Yeah that is literally my profile lol. 42. Extremely frugal, current car is a 30 year old Volvo wagon I've been driving since I was 15! Parents deeded it to me in 2003, and have been taking care of it ever since.Funny I was JUST wondering what the demographics of Maverick buyers and came to the forums to post a thread asking this very question then I saw this poll.
Ford's marketing seems like it's targeting younger buyers. But where I live almost every Maverick I've seen was driven by men over 40 and many well over 50. You know the type: the guy who owns 15 rental properties and is a millionaire but still wears the same Levi's he's had since 1992
Not that Ford cares as long as they're selling like hotcakes.
When I was at the dealership putting my order in there were a few customers picking up their Maverick's. All middle aged or older frugal looking men. At 43 now and quite frugal I too am in that category haha.
It would be curious to see how many Maverick buyers are financing their purchase vs paying cash compared to other models. I bet Maverick buyers have a higher cash purchase rate vs other models based on lower overall cost of vehicle and the old frugal man demographic

! I'll wear the frugality badge with honor! Tip my hat to anyone who has means but live / work like they don't. Injecting a little stability into an unstable world.We'd get a long well I think haha. I've never financed a car and I abhor debt. My current car (still waiting for my Maverick) I paid cash for 10 years ago. That was my first new car purchase, and I was originally looking for a used one but they offered me a great deal on a new one so I bit the bullet. Before this car I drove a '98 Dodge Neon I paid $1000 for. Drove that for 7 or 8 years. Before that it was my '91 Ford Ranger that I bought as my first vehicle, and of course paid cash. I will be paying cash for my Maverick.Yeah that is literally my profile lol. 42. Extremely frugal, current car is a 30 year old Volvo wagon I've been driving since I was 15!

Paid cash, it was only about 28k out the door including tax/title/fees for a '23 XLT.
A nice car doesn't make me more money, and once I got to the point where I could buy almost anything I wanted save for some crazy exotic multi-million dollar car, I suddenly didn't want it anymore.
The combo of price point, utility, size, efficiency (hybrid), and simplicity won me over. A lot of DIY'ers are buying these and learning to fix them themselves, I'm really hoping that that part of market takes off in the future. I DIY everything on my current car, including a transmission swap years ago.
BTW the last pair of jeans I bought I got one pair for free and the other for $25. After about a decade, I finally am about to retire them
The only thing I wish were different would be a body-on-frame design to help with repairability, but I do understand the ride quality is much improved with the unibody construction.
Oh I wear my frugality badge with honour too! And our frugality in these crazy times (inflation etc) means we can weather the storm!I prefer to be called a cheap middle aged Bast

Seems like the unspoken marketing behind the Maverick, whether it was intended or not is...
done!"
Hello Bingo are you still around on the forum? I've done searches on this thread and I think you are still the oldest reporting, but I'd like to say my Dads Maverick is finally here and he was 87 couple months ago. I think this makes him 2nd oldest, but I think it makes he and I the oldest Father/Son pair
Both Hybrids. Showing Dad how to use Carplay so he can listen to his XM channels.... Stay young, stay mobile !
Not far behind here "86" older than dirtHello Bingo are you still around on the forum?

That's funny.Back when I submitted for this poll (and ordered my truck), I was in my 20s... Now that I finally have my truck, I'm in my 30s
I realize you haven't been online for almost a year. Possibly you've sold your Maverick or just lost interest in the forum. but Thank you for starting this real poll.
