    You can’t get a maverick for 25k now and never have. It also goes up in price for the 25 model year and spans comfortably into the 40k range pre markup.

      Plus taxes and registration, which can easily add an extra 10-15% to the cost in many places.

      Unlike a couple decsdes ago, the second hand market doesn’t really save that much either.

      Uhm, I paid less than 25k for mine, and thousands of others did too. Sure, I had to pre-order because I knew they would never be in stock at that price and post covid backups. If you walked onto a lot to try to buy one, yeah, you were upcharged.
      Now, if you were to buy one, yes, the base price is now essentially 25k vs 20k.

        I’ve been watching for some time and there hasn’t been one available in 200mi of me for less than 28k - absolute base model… And I doubt you can walk out with that. Most are well over $30k and even used 20-40k mi are over $25k. You got lucky.

          It wasnt luck, like I said, I pre-ordered, along with almost every other buyer for initial year. If you go to one sitting on a lot, yes, it’s upcharged due to scarcity. To my knowledge, there is still a shortage. For shits and giggles, I priced out selling mine, 2 years later and I can sell it for more than I paid. If you really want one without upcharges, pre-order it. Ford doesn’t (at least for the first 2 model years) allow upcharging on the ordered models.
