Here's my truck....$1,000 under dealer cost (invoice)....now I'm waiting 8 weeks

 

1k under invoice maybe, but not cost. They are getting a little bit of holdback.

 

Congratulations!!!

Under dealer cost or under dealer invoice?

 

Corrected the post. I find most people don't know the terminology, but I suppose on here are all the folks that do know!

 

Good call opting for the LEDs. So glad I waited to get my truck with them instead of settling on one of the 50 trucks the dealer had on the lot without them. Definitely worth the cost!

 

Great truck! Good luck with it. Post up some pics when you get it.

How much was the MSRP?

How much did you pay for it (what is $1,000 under invoice)?

 

Now the difficult task of waiting for it to be built and shipped!

 

Waiting 8 to 12 weeks... Hope you get it in 8, I didn't.
With a few minor difference we have twins. I opted for the electric steps and an F350. Congrats!

 

MSRP sticker price $75,475


Dealer Invoice $70,894.26


Order out price $69,894.26


Plus, I get the current $1000 Ford Rebate/Incentive guaranteed, so now the truck is $68,884.26, and if the rebate changes by the time I take delivery, I get the higher of the two. Got that in writing. I'm stoked!

 

Before taxes?

 

Before taxes, title, etc.

 

when you walked in there did you have a xplan code or did you just haggle and haggle and haggle?

was the dealer a large dealer or smaller?

im curious on your tactics to get such a great deal!

 

Some dealers are just more willing (or wanting) your business more than others, and will cut down to the almost bare minimum (bottom line profit) to get it. When I finally got my deal, I purchased at 'D Pricing' and pretty much got scolded out by "Frantz" (dealer member here) for getting too good of a deal, basically leaving my dealer with only bread on his table and no butter!

My tactic was easy and honest. I went to "Big" dealers out of my area, got quotes on my exact build sheet. Then I went to my preferred local dealer and said "here's what I got, I'm not here to beat you up, but if you can match or beat these out of town offers, I would like to do business locally with you!".

It probably helped that my local dealer knew that I owned a business in our town that uses a lot of trucks. Also I had my 2014 showroom detailed Denali sitting right at his front door. Dirty business? I don't think so (albeit whatever Frantz says), they had the right to say "no thank you, we can't meet or beat those quotes". But they didn't, and even went way below my lowest offer that was 60 miles away from me.

My dealer (who now really is) has my business, on my next one (for my business) if he even gets close, I'm in with him. Funny how that works.

So I will just say to anybody, if you're happy with your deal, that's all that counts, be happy!

 

Dang man. Thats great! Looks like I should walk into my local dealer with a bigger dealers comparison sheet

how many bigger dealers did you speak too? Did you go sit down with them and try and get them to beat the local guy?

 

FWIW, I never play the game of going back and forth playing dealers off of one another. There's plenty of data out there for you to figure out a fair price. I just tell each dealer I don't want to get into a protracted negotiation and to give me their "best and final" deal up front. I tell them that I'll be doing the same with other dealers and everyone has one shot.

I don't always go for the lowest price because other factors matter too. Once they've earned my business I tend to stick with them.

i had great working relationship with a dealer when I lived in another city years ago. My salesperson would sometimes call me out of the blue on New Years Eve and offer to make me an incredible deal on whatever I wanted just so they could push a unit out the door to make a sales quota. They truly were incredible deals.

Bottom line: treat people fairly and ethically and you'll be rewarded with fair deals.
