What are you trading in / selling for your Maverick??

[Scott Asheville]

2010 Ford Ranger XLT single cab, 4 cylinder, RWD, 102K miles. A faithful and affordable (15K new), if significantly underpowered ride. 30 mpg lifetime average fuel economy - mostly highway. My daily commuter till I retired.

Trading in 2015 Honda Fit EX with only 43,250 mileage.

Buying a Ford Maverick XLT in Velocity Blue and adding Co-Pilot360, Bed Mat – Removable, Wheel Lock Kit, Floor Liners incl Carpeted Floor Mats

I was not going to be selling the Fit until I had a confirmed build week and a signed "Buyers Order" from the dealership for my Maverick.

In the meantime since I placed my Maverick order on 8/23 I decided to see what my Fit was worth.

The valuations were all over the place.

Kelly Blue Book had the trade-in value from $12,250 to $13,500. The private party sale value was from $13,750 to $15,175

When I was at AutoNation Honda in Lewisville TX to have my state inspection done signs were all over the dealership saying "They wanted to buy My Car" or that is what they implied.

Their initial offer of $10,000 was an insult which I stated. They then countered with $11,000 which I then said was still an insult and then walked out the door. On the way home I got a text from them to come back and they would give me $12,500. So in a matter of 10 minutes their offer went up 25%.

Kelly Blue Book has a link for them to buy your car outright. I tried them but their offer was also insulting at $11,505.

At the AutoNation Ford Frisco TX dealership where I had just signed my "Buyers Order" I asked for them to give a current valuation for trading-in. They only offered $11,750.

At this point it was obvious that trading-in to a dealership was not the way to go in getting the best value.

So I then tried both Carvana and Vroom.

Vroom made the first offer of $15,483 and then Carvana came in with the wow offer of $16,523.

So I accepted the Carvana offer because, besides being the highest, it exceeded the highest KBB private party sale by $1,348 so no point in doing a private party sale with all the hassles that involves.

On Oct 26th I closed the deal with Carvana for the agreed upon $16,523 price. It took only about 15 minutes and went extremely smooth.

In selling to Carvana I made an additional $4083.62 above the ($11,750 trade-in + 734.38 sales tax saving) from the dealership where my Maverick is being delivered to.

My Maverick was delivered to AutoNation Ford Frisco dealership on Dec 13th.

Here it is in my driveway.

Replacing a Black Edition 2017 Honda Ridgeline. We have offers from Honda dealership and a few others for almost what we paid for it so ends up being a straight swap with a bit leftover. Car is out of Warranty, 50K miles and great shape…but getting a slightly smaller but just as capable truck with new Warranty has my wife very excited. She is primary driver and we use as a truck on weekends and when towing a small flats boat. Ordered 12/6 so we are months out - also went for XLT as we really liked that interior and Lariat did not offer features we felt we needed. 2022 XLT Pepper Red Lux 4K FX4 DIBL

Trading our 2014 F150 Fx4! We don't need a big truck! The Maverick will do the job, for half the price!

We ended up trading in our 2015 Grand Cherokee limited.

1999 Subaru Legacy Outback, will have more than 280,000 miles by the time my Maverick arrives. Been a great, reliable car. Hope to get $1000ish for it. It will be a great first car for a teenager to drive to school.

I traded my 2019 F-150 STX on Friday for my Lariat Lux. I think both myself and the dealership ended up "ahead" in the deal, as I had nothing to pay to get my new truck (as my F-150 was owned outright), and the dealership will likely be able to sell the F-150 (with very low miles) for a substantial sum, making them a healthy profit.

2006 MINI Cooper which needed LOTS of work.
