I caved!!!

I ordered an F350 Lariat Ultimate almost a month ago. But I found this truck at a dealership today and I got a better deal on it, so I caved! I don't need the payload of the F350, I just ordered it to have the extra payload just in case.

I really like this truck!

I caved for a similar truck to my order too. The dealer was all for it! I guess they think a bird in the hand is better than two in a bush! Enjoy!

Great looking truck... I've got one in Ingot Silver ordered. What kind of deal did you get?

What are the obligations when ordering did you have to put some money down and then did you lose your deposit when you jumped ship? Just wondered how all that works.

I didn't have to put anything down. At the time of order, my dealership would not sell me a Platinum or KR for invoice because they said they are selling too fast. I ended up finding this Platinum for about $1k under invoice and then got the $1k rebate.

I think generally they require 500 bucks down in most cases.

I put 500 down on my order as well, I don't think they were too concerned however.

Very nice! You found the exact truck I ordered the beginning of December just sitting on a lot! Meanwhile I'm waiting to get mine at the end of March. Funny how that works. I'm obviously biased, but I love your truck! Congratulations and enjoy it!

Thanks guys, I'm loving this truck. This may be the first time I've had to read a manual, there are so many buttons and options on these trucks! It's also my first diesel, so I am a rookie.
