New York Mavericks!!

[Mabcim]

I’m going to the dealership this evening and want to make sure I’m prepared.

Again my reason for leasing is that I want to keep the monthly payments low, this is a brand new vehicle and I’m always iffy on owning a brand new vehicle/model and my fiancé and I will most likely want to trade in this vehicle for a SUV in three years.

However the choice to finance seems like the better deal even though it’s a little bit more per month for a 84 month finance term. We would still want to move into a SUV but my be able to do that sooner if we own the truck and sell it.

Last option is selling my 2013 Honda Accord and using that profit towards a new SUV and keeping the truck on a finance or lease plan.

Thoughts?

All of that is really a personal preference. I was always trading in around 3 years, so I switched to leasing. After doing that I had to buy my next car, because leasing in NY was all messed up and way more than buying. I ended up not liking the car, so I traded after a year; which you cannot do with a lease. Then I started to realize you are kind of stuck with whatever the deals are when your lease is up. If you buy, you can pick a trade-in time when you want. I have been doing that for a while and prefer to buy. More flexibility. Granted, if have not financed for 84 months ever, so I have never compared things that way. I don’t like the idea of having a car payment when the warranty is up.

I assume the dealer told you that. How long ago did they say that?
Hope you got to pick up your truck today!

Yes, my sales guy told me that. I DID pick it up yesterday and it was amazing to finally drive it! Put 100 miles on it in just a few hours time testing it out. You won't be disappointed!

Yes, they still have that one for test drives. They’ve had that one for a ‘long’ time. I believe they decided to not sell it, so they have something for people to drive; not 100% sure about that.
March build dates are all taken. So soonest is April, then 4 weeks to ship it.

How do you know which months are taken for builds? So that means the soonest I can expect is May? Ugh. Anything could happen between now and then. At this point wondering if I will ever take delivery.

Every week the Admin posts something like this:
https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/-maverick-scheduling-next-week-1-24-for-production-build-week-3-21-22/
It shows which week is being scheduled. This shows that this week’s emails (that will go out on Thursday 1/27 @ ~10am-noon) is for 3/21. However, that is being called a ‘clean up week’. As I understand it, it means it won’t be a normal full week of new orders being built. It will be partial as they ‘cleanup’ any builds delayed and fit orders in here-n-there. Either way thru 3/18 builds are spoken for. So I was considering week 3/21 as taken. I see there are still 4 more March days the week after; so that was my mistake in my prior post, sorry. So still a chance for March. However, since I ordered on 10/27 and as of Monday was told there are 30 ahead of me, I don’t see March happening for me. When did you order? I see you joined on 10/28, so I assume around then; which would put you close to me in that line.

I ordered from Kaytes as well for a hybrid XLT. Order was placed on 8/17, no build date yet.

Same, no build date either. I think you’re the only one in front of me or maybe 1 more. I was going to call them next week and see if they have any info on allocations for Feb. Was hoping for a April or May delivery. Waiting on a Lariat ecoboost fx4/4k.
Fyi I saw yesterday Nielsen ford in Sussex had a hybrid lariat first edition available in stock supposedly. Didn’t call to confirm but the online chat said it’s still available. I really want awd but just passing it along.

I called Sean this week and he said they had 3 scheduled in January so that’s good news, he didn’t have allocations for Feb yet when we talked but hopefully they’ll be getting more scheduled!

I also ordered from Leo Kaytes on 8-29-21. Hybrid XL, tray style floor mat, trailer hitch, inverter, moonroof, co-pilot 360. No build date yet.

Hey Henderson! I'm over in Adams waiting on a cactus gray hybrid since August! I'll be on the lookout for you.

Nice!!! I’ll keep an eye out for you

Any Leo Kaytes customers get an email yesterday? No word on allocations from them so I’m pessimistic.

I got my Area 51 XLT w/4K tow package ordered just under the wire on Jan 26. I suppose I'll be watching this thread with envy until this fall...

I still haven't seen a Maverick on the road.

 

[McTimson]

Nope. Not looking great for me with the general Ford delays on XLT lux hybrid.
