I bought a hybrid Maverick back in late Jan with no markup and no wait time. Just walked in to a dealer one day when I was driving by. I had to take the color and options combo that was there, so I didn’t get all the options I wanted; but it was fast and at MSRP. I’ve been super happy with it so far.
We also looked at the Outback Wilderness and the EV Subaru. My girlfriend loved the color highlights on the Wilderness.
Out of idle curiosity, what trim package/options did it have? Now TBF, I was looking when the market was in some post-COVID weirdness and the Maverick was just released, so I am not surprised it’s easier to find them now, but I still only really saw the value in the low end trim and probably would have passed on a Lariat or something. I loved the idea at 22k or whatever it was then, much less so at $36k for the ICE only.
I kept hemming and hawing and finally was just about resolved to start doing some very tacky aftermarket things to my 2013 Outback, when I saw that the Wilderness had just come out and did a less stupid version of most of the stuff I was considering and would likely have a pretty gentle depreciation curve (for a new car). I didn’t love all the contrast on the bodywork, so I was happy to get the all-black at MSRP and a nice interest rate. Price was only a touch more than what I had been cross-shopping, and the Wilderness package was the “mid-life crisis” part of my otherwise very sensible mid-range AWD station wagon purchase. I do not think my wife is too worried, and now neither gravel parking lots nor curbs hold any intimidation for me!
It was a hybrid Lariat with no other options. Yeah, the Lariat adds a lot of money on top when I would have preferred the level down, but I didn’t mind.
