Nothing yet. I have enough posts but not been a member for 10 days here yet....

Will keep trying. Going to RV show next week and that will help determine what truck gearing etc.....really like the F250 gas but 4.30 gearing is hard to come by.....most rv's looking at are around 10K so my thoughts were the 4.30. SuperCab and 4x4 6.5' bed etc.....probably XLT. Lariat and Platinum are way out of price range... I would even look at a 2016. Fun to research and figure out what you need only to not be able to easily find it! LOL

This is to give you an idea. Will be in touch....thanks.

I do. Because frankly, I'll never see that sales guy again. I typically buy my vehicles every 10-15 years.

I want the absolute bottom dollar price to get whatever vehicle I want out the door. And being patient does nothing put keep more money in MY pocket book.

I shop in my market but 9 times out of 10 the dealers here don't have stock on vehicles with options I want. That and their dealer doc fees are absolutely asinine here. It's not uncommon to see a $799-899 doc fee.

Go 90 minutes down the road and BAM. $199-299 doc fees are common (which I attempt to negotiate out in the price).

I get the dealer has paperwork to file but $800-900? That's unacceptable.

Perhaps if dealers/manufactures didn't play games with hold backs, rebates, and interest rate gimmicks - never mind price increases to offer decreases I wouldn't have such a problem with believing the price they're offering is the best price.

If they're going to play the game, so will I. And I don't mind doing it.

So...what is the best source of realistic invoice price?

Is a price given under X Plan still negotiable?

Would anyone care to state that if you got X plan plus rebates you did just about the best you could lacking access to A-Z plans?

Or is it just a better strategy to inquire if a dealer will beat X plan?
