Whipple it?I would take $5000 cash profit from mine and I just bought it yesterday. When I say profit, I mean after taxes and fees and everything. But I certainly wouldn't buy a Ranger. I don't like the Ranger, haven't since this body style came out. But I would put $5000 down a new regular cab F150 with 5.0 2wd and slam it, Whipple it and have a modern day Lightning!
...and you can flat-tow it. That's Yahtzee for me!!!!In todays economy 5k just isn't worth the hassle of trying to get something even remotely similar.
A Front wheel drive, Hybrid, pick up is the tri-fecta for me.
No way, 5K or even 10K is nothing if you have to wait another 500 days to get into a 2014. The price increase will most likely take all of that "windfall". I ordered a hybrid, I want a hybrid and I am not giving up my hybrid. Well if I ever get my hybrid.I'm not trying to stir the pot but... If you could sell your brand new Maverick for $5k over what you paid within a week would you?
I agree Brad! People do not realize that when the truck is registered with the new owner, they have to report to the DMV how much they paid and who they bought it from. The Fed and state will get their share which combined is usually 40%. So after tax, a $5k profit = $3k. You will save a lot more in fuel over the years than this short term profit, and then have to wait another 18 months for a new Mav.An XLT EB with a $12,500 markup? Must be a whole lotta lead in the water there.
But to answer your question, eventually folks come to realize life is NOT about money. I paid $32,561.63 for my 2023 Lariat Lux Hybrid with BAP with an MSRP of $35,995 and I'd not sell it for $50k.
All I would do with the $50k would be to hold it and wait til a Maverick Lariat Lux Hybrid with BAP and AWD could be ordered...and be without a truck that I want for at least another 500 days....should I live long enough to get it.
