This is the case with almost very truck offering out there. Price out a base F150 and a King Ranch then add options, you can get to 3x the $29,3 base. This is why manufacturers love trucks, there is huge money in hwo people option them out. Plus the fact they are paying full price for what some might consider half of a vehicle if you consider the bed is mostly air.Almost twice as much $$$ as the base model.
All cars have low trade in value - dealers make more profit on buying/selling a used car than on a new The options on a used car are a secondary consideration on the selling price.The problem I have with it is , you will NOT get any kind return from the extra money spent on that fully loaded truck used .But the dealer will if they sell it . So you better really enjoy your 30 to $38,000 dollar Maverick and keep it a very very long time , like 15 years plus . So you won’t be upset with the trade in value.
Anyone can ask for what they feel something is worth, the question is will someone actually pay that amount. But who knows, like they say, there is an ass for every seat lol.This will be a classic. I just saw a 1994 Ranger with 200k miles manual for sale for $3000. Unreal.
