Decision Time! Keep my 2022 or trade for the 2023?

I am sitting on the proverbial counseling couch seeking advice from fellow Mach-Ers. It’s a good problem, I just don’t know which way to go and need your recommendations. Here’s the scoop:

1. In September 2022 I ordered a new 2022 Mach-E Premium AWD Ext in Rapid Red with Space Gray interior. That obviously became a 2023 model as the production dates extended Into April.

2. In October 2022, I found a new 2022 Mach-E Premium AWD Ext in Triple White with Space Gray interIor at a dealer in Louisville and purchased it at above list (but eligible for 2022 $7500 tax credit!). Shipped to car to my house and have enjoyed the car ever since. Never thought I would want a white car but I love this color. And reinforced how much I LOVE the Mach-E!

3. The April 10th production week actual held and I received notice today that my car is shipping with a late-May arrival to the dealer. The sticker is at $63,290 with delivery at the new lower pricing.

So the question is - do I stick with my 2022 with 3,000 miles and pass on the 2023. Or do I upgrade to the new 2023 and trade in my 2022? I like both colors. I appreciate the advice!
Since you have paid your 2022 taxes and know what credit you received, just subtract the credit you received from your 2022 price. That is the base price that you should aim for.
The buyer will not receive a IRS credit because he is buying from an individual. He would if it came from a dealer. Go figure.
That might not be appealing to a buyer.
At any rate, determine what you can sell the 2022 for and compare it to $63,290. If there is a huge difference, then keep the 2022.
You didn't specify what you paid for the 2022, so only you know the answer.
