Need Advice Buying New F150 From Other State

Fly down there, test drive it, make the deal and then have them give you a 30 day temporary registration so you can drive it back. Don't forget to do it on a weekday so you can call your insurance agent and have them fax a copy of your insurance policy so it will be insured when you drive it back. Good luck....
good luck.

Sorry, No Way. Make the deal before you fly down there. When you get there test drive and negotiate if there is anything not as advertised. Also, remember when you negotiate the initial deal - negotiate eithe as loaded or include any additional such as bedliner, mats, wheel well liners, mud flaps, etc. Also, don’t forget to include a warranty and don’t be afraid to negotiate that as well. They make huge markups on these items. Last item. Make sure the dang thing has a 36 gallon fuel tank. Don’t accept no puny tank as you will immediately regret it. Fly down with round trip ticket if your not comfortable you can walk away. Make sure they agree to pick you up at the airport.
good luck.
And a round-trip ticket is usually cheaper than a one-way ticket. Strange, I know.

I know a guy who tried to do that a couple of years ago and the dealer said they don't negotiate online or over the phone with people hundreds of miles away. They told him to come in and talk to them in person. They said they had negotiated many other times with people in other parts of the country who never showed up to close the deal after they had spent a lot of time negotiating so they didn't do it anymore.
I know that if I have a used car for sale I don't negotiate over the phone with people who call and the first question out of their mouth is what's the least you'll take for it? I tell them to come here and drive it and then we'll discuss the price....

I’d like to say this was the end of it but ya but Ford does not offer Tow Mirrors as part of any tow package. They called me back about 24 hours later and informed me that tow mirrors could not be guaranteed to work on my truck as there were many variations and that all the functions may not work. I politely told them that I would be down to drop off the truck and would take my business elsewhere and find a truck with them already installed. By the time I got there they had another truck (window sticker) from another dealer that they were willing to get and trade. Of course the truck cost significantly more. I said NO, just give me the keys to my old truck and I’d go do business elsewhere. In the end we came to an agreement and I drove out with a year newer truck with tow mirrrors, several more options at a couple hundred difference. Not all deals end this way but I was fortunate that I couldn’t be rushed.

Youd better watch it. By law, you are required to pay the difference in tax to the state in which you will license the truck, or your address. I bought dozens of trucks over the years, many in Wisconsin. If I titled it in Wisconsin, I paid their tax rate. If I brought it home to Illiniois, I got stuck paying to the flatland state the additional 2%.
