It wasn't that great--the big discount was if you used their credit for finance.

So at the end of the day that truck was really 34,800.

Hence why I walked out and went home in my old truck.

So you didn't buy the truck? They let you take a 140 mile drive and let you walk away?

I'm in love! The damn thing has MORE power than my 5.4L Triton WITH a damn tuner. I should have bought one of these from the get go.

I got $30k for my 2 month old 2010 F150.

That's my old truck beside it!

I'll have more pics when I get back--I need food.

That's a little misleading when you said you bought it for $31,800. We're all thinking you drove it home to keep. What's up with that?

So you didn't get the EB, and you stayed with your 2010? I'm confused.

If they were going to sell you the truck for $31,800, and give you $30,000 for your truck, why didn't you just finance the $1,800 and pay it off in 3 or 4 months?

There may be more to it than what we may think.

shortride,

I'm sure there is. And people wonder why car salesmen have such a bad reputation.

The large dealerships seem to be the worst. I really don't blame the individual salesmen, though. It is encouraged, if not demanded by management.

What was the name of that show that was on Discovery or A& E, etc? Was it Car Kings?

I think they were in Vegas.

You should do like I did with the F-250. Took there cash on the Ford financing deal, then before the first payment was due I refinanced at my credit union a MUCH lower rate.

there may have been an early payoff penalty. I had one of those a few yrs back. you had to have the loan at least 1 yr or they charges some ridiculous % of the total value fee.

or, the OP didn't sign any paperwork the right way and the dealership tried to change #'s. Been there, done that. Luckily the way the law is, if they change the paperwork that is not in your favor, you can simply walk away.
