursday delivery on it.

A salesman at another Maine Ford Dealer said Yankee Ford was absolutely shafting customers. It really sucks to hear that they're pulling this bullshit on you. I was there a few years ago looking at a CRV to purchase. They ran my credit (my credit was awful then, first car barely any credit history) and gave me a 17% interest rate. I asked for a lower rate, the guy went in the other room and all I heard was "Is he a fucking idiot?" I immediately got up and left the room. Fuck those guys!

Yah idk what happened I've always had them give good deals and good trade values on mine and families vehicles. I think with how desperate people are for vehicles they know they don't need to work with anyone when a vehicle is on the lot. If it had been like a grand under on the trade and that was it I would have just went with it vs walking out. Not even sure I want to try and order or find one somewhere else after the anticipation for that and the failure of it.

Glad you got them to figure their s**t out, the truck is totally worth it. I drove my F-150 today and I have to tell you it just holds nothing to the Mav. Credit where it's due, Quirk in Augusta has been absolutely amazing to deal with and we have a hybrid coming in there soon for mother.

Yah going from my '15 2.0l 4wd Escape to the Mav it actually rides smoother and has less rattles. Even with the Falken tires road noise on the highway I would say is equal with the BF Goodrich Advantage TA I had on the Escape. Engine noise is a little worse on the Mav than the Escape but its not offensive engine noise more turbo blow off and it even shifts smoother than the 6 speed did.

Congrats and glad to hear the dealer didn't continue to try and screw you! It'll be nice to see another alto blue mav in our area.

If you really plant the pedal the 8 speed is really annoying. It takes forever to choose a gear and then it's the wrong one. Standing start it works great but 50-70 passing is a chore. The 4 cyl sound is never something I will enjoy I prefer the sound of my 3 cyl fiesta any day or even a v6. I heard the "upgraded" exhausts and they just make it louder not better.

I swear I'm the only one who ended up with the pirellis instead of the falkens. I'm actually quite happy with them which surprised me.

Those pirellis looked pretty good in person, and seem like a pretty decent tire with the tread pattern!

Anyone know if the East Brookfield CSX terminal works on weekends? I've been keeping a close eye on it and havent noticed any movement. I do see that my dealer has four cars waiting for transport for about 4 days now, it makes me wonder if they're waiting for my order to arrive to do a trip :)

Yea I am wondering if they at least offload the Vehicles at the yard on the weekends. The F150 has been sitting for a week and the week prior they had a mustang that did a solo trip up that way.

They may do rail offloading I know they arent FIFO of the yard though. My Maverick and a few Escapes it came up with had only been there a few days where a Bronco and few other vehicles have already been since around Christmas

My Maverick just popped up on United Road so it seems like I might hit 16 days to dealer as well! Had a weird feeling it was gonna pop up today! Just called my sales guy and left a message, pretty sure I found out before him haha
