Purchase help - How close to invoice?
Hello friends..........
After allowing for a year for Ford to work out the bugs in the F-150s, I'm ready to buy. A concern I have is how much bargaining I can do. I've read about the incentives/rebates/cash back to buyers, but am unsure how close to invoice I can get considering all the cash back. I plan to pay cash, and am hoping I can swing a better deal if I don't finance. Is it realistic to offer $500 over invoice without factoring in the rebate money? I'm hoping that the plunging price in ford stock and competitive market will a buyer such as me.
Thanks much for your thoughts.

I think the Dealer makes gets a kick-back or possibly a percentage when you finance....depending on the finance company they use. If I were you I would not pay the whole thing in cash up front... you can probably get a great interest rate and keep most of your cash in your pocket...just make some payments for a couple years.
$500 over invoice is normal here in So. Cal.... I did it, and two of my buddies did it too...no haggling..plus we got the cash back rebate that was used towards the down.

I'm aware of that 
You might re-read that "FTE West Coast Buyers" thread. The only thing we can't accomodate on trucks is '05 SD's ('06's will be fine, though).
