Got a call from the dealer that the Maverick Hybrid ordered July 1st has arrived. I plan to go test drive it on Wednesday. Assuming there are no shenanigans' by the dealer it should cost me $27,027 +$199 admin fee.
At this time unless the Maverick just blows me away, I probably won't buy it for me. I have the cash to purchase it outright, I could take it to Carvana or CarMax and see what it will bring.
Another option would be to trade the Venza if I like the Maverick, who's current value is $34000 as of last night. My aim would be to add accessories from the Dealer to bring the values closer. $1000 hard bed cover, splash guards, bed mat, rooftop spoiler, front window tint to match the rear windows, negotiate a tire swap for Michelin CC 2's and other possibilties.
My 3rd and very generous option would be to gift it to my sister or my Lady Friend who also has a used up vehicle and they both have no money for a new car.
A fourth option would be to sell my interest to the Dealer for say $2K. I know they mark up declined orders around $5K
Suggestions please.
