We started at a dealer like you list above. Salesman scurries off to some unknown place where he comes back with a paper with blue marker on it and some numbers written down (this is a large Denver-area dealer). They pumped me full of BS on the trade-in but refused to show us numbers on the new one WHILE also refusing to stop giving me a monthly payment. After an hour of requesting out-the-door cost and numbers, we finally got it only to see how they were recouping my trade. We left after 3 hours.
Second dealer is my local dealer. Walked in there telling them the stock number I wanted, pointed to my truck and said I was at the first dealer a month ago and it took me this long to recoup my sanity. In 35 minutes I had my trade amount, all the numbers broken down and ready to go, all it needed was the spousal blessing.
Not sure what you're trading, but I was dealing with a 2004 6.0l that I owned outright, kept in great condition, and wasn't going to part with without someone providing me an intelligent value.
I look forwards to not having to talk to a dealer for another 8-10 years, as I'm sure you will too.

"It has a special comfort and convenience package with nitrogen in the tires - $1000. Also the destination charge on the sticker only covers delivery to the port of Houston, we then have to pay another $1000 to get it to the sales lot...its standard sir." BS. When I told them I needed to call the regional Ford rep to confirm the delivery charge they took it off as a "favor", just for me, only good for today. Douchy.
I really love running those guys around in circles.

If you sell privately, make sure you're taking into consideration the tax savings you'll get when trading. You'll only pay sales tax on a portion of the new truck's value when trading. If they're offering say $20,000 and you're saving $1,500 in taxes, you'll have to sell privately for at least $21,500 to break even. Just reference figures.

So my local dealer just called me again to give me even more on my trade in..
09 Silverado LTZ with 48000 miles. So now They are offering me 29500 for it.
I'm just stuck on the KR... it wasnt really what i was looking for, and this dealer is trying hard to push it on to me because its been sitting in the lot for a long time... All i want is a '12, black leather, heated/cooled seats and i'm fine with the rest. I feel like the KR takes 5k right out of the negotiations.... So now i'm at 29500 for a trade in, and 53xxx for the KR (1FT8W3BT5CEA00772) with no Navi.

Any chance you could go x plan or something. Are you a veteran? I like that the best because they have to show you the computer print out with all the numbers and then the price is already there from ford.

The first one op listed was 2k below xplan, haven't looked at the second yet. I dont want to give mis info but I just got 12k off mine, I believe sticker was 58k got it for 46k. I just bought it 3 weeks ago and been outta town for 2 weeks so I dont have the info in front of me. Here is their specials page and they have one similar to mine on it.

That seems to be where i'm at right now...
I did find a 2011 yesterday with 11k miles on it. Black on black fully loaded. I'm going to talk to them this week and see how much i can get them down off of their ridiculous starting price of 52999.
