New Rig
I took delivery of my new 04 Lariat CC 6.0 PSD 4x4, Wedgewood blue over sandstone, got it on Saturday. Got what I think is a pretty good deal on an 04 closeout. This is my first Ford and my first Diesel.
I have to say...I am a bit worried after reading some of the threads about problems.
I also have to tell you if you have the same truck with the 18 inch wheels do not take it into a DFW airport parking garage, just becasue you make it under the pipe does not mean you won't catch the roof...ouch!

There are a bunch of us on this forum from the DFW area.
I've been in there with mine. I think the foundation may have shifted. I had to back out of one of the garages when the roof squeezed down too low.
I now park on the top only in open air.

How did you get it for 31K? I can get the D plan which I hear is basically as good as the A Plan but I am still around $39K. About 7K off of MSRP.

Some are more "persistent" than others....
the old "studied disinterest" always seems to work for me...
yet I only got 10K off msrp on my X....
(even though MSRP is a ficticious number and we should be talking about how close to invoice we got it for... since invoice has the 3% holdback to work with )

I signed something to defer 3k in rebates back to the dealer, as I recall the rebate was from FMC. They gave me a crud interest rate so I am currently doing a refi with my bank.
Has anyone ever done this? Seems too good to be true, get a rebate for financing with FMC then just go refinance it. I asked and they told me no penalty for early termination or payoff.
