Turned down a Hybrid Lariat

You should be price protected if your 22 rolls to a 23. There is no reason to pay a markup.

Actually no one here actually knows what will happen if orders roll to '23.

Yesterday I did my lawn and after I finished, sat down with a cold adult beverage then pulled up autotrader.com on my tablet.

Saw this Maverick listed at MSRP so I messaged Waldorf Ford (80 miles south of my home) through autotrader.com.

MSRP for a hybrid too good to be true.

Series of texts began:

Salesman texted indicating selling price for that truck was msrp+$499 doc fee+$8K ADM.

I texted back “not interested, we are too far apart for me to even make an offer.”

He sent a second text that he spoke to the manager and the ADM reduced to $5K, still cheaper than used one at Carmax, Carvana, VROOM, etc. do we have a deal?

I texted back that best I would do is MSRP+doc fee+dealer financing through Ford.

Final text from salesman was manager declined my offer because this one will sell quick but he’ll keep me in mind if another one comes in.

My same build, Lariat Lux Hybrid. Paid $30,844, but also waited 8.5 months.
Those screws through the front bumper make me cringe a little.

Hmm my dealer asked me if I wanted the front plate, of course I said no as I didn’t want holes in the front end…

LOL

What about this scenario:

You ordered a truck at $28k MSRP and it appears it will now roll to a 2023
With a potential delivery in +9 months (or more)
Rolling to a '23, will likely encounter price increase(s)
You're looking for a Maverick
The exact truck you want is available now and has a MSRP of $28K
Most Mavericks ADMs are +$5K-$7K

Are you suggesting you wouldn't pay $29k today for that exact truck you want?

Or if you’re like me who was late to the party so the orders were already closed. My only option was to scavenge a canceled order or wait till I can order again and get one in 2023 which just wasn’t an option. I absolutely needed a new vehicle and found the exact truck I want, so I didn’t mind the markup all that much, nor did I really have a choice. Considering what I’m saving in gas with this hybrid (I can drive over 600 miles a week) plus not having to repair that old car or worry about it breaking down again it still feels like it was worth it.
