Question Can these be the real-deal? Where's the catch?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-F-350-Platinum-Crew-Cab-4x4-Fx4-2015-navigation-sunroof-leather-heated-cooled-v-8-diesel-/371080434997?forcerrptr=true&hash=item56661e1535&item=371080434997&pt=US_Cars_Trucks
$62.6k Buy it now? For a brand new fully loaded Platium F350 crew cab DRW 4x4 ???
How did I miss these? That dealer has a number of 2015's available on eBay..

(I hope I did not break the rules in posting the link)

There are dealers that deal in mass, and they are one of them. I have bought vehicles all over the country to save a significant amount of money, up until recently when I have been trying to help the smaller dealers in the area (especially mine with an excellent diesel mech!).

In 2006/2007 I traveled to NC to buy a brand new 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins 5.9. I bought it so cheap that I only lost about 2k in ownership when I traded it in for my 2011 F250.

The lifetime warranty that company offers is a good deal, if you live by that dealer. All maintenance must be done by that dealer, or you have to call a 1-800 number to get authorization if visiting elsewhere when a mishap happens.

Price out that truck on Ford's website and you will find that it is more than 10k below sticker price..

I find that odd - particularly on a 2015....

It's not that good. I pulled the window sticker, see attached! MSRP $68,750.

Real deal dealership, talk to them before I bought my 14 Platinum. Went with another dealer that is their main competition for a better price.

This is why one must pay attention to the fine print.

If I would have read what is underlined in red, I would have though that it didn't have to be with just that dealership and I didn't notice anything about the need to call to get approval.

Okay thanks for that.. I was going on the prices on Ford.com "Build" site and adding about $1200 for destination charges.

Well, my dealer ought to be standing in TALL COTTON with the money they are making off of me...

Dealer invoice seems to be the best available at this point in time on a 2015 model...

My contract specifically states I have to service at my dealer unless I call that 1-800 number and get authorization. The fine print must be read for these lifetime warranty contracts for sure.

I bought my last two Fords, a '12 Expedition and a '15 F-350 from them. They are priced at invoice then all the applicable rebates are figured in. They are a volume dealer and it is no hassle. Go to their website and you'll see how they are priced compared to MSRP. On the Super Duties it's around $10K off for the '14s. The '15s are a bit pricier because the rebates are only $500 instead of $3500 on the '14s.

They'll deliver too and pick up your trade if you have one. I did everything via telephone and email then drove the four hours to pick it up.

The only catch with the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty is that if Vernon doesn't do the service or maintenance, you have to call to get pre-approval for where you want to take it and you have to follow the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual.

Holiday Ford And Vernon are the low price guys around Texas. My 14 250 platinum with uplifters, clearance lights and rear locker as extras, was 48.8 OTD and Vernon was 49.1. Only catch is u had to finance with ford credit for the extra rebate. So I did then, paid it off. Both dealers r no hassle here's the bottom dollar.
