Mavericks Accumulating At Dealers

[HTX]

I live in southwest Houston, Meyerland area, I got my Maverick in October and the only other ones I have seen, two, were in Katy. Zero around my part of town.

Really? I live in meyerland and have seen 3 here but not yours…haha!
Saw one in stafford and one on South Rice this weekend. A pair in Chinatown recently.

Personally, I don't think they care. They screwed up with their marketing study on the Edsel and probably had no idea of the popularity of the Maverick?

They screwed up on the Mustang too, but management at that time were professional, and quickly solved the problems

I gave a dealer a hard time about a 5k markup on an awd XL. Knowing MSRP and lack of features I wasn’t willing to do that. They couldn’t sell it for weeks which was fun to remind him about since he thought he would sell it by the end of the day. But the day it showed up they suckered someone. 30k you could get a used Honda Ridgeline or Chevy Colorado.

Shouldn't this dealer be reported to Ford? I've read several articles where the Ford CEO is telling dealers they can't do markups or Ford will take allocations away.

I tried a couple different avenues to get the information to Ford.They at least got it through Twitter and put them on a markup website but it wasn’t very friendly to use. I tried to get fords website to send me an official survey like it did for other dealers on the ford find a Maverick tool. But no luck.

I purchased a 2022 XL Ecoboost AWD with CoPilot, the all weather mats and spray in bedliner on November 21st for $29,305. I looked at it after the order was rejected and it was $31,705 just a touch over $4000 above MSRP on the sticker at that time. Fast forward 2 weeks and they dropped it $2400, I swore I would not spend a penny over MSRP but I gave in and bought it. They were so confident they would sell it they rejected my $30k cash offer so waiting saved me almost $700. Hopefully I did OK on the deal. Did have it towed in 7 days later at 180 miles leaking oil badly from the oil filter adapter housing area. Been no problem an additional 600 miles later.

I live in the Richmond and sugar land area. I’ve seen at least 5-6 completely different mavericks in my neighborhood this week.

I just searched the inventory within 100 miles of st Charles, mo and there are 47 2022 models. The inventory dose not say how many are sold.

My father showed me 3 Mavericks on a dealer's website in December right after mine had arrived, as he was thinking of buying one because they were listed at MSRP. There was one with the exact same specs as mine. I checked the VIN and it was my maverick. Some of these Mavericks people are seeing on dealer websites may be customer orders that aren't actually available for purchase. My guess is that are trying to get you in to sell you something else, as my dealer had already contacted me that my order was coming in and I told them I still wanted it. I also think they used my Maverick for test drives as it had over 100 miles on it when I picked it up

Most dealers wont take pictures etc if its sold. Most orders are picked up and gone from the lot in 2 days.

Too may guys and gals with advanced degrees. No common sense!

I would have complained about the 100 miles. My friend was at a dealership awhile back and they would not let him test drive one reserved for another customer. I guess it depends on the dealer.

Common sense is a misnomer as it is not remotely as common as the term implies. See above.

Oh geez! Really?

My 22XLT hybrids sound system locked up a couple days ago, I have 3200 miles on it, I was able to finally turn it off and get it to restart after a few minutes but it's the base sound system, which sounds pretty good to my 70+ old ears but wonder if I'll have to upgrade if it comes out again. I like Bonamassa and Blue Oyster Cult on 15 because I'm half deaf...
