It Has Arrived, Final Prep Time

My 2019 F-350 King Ranch CCSB has arrived at the dealership. Now I am getting everything in line for the delivery.
So MSRP is 79,500.
A Plan is 71819.04.
There was a 1,500 rebate when I ordered it. My Wife also just finished a college course a few months ago. So should qualify for the College Student Rebate.
So my estimates are 2,000 in rebates. Bringing it down to 69819.04

I am approved through a local Credit Union for 3.49-3.99% depending on time 60-84 months. Ford appears to be offering 500 if we finance through them. Should I finance through ford, then just payoff a couple days later with the Credit Union?

I know in the past there was the EAA rebate, PCO(Mine expired on Jan 2). Is there anything else out there that could help me get this lower?

Congrats you must be excited I would be! That’s a great offer thru your credit union fords best is 4.9 I believe for 60 months my credit union couldn’t beat it because I bought an f-350 which added 1% to the interest rate for some reason I’d go thru your credit union

If you ordered while the PCO was active they should have applied it

Hmm. I still have the brochure with the offer on my desk. Would they honor that? And I forget off the top of my head can you use PCO on A Plan? It is only a $500 PCO so not massive but would be nice.

I've asked this question before on this site. Not valid with A or Z plan. Doesn't hurt to ask anyway though .

Do Ford Financing and then when you get the first invoice, register online and get a payoff letter. Take that to your credit union and refinance. That way you get the FFS rebate ($500).

FFS offered me 8.7% for 60 months and a $500 rebate. I refinanced with my credit union at 2.95% for 60 months and never made a single payment to Ford.

You don’t need to wait for first invoice. Just wait about one week after purchase and call Ford Motir Credit for the loan to populate their system. They will search by either your Vin or name and find the loan details. Ask them for a “10 day Payoff Letter” either emailed or faxed to you. Get that letter immediately to your credit union and they will do the rest.

I’ve done this several times with FMC.

Wish my Credit Union did 2.95% but with the last few interest rate increases it slowly went up. Honestly I am thinking about doing the 3.99% for 84 months, as I would much rather invest the money than gain .5% to shorten it two years.

That's what I did. If you're in Fairbanks, Seekins didn't even blink an eye. They just requested a few days to make sure everything finalized. Just check if your credit union would tack on a re-fi fee. Mine tried to but I talked it down to make it worthwhile. Congrats on the truck - looks like a beaut!

Your first payment on an amortization table is basically interest. There is more interest up front. You’ll have one payment right?

I was not planning on even having one payment. Just wait a few days for the system to get the loan. Then pay it off. Say 1-2 weeks Max.

Yeah but if 2 weeks plus 10 days... probably isn’t worth it unless substantial discount.

The difference in total payments will be approximately $4,000 between 60 @ 3.49% and 84 @ 3.99% but your monthly will be approximately $300 less (assuring 75K financed). If you’ll invest the $300 you’ll come out ahead, if you spend it on all those mods that you’ll find on FTE you won’t 😂
