Hi everyone,
I just ordered an F-250 XLT with the 7.3 last week so I do not have a Vin or any other information as of yet. I just wanted to see how everyone's purchase experience went. The dealer did not have what I was looking for and he searched the state and only had a few close one. He said if I don't mind waiting 8-weeks we can order the exact truck I want. That was not a problem for me. I want to start purchasing items for it bed cover and such. I built the truck and then they made me an offer including their discount rebate and the trade amount for my current truck. The number worked out. My fear is when it arrives they may say well your truck is 2 months older or whatever and change the bottom line.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I don't want to spend a couple thousand dollars on accessories and then no deal.
I really am not expecting this to happen and everything has been smooth so far. Just wondering!
Thanks
Rudy

You have to ask your dealer for the rail car number to track it.

My deal is going to include trading in a 2006 tundra, so I'll let you know if they honor the amount they quoted for the trade.

Did you get the trade value offer in writing on the pending sales order? My dealer offered me an extra $4000.00 over all other trade offers to get me to "pre-trade" in my 2014 KR F350. They would not guarantee to give me the same deal at time of delivery for my order ( understandably so as my truck would be 2- 3 months older with additional miles and perhaps the risk of damage) So i took the deal and turned in my truck back at the date of my order 10/28 .

If you have a signed agreement and have put money down on the deal, there is no way that they can legally walk away from it.

I worked out a deal at the time I ordered that included a trade in. Part of the agreement was that the deal would be good even though 3+ months would have passed and the trade in milage would be higher. I was happy with the trade in price the dealer offered, and part of that was that the vehicle would have higher milage when the deal closed. The dealer honored the deal when my truck arrived, right at 11 weeks from the order date. If I had run up the milage crazy high I would not have expected them to. I could understand if a dealer wanted a clause about max trade in milage, but other than that, they should honor the deal you agreed to.

When I signed my deal on 12/12 and the saleslady said 8-12 weeks to delivery, I asked about the trade-in that they just evaluated and made me an offer on. She stated that the offer was good until the truck was delivered unless the truck was involved in an accident.
