Is Good, good enough Gen IV (not 2023) Prius

I think the 2022 Prius are gone

 

I feel you on buyers remorse or rethinking your recent purchases but you have to account for the hassle of buying a car, tax, title, insurance, registration... There's no way swapping your ride so soon will make financial sense. Even if you get an offer and you somehow make profit you'll owe taxes on that profit. Then you're back to car shopping again. You picked the Maverick for a reason. Enjoy your new car. And turn off all the new stock alerts from car websites.

 

Keep in mind, some people will really want the 2023.

A few of them will be trading in 2022s to get them. So there's still that way...

 

Why would you want a 2022 Prius to replace a 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid XLT? (Why did you get a pickup if you are in the market for a hatchback?) If it's just because there might be a good deal, the amount of extra money you would have spent selling the pickup for a loss and having double the fees for buying two vehicles, even if the sticker price looks good (which it probably won't), you're still not going to be coming out ahead.

 

Are you trying to flip the Maverick?

Cars.com has some new 2022 listed. The thing is, the low supply that has been impacting pricing for the Maverick is also impacting the Prius. It looks like dealers are listing 2023 MSRP for 2022 models. Short supply of 2022, and slow roll out of 2023 means no end of year deals.

 

The idea is to buy low in a buyers market, and to sell high in a sellers market.

Selling high and buying high isn't worth the effort.

Sell the pickup for a premium price on your own and skip the middleman garbage called Carvana. Sit on the money until the end of the year and then buy something else with a discount, when dealers start sitting on their inventory because half America is back to living from paycheck to paycheck due to more Federal rate hikes, and shitty credit scores for not seeing the writing on the wall.
