IS that the sticker price or the final price out the door. If its the sticker price I dont know about lariat but that seems a little steep. I purchased my 05 FX4 SuperScrew for 27,715 brand new in nov of 05 in florida. This does not include tax and licensing fees. Its loaded 4x4 , 5.4, power everything and leather interior also it has the upgraded stereo with factory sub. The only thing it doesnt have is a moonroof.

I'd agree. I bought a 06 f150 Screw Lariat (brand new) 2wd loaded with options.
Sticker on the car was about 40K. I drove it off for 30K. This was NOT a teaser ad
truck from the newspaper. (I also got a full tank of gas - worth about $90 bucks here)
Also, I did some homework on the Ford extended warranty prices on the web. Printed out some quotes. I was able to get the finance guy to 'really sharpen his pencil' with this information in-hand.

Come on down to NC! You can find 04's and 05's for 22,000-26,000. They are all southern trucks that haven't seen snow or salt and most of them are loaded out! I just got my 04 Lariat Screw 4x4 for 22,000. That was tax title and tags!

I wouldn't be paying anything close to the second sticker price. Sounds like finding a different dealer willing to deal would be time well spent!! Your target price to pay should be $4 - $5 k under the first sticker price. Or better of course...

F1Sony: I will put a lot of money that you could get that exact truck for 31 - 32k. There are only a few options I don't have on mine and I am ~12k below that price.
heck, I even have the sun roof!!!!
Bruce has a great point. Most dealers will beat the cars direct price by a good margin.

If you really want to buy a new one, start with CarsDirect.com and get a price for the truck you're looking at with all options. Take that to a dealer with you and make them an offer. If you can't find a dealer to sell you the truck for the CarsDirect price, CarsDirect will send you to a dealer that will sell it to you for that price.
