Will it work?

I am ready to pull the trigger on a new truck. Only certain dealers have what I want. I am looking for a supercab with short box and a 5.4. I was going to go to a local dealer cuz the guy is persistant. I was going to check it out and do a test drive. HOWEVER, I just got a mailer from the last dealer we bought from (a 2004 Explorer from Sunrise in Fontana) and they sent an ad saying they will beat the Ford Family by a grand. Since Sunrise doesn't have what I want...I want to see if Pasadena will take the deal if I say I will buy right there if they match it...

What do y'all think?

I think the finance department at the dealer in Pasadena is stronger than death, that's what I think. Don't kid yourself, not only do they plan on recouping that grand, they've got to pay for the mailer too. But, if they have what you want...

Give it a try...just be careful...seriously. Whenever a deal sounds too good to be true, it generally is.

Well we picked up the truck I wanted at I think a fair deal. They didn't do the 100 extra off, but they gave 8500 for the Ranger. THey only wanted to give me 8000, but I said no deal if they didn't come up.

Details are:
F150 XLT
Dark Shadow Grey
5.4
Power win./locks
Super cab - short bed.

We only financed I think arounk 15K after tax and all that.
