I'm sincerely fed up. I'd rather visit the dentist than a car dealership.
When I was young I loved the dealer experience. Today its filled with crooks ond con men. The good news is that they only lie when their lips are moving. After days tring to work with multiple dealers I went private and got a gem with 2500 miles on it. I will NEVER step into a dealer again unless I'm there to make them think I'm a buyer.

It's always been filled with crooks and con men. You're just wiser now.

Stealers have always been stealers. However back then I was able to build a relationship. Today they are revolving doors with mostly losers passing through in between jobs. Soe don't even bother to bath.

Your friend can do nothing other than what he is allowed to do by the dealer.
It’s a done deal, move on.

What I don’t like about your, ‘deal’

$29,500 for a base XL,
$$4,000 more for an XLT
My Loaded Lariat was $36,000

These numbers mean nothing but trade in value and used value will fall faster on an XL than more loaded models.
Your ok but getting out of that XL, we’ll just be ready to get Gob smacked.

Now go enjoy your Maverick.
If you don't mind me asking what was the msrp of your lariat? I bought a 25 lariat hybrid (ordered how I wanted it) and it was just over 45k. 🙃

Mine was $43,520. I didn't think there were enough options to bring a Lariat to 45k (assuming we're talking US dollars).

$45,025 to be exact and yes USD. I definitely didn't pay that i swindled it down between 5 different dealers, but not as much as you were able to!

Mine was a new 2024 AWD Lariat Ecoboost. MSRP was $38,600
I paid $36,000 plus tax tag and title.

BUT !
I bought it on 12/31/2024 the very last day of the year and they gave me $1,500 off for a military discount. Without that it would have been $37,500 I have no Idea how I got the $1,100 off the sticker.
I didn’t ask, I signed the freaking paperwork and hauled ass !

Remember, mine was an Ecoboost,
Hybrids cost more.
The only other new 2024 left was a hybrid but it was Front wheel drive only.
A lariat, $39,800
The 2024 Eco Tremor, both Lariats, they had two left, were $41,000

The 2025’s, they had six, $41,000 and up. The three Tremors were $43,000 and up.
All those were Lariats.
