Hi all,

Still negotiating...haven't found the deal I am looking for yet. Wondering if anyone has a line on who the Super Duty market ***** is on the west coast? I'm in WA state and could go inland too. Don't want to be more than 1200 miles on shipping. And, please, no lectures on the benefits of buying local. Regardless of what the front end tells you, the back end is more than happy to take your money for service and warranty work. It's a commodity purchase and I'm just looking for the best deal.

Our TT doesn't arrive for another month and the retailer will store it free for a month, so I have time.

thanks

 

I just received bids from Courtesy (Portland), Grisham (Portland suburb), and Kendall (Eugene). They were all within a few hundred dollars of each other and my local dealer was just a smidgen more so I went local. It seems to me that Ford has better control over pricing today than they did a couple of decades ago when information was starting to flow freely around the internet. Courtesy offered to give it another try but I don't accept 2nd bids as I want the best they're willing to give the first round... don't want them wasting my time.

 

 

 

Bickford Ford in Snohomish county or Fugate Ford in Enumclaw.

 

HomerJ,

Thanks. I see some restrictions apply. Anyone know what they are?

 

Homerj,

Thanks. I will give Jeff at call and see what they can do on an ordered vehicle. I have a late model, low mileage, high demand (2014 Burb LTZ) as a trade in so I'd prefer in state as you don't have to pay sales tax on the trade in amount. My low KBB trade in is $34,700 so that gives me a $3470 price advantage over ut of state. Does Jeff have a last name or at least initial if you don't want to post his last name.

Thanks

 

 

Thanks, yeah, the guys at sounds have great deals, unfortunately, all their vehicles are 176" WB. I would love to have picked one up there. I'm pretty sure they use an aged inventory algorithm which prices down as floor plan expires, so the best deals are on vehicles that have been there over 2 months. Since they don't have any on the ground that I would want and I need it by mid May, that won't work for me. Thanks

 

 

 

 

I bought my 350 gasser from Awesome Ford in Chehalis WA. Drove there from Seattle. It had been on their lot and advertised with a good price. Absolutely no BS, real good guys, best price I found and sales tax rate is better.
I shopped Sound in Renton, Sunset in Sumner, Ford of Kirkland and Ford of Bellevue. Only place I wouldn't go back to is Sound. Had a deal to buy a gasser 250 with my trade. Came back the next day, with 12 year old son to buy it, and they played the game. Price on trade went down $2000. Told them to **** in the wind and walked.

Best luck.

 

Homerj,

Called two dealerships today and both said they are still ordering 2018s. I'm going to call your guy at Bickford in the morning and see what he says.

thanks

 

Momach,

Thanks. Sorry about your experience at Sound. For what's it's worth, they"re usually a pretty good store. Sometimes even the best of us step in it once in a while.
