...kind of.

This past Friday I placed an order for a 2011 F-250. This is only my second truck, my current being (don't laugh) a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 - regular cab, short bed, standard, V6 which I bought new. After many years and many miles it's time for it to go so I am very excited to have this new replacement in a month or so.

The F-250 is a silver XLT, crew cab, 4x4, diesel with with only a few extras as follows:

* XLT Premium
* FX4
* backup sensors and camera (for the wife)
* remote start
* upfitters and HD alternator
* console
* 18" wheels
* 3.31 electronic locker
* electronic shift-on-the-fly

The order was placed with Vernon Ford (http://www.vernonforddodge.com, Vernon, TX).

I'm very fortunate to have the means to acquire such a vehicle which is more or less for recreation (the Ram nor the F-250 is daily driver).

Regards,

Very nice. Congrats, and welcome to FTE.

 

I won't laugh, you got 12 years out of your dodge. Sure sounds like you've got a nice replacement coming, and quite a step up in amenities compared to your dodge.

 

Congrats on your new truck!

I just got the call that my 250 arrived at the dealership today.

Here is my question. I'm using United Buying Service to get a decent price and I'm getting the $2,500 rebate. Now I have the brochure with the $750 Private Cash offer. Should I be able to get that too? I haven't mentioned the $750 to the dealer yet. Picking up the new ride Saturday morning.

 

My understanding is that the $750 is to be applied to your benefit and regardless of any other benefits.

 

Congrats on the new truck and welcome to FTE.

 

Out of curiosity, when did you place your order? I ordered my F-250 on March 6 and received the VIN number last Friday. No build date yet.

 

So, did you get the $750?
