I've driven vehicles that had sat on the lot so long that the brake rotors were too rusted for the pads to clean off the rust. I wouldn't buy a vehicle like that. The Expedition I bought appeared to have been driven frequently.
What kind of deals is everyone getting on leftover 2024s?

Cash deal with no trade is not a positive to the stealership.

Agree… they hate cash deals unless they know you well and you had bought a few cars there before.
This...is how you may be able to work the lowest price out the door. Dealer financing and then use your cash to quickly pay off the note. Remember, price out the door is the number you want to negotiate. Any other kind of numbers are all smoke and mirrors.

This is exactly what my wife & I did with her new Acadia a few years ago, since we had the insurance money from when her previous vehicle was totaled out...still no trade to deal with, but we were already pre-approved for financing at ~5%/60 mo, and ended up getting the new Acadia for $7.5k less than we would have if we had paid with cash... made no sense to us, but it was what it was....
We made few payments as scheduled, took a short vacation, then paid it off shortly afterwards. This also pushed our credit scores up by over 50 points (which was already pretty high), so it was a win-win-win for us

We bought our 2024 Expy MAX Limited in late February 2025 and got the -$7000 Ford Cash (but had to pay Sales Tax on that -$7000 Ford Cash) plus a dealer -$4127 discount (no Sales Tax on that -$4127). But, our crooked Fullerton Ford CA Dealer tried to screw us with a (switch) 6.9% - 5 Yr. loan w/ Chase Bank (but had advertised a 1.9% - 36 Mo. Loan, in their on-line ad) and added in a 5 yr/60K Premium Care warranty for $4800 without our knowledge nor approval. We had to argue to get the Warranty removed from the contract and then financed through my wifes' Credit Union, instead. NOT honest or honorable people there! So, it was nice to get those discounts (-$11,127.00) but a REAL HASSLE to have to go through the dealer finance drill! So, look out for their hidden scams, at some crooked dealerships! We just love the car though and are happy we purchased it. Since then, I have seen a few - $7K Ford + - $6k Dealer = -$13K total discounts. I don't really know for sure but I don't think these Expy's are flying out of the dealerships right now. If you are a knowledgeable, do your homework and a good negotiator, I do think there are some good deals to be made, out there. Good luck!

Oh, forgot to mention that I got a set of new rubber winter tires for the 22 inch rims as well with my deal.

Just an FYI, I was at a nearby ford stealership this morning and saw 3x '24 Max's that had tags in the windshield that said "MSRP $88,371, - OUR discount $11K, - Ford cash $2K = total price $75,371" + title, tax, tags etc, so basically ~$78K +/- out the door....

I bought my new 2024 King Ranch for 20K off of MSRP. I know this is correct because I shopped a good bit for one and I knew my trade value and I know the difference I paid and I have the window sticker. But it was a program truck that they drove people to work in if they left their car...also probably used as a courtesy vehicle some.
I traded my 2017 Expedition XLT in on it. I shopped about 6 weeks before deciding on this one. I am a new member here also.
