Good Price ?
I've been waiting to buy an 04 F150, but I saw a really nice F250 at a local dealer today. It's an extended cab 4x4 leather interior and really sharp looking. It stickers at 35,990 but with rebates and all I could get it for 29,906.
Does this sound like a good deal or should I be able to do better?This would be the first new vehicle I've ever bought, so I'm not use to dealing with dealers to much.
Thanks.

I have to assume that this is a V8 or V10, and that the rebate is $2,500. That means you're paying between $400-600 over invoice, which is a good deal, but not a great one. Most dealers would sell this truck for right around invoice; some maybe even a little below. That covers the dollar part. Is this a dealer that you'll be using for service? Are they convenient? How well-trained are their technicians? Do they offer anything else besides price (free oil changes, service loaners, extended service hours, etc.)? Is this a dealer you want to do business with? Remember: the lowest PRICE is not always the best DEAL.

Thanks for answering the post. Yes I will be using this dealer for service and they're only 5 miles away.
I should say the price also included 1900 in tax.
So I guess it would be a pretty good deal.
I just drove it.Thanks.

Well I picked up the F250 today
What a good looking truck!!
Thanks for all the help 1956MarkII !!!
Here's the deal I got............2003 F250 4x4 with th 5.4 V8 auto 3.73:1, XLT Sport and Fx4 packages, black leather interior with power drivers seat, clearance lights and towing package.
It's Oxford white with the white painted grill and bumper ,looks really sharp.
Came to 30969, now I just have to keep the paint off the seats, cause it is a work truck.
