Looking for suggestions or recommendations.
In September of 2022 I ordered a Maverick Lariat Hybrid with the Luxury package.
Judging from the information I had at the time, I figured it would be at least fall of 2023 before I'd get it (turns out, maybe December...)
So, at the dealership where I ordered it (Long McArthur in Salina KS) an XLT Hybrid with Luxury Package became available, so in February of this year, I bought it.
Now, I have an actual build start date for the Lariat I ordered. Scheduled to begin 8 December.
So...what to do with the XLT? It is pretty much perfect condition, with 9,600 miles on it.
I made an appointment with Carmax tomorrow to see what they'll give me.
Carvana's offer was about $25,500, but I think I can do better.
KBB says it's worth over $30,000.
If I sell it outright, I will have to pay Sales Tax on the full amount when buying the new one (here in Kansas about 9+ % )
If I trade it in for the new one, I will pay less in Kansas Sales Tax because I'll only be taxed on the difference in price between the two. But I don't know what trade-in values are bringing.
I reached out to the sales team at Long McArthur to see if they can give me an idea of what I might get on trade-in. We'll see where that goes.
Suggestions?
