From a 22 to a 25

[NickyF25]

Yes. Went to multiple dealers not just ford. Carvana was most at $62,200. Most dealers were between $58k and $61,500. Ended up getting $61,800. Yea the keypad is a bummer. But I’ll get over it. Your offer sounds good. From my research , it seemed to me it was a good time to trade. Felt like in my case my trade in value was gonna drop 2 to 3k in the very near future. Could be wrong but used 22s like mine with less miles were dropping. I got under msrp which was good. Lot of dealers wouldn’t budge on 2025s.

Congrats on the new truck...the depreciation angle is an interesting take. Your 25 depreciated at least double the amount you think your 22 would have as soon as you drove it off the lot, and that is from what you paid. At end of last month my local dealer had 2 2025 37pp's for $5,349 off MSRPs of $94,460. For humor, had them up work up a trade on my 23 35 801A with 14K mi which came in at $68k. Still didn't make "sense" to me to do the deal, for $24k+ after TTL (and not counting un-recoverable mods like ceramic coating, tinting, et.) for my use purposes to drive essentially the same truck. I am on a list for an R at MSRP with the OH dealer I bought my 23 at, but don't expect to ever receive a call on it. Plan to just wait to see what the GEN 4 brings.

Of course keeping your truck long term is the best move. I’ll likely keep the truck another few years. I got my 22 a touch below msrp when the market was crazy. Drove the truck at a rate of under $500 a month. Considering I was due for some new tires, brakes, and body paint work on my tailgate i was happy to do it.

Is the keypad that big a deal if you have the app on your phone?

I've had 4 trucks, my wife is on her 4th Lincoln, my kid is on his 2nd mustang and all of us have never used the keypad. Ever.

Different strokes. (@Oldfart strokes his goats). I love the keypad. Use it often. I'd miss it. If I go for hike or run I prefer to leave fob in car. I don't use no app.

Understand. I kind of wish I had a 22 to be able to Goose tune it. Makes them completely different (and as reliable) trucks. I don’t have much hope for the 23+s.

Even though I think the keypad is a good thing, like I said before not a major deal for me. I think the most I’ve used it is when I went to get something out the truck in garage and it was locked and I didn’t have keys or phone. It’s def a handy feature and whenever car companies reduce functionality it’s not a good thing.

No way maintenance costs will exceed the depreciation hit, look at total costs, not cost per month

The spyware app? Fũck that. Plus I’m out of cell coverage a lot. But yeah, for the normal Starsux ***, the pad is a waste.

Thanks. Like i said before, I agree keeping is cheaper. I understand my cost of use very well.
