My last post-signing off

[Reformed Ranger Owner]

This is my last post, sold my Maverick. here's the story.

I loved my Maverick. It was paid off, and I was going to keep it for 10 years or more. Just right for me.

But, the car my daughter drives had a catastrophic failure. We reconfigured the entire family fleet of 4. I fixed the old chevy, and traded it in on the new car my oldest daughter was buying. She is now "off the payroll". I sold my wife's car and got my youngest daughter a newer used car, and paid off the repair bill. I traded my Maverick for a new car for my wife (even got a check for $1,000 back). All I have to do is drive the other old chevy my oldest daughter was driving; just for a few months or a year or so until we recover from all this.

The good news is I did not have to take out a loan (other than the new one my daughter was planning to get anyway) or dig into savings. All I gotta do is drive the old one for a while and the family has good reliable transportation.

Here's the numbers on the Maverick:

2022 Maverick Lariat, AWD. Purchased in March 2022. Sold last week. Paid $34,534, received $33,500 trade in. So, I basically "rented" it for 18 months for about $150 per month if you throw in insurance and interest while I was paying the loan.

Since I am no longer a Maverick owner, I won't be on this forum any longer. Unless...

Did you get quotes from Carvana or Givemethevin before doing the dealer trade - in? Just curious

Yes. And, I used the highest one (Carvana) to negotiate the trade. dealer matched Carvana, AND I go the benefit of NO TAX on the trade amount.

Make it with or without Mav!

Responsible with your finances. You'll be back I think.

 

[RR - All the way]

I believe, since I rule the roost , that I would have just had my wife drive the maverick instead of her getting a new car....... That way when she was not using it, you could have driven it instead of the old chevy!!! Sounds like you did ok with the Mav trade.

You did what is best for you and your family and I respect that. You had one long enough to decide if you want another one later on. I wish you the best.
