Now you can forget the demo! You're not going to save a dime vs. a brand new one- unless you just have to have that particular truck.

Well the color is nice.. but I can wait... however
.... umm everything ive found though suggests that the new family plan does not apply to the 06's. And im wondering if i order if im going to lose some other rebates?

So not really sure where this puts me with pricing.. Im confused at this point as in another post someone suggested that now is the time to buy if your going to do it...

OK, let's keep it simple then.

1) The demo. You like the color, equipment, and I'm sure it's in good shape or you wouldn't be considering it (memo: my demos are better than new- so I'm not necessarily saying a demo is undesireable). Ford just set the price for you, so it's all on the table. It's there, it's available,and the money's reasonably right.

2) New '05 (zero miles). Don't know availability in your area, but in mine it sux. Is this an option?

3) '06. Yes, you'll lose rebates...but it's a year newer, and you have the best shot at getting exactly what you want. Is this important enough to offset the lower price of a '05?

I have an 03 F250 with a V-10, in the city I average 9 mpg. On the highway not towing driving 70 to 80 mph I get 16 mpg. towing my 6500 lb trailer at 55 I get 9 mpg at 65-70 I get 7 mpg. how much do I pull the RV 5-6 times a yr. How often do I drive in the city, not a lot I drive my cherokee to save fuel. when do I drive it on the highway, when ever I can. The MPG improves a little as the engine is broken in. How much for an oil change? 19.00 at the stealership. cost saved over a 6.0 when I bought mine about 4800.00. Do i wish I had bought a diesel, only at the pump when I tow.

They are now offering me this truck at around 35,500..
Does this sound resonable?
Could I get more off?
Should I jump or keep looking?

Grab it! I just delivered a used '03 with 17K miles on it for not much less than that.
