    ‘23 build dates

    One of the guys at work who ordered a Maverick (during the 15 minutes or so the order banks were open) just got his build date and VIN. He’s scheduled for the first week of February. Anyone else have a build date yet?

    Dealer markups .

    Seeing as how most independent shops are in the $130-140 an hour range, that’s not hard to believe.

    Dealer markups .

    I did the math as if I leased a new vehicle every 3 years. Based off the down payment and monthly payment. If I put $3600 down on a 36 month lease, that equates to the same as another $100 a month on a lease payment. So my $3600 down / $402 a month would be equal to $502 a month. Obviously the...

    I just went with his numbers for sake of comparison. I would never lease something more than 3 year/36k miles. After that you run the risk of having to do tires, brakes, or other maintenance… that would defeat the purpose of a lease.

    $377 x 12 months x 16 years = $72,384 $7k x 6 down payments = $42,000 Total $114,384 That’s not even an apples to apples comparison. The only way to see the real numbers is to break the down payment up into month payments. $7000 / 36 months = $194.45 per month $377 + $194.45 = $571.45 actual...

    I’ve got tons of toys, I really don’t need or care to modify my daily driver. I need something to get me to work without any issues. I get called in at strange times for snow storms, sheriff’s tow’s, prosecutor’s impounds, etc. Life has change a little now that I have a county truck I drive to...

    Meh… I don’t really worry about money. I’d rather have a new car.

    I think leasing has a lot to do with that. I can buy out my lease or lease a new one for around the same payment… but I get a new vehicle, with new tires, brakes, and warranty that I don’t have to worry about replacing.

    Maverick's in the Wild

    I see about 5-6 Mavericks a day. I’ve only seen 1 SantaCruz. I don’t even notice new Rangers anymore… there’s at least 4 or 5 of them in the parking lot at work everyday.

    We’ve ordered a few vehicles from this dealer. I stopped in one day and got a price on the truck. I texted the salesman the next day and told him to order it. No discussion of payments, no deposit, nothing… just the total price before tax, title, tags. They’re not worried about selling the...
