Polarbear Or 1956markii

hey guys i have a couple questions.

if a guy buys a 05 f150 on the family plan and takes the 2500 rebate what would be a realistic interest rate be for say 60 months and for 72 months for some one with a good credit like a score of say 750

I am not going to get the 4.9 for 72 months and the 2500 rebate right thats getting cake and icing correct?

if it matters i am in central MO

I am kinda in a pickle i bought a 01 f150 back right before interest rates started dropping like a rock and to be honest i have learned alot about buying trucks since then any way i owe slightly more than my truck books for but it has 125K miles and i really would like to trade it off before i have any more problems with it would now be the time to cut my losses on it and trade?

The truck i am looking at is a 05 f150 5.4 supercab 4x4 xlt basically the same truck i have now only 4 years newer the family price on it is 27,589 what should i do?

Not sure what a difference a year makes, but Jeff got me 4.99% from one of his local banks last July. My score was probably 30 points lower than yours at the time too. A good interest rate along with a big rebate and a great price can be done I had an offer of 4.74% from USAA, but the difference in the payment was certainly not worth the effort. Let the dealer try to get you a good rate and check other outlets as well. If it's close, let the dealer arrange it.

The rate Keith got last year (4.99) is not unreasonable, with your cresit score for 60 months; 72 months would be higher.
