It is time to replace my 2016 Explorer--which will go to my wife and her 2012 will go to one of the kids. The 2016 is just short of 100k miles and the 2012 is about 142k. Both are Limited models.
The net price less any sales tax:
2012, $39,783.53
2016, $45,767.48
The only record I have of those prices is the checks, I don't know what the MSRP was.
The new one is a Sport---necessary to get the biggest engine. That comes with a trailer hitch which the others did not have.
The current pair have a split rear seat (seats 3), the 2020 has bucket seats which is a deduct of $495.
...and the MSRP is.......$55,450. I don't yet have the net selling price since I just sent it off this morning to me son---for the "family" discount.
Just for giggles, I priced out a similarly equipped MB GLC 350e 4 Matic, the MSRP shown below.

The 2020 is virtually identical to what I am driving (Limited) and the price is virtually the same as the 2016 I am currently driving.
The price is based on invoice, less 3% hold back. It will be about 6-8 weeks to build and deliver.

The 2016 lasted longer than it's recent predecessors because it didn't move for 4 months after my fall!

Finally, I got notice that the birth has happened and the new arrival is waiting in Chicago for an Uber ride home. Possible arrival date is the week of March 8.
The new car has happened---it is at the dealer---but I can't go to get it.
I told them to send me the invoice and I'll send them a check---and pick it up when I can---it isn't like I was going to take a trip

I just got a call from the General Manager. Because of the restrictions we are under, their sales have to be closed and they are unable to process anything like invoices, sales tax, title issues and registrations---so it will just sit until they can get back to doing business.
