It was a pointless comment. You throw a cheap jab at the left. Then what? The left throws a cheap jab back at you. What’s the point? No one changes their mind. It just devolves into the toxic garbage that ruins the conversation.Lol. You complained and I got a warning. Oh my.
That's been like that since Maverick started. It was super annoying when I was in Arizona in '22 and searching for Mavericks. Constantly seeing them, then clicking on the Sticker and it always being a Green Special Order one.For some unknown reason it looks like every Ford dealer in Canada is putting the vehicle for sale on the lot, when it is actually special-ordered and not available to sell. I guess that makes it quicker to advertise if someone occasionally backs out of a deal, but its a pretty shady practice. It makes it look like there are Mavs available at a dealership, when they are not for sale. It ought to be illegal.
I received my $500 deposit back from the dealership for a 2024 Ford Maverick XLT that I ordered on October 11, 2023, however, I cancelled the order when I was able to purchase a 2023 Lariat at MSRP on October 30, 2023. I just received an e-mail from Ford that the Maverick I had previously ordered but cancelled is scheduled to be built on February 19, 2024. Clearly, the dealership never cancelled the order. I have no regrets because I feel I got a better deal. The 2024 XLT is only $500 cheaper than my 2023 Lariat. that is loaded with all the bells and whistles. The 2023 Lariat was a special order that (I am assuming) the person cancelled.I placed an order with them for a 2023 way back when the banks first opened in September 2022, but ended up elsewhere. They were happy to "cancel" my order and refund my (I think it was) $50 deposit. Most likely they kept my order on the books and it is one of those ~40. If you see an XL Cactus Gray EcoBoost with 4k and a rear sliding window, might be mine!
EDIT: Geeeeez.....they are all at least XLT trim, and it looked like almost all (if not all) are Hybrid. Interesting.....
I had lunch with some former colleagues up in Renton and swung by Bowen Scarff on the way back home this afternoon. I cruised the lots in front of the dealership (both retail and fleet lots) and saw zero Mavericks. There were three (or more) Mach-Es, two Lightinings and three Rangers, as well as a bunch of other vehicles but no Mavericks. If they have any of these, they are hiding behind the buildings.This is a dealer in Kent, Wa with almost 40 new and used Maverick in stock!! This is a reputable dealer and will not add markup on personal order. Dealer stock I’ve seen an ADM from them between 5k to 10k during the shortage.

When I was hunting for my Mac I noticed quite a few dealer's listing anywhere from a few to even TEN for sale! Turns out it was a less than honest ploy to drive phone, email and foot traffic into the dealers!This is a dealer in Kent, Wa with almost 40 new and used Maverick in stock!!

Same thing happened with Bronco's as well. When a special order shows up it automaticaly gets posted on dealers website. But my understanding it's Ford doing it not the dealer. A quick click on the window sticker will show green instead of blue.That's been like that since Maverick started. It was super annoying when I was in Arizona in '22 and searching for Mavericks.

Sounds similar to most areas.Not in my Area. Dealers can only order Ecoboosts for stock. My closest dealer has 14 Eco's ready to go, and one 2024 Hybrid in transit.
I see a lot of Hybrids in my area. Probably 50-70%.Sounds similar to most areas.
per the numbers there are far more ecos in inventory than hybrid.
I’ve never seen a hybrid in person, all the locals have ecobust
