Direct Factory Invoice?

Hello all,

I have the ability to get factory direct invoice pricing on a new F-250 through a local dealership, plus $5k off due to rebates. Of course, $2k of the rebates goes out the window if you're going to use their 2.9% / 60 month financing.

My question: is this the lowest price they'll go, or is this still negotiable?

thanks for any help

Are you sure you have that rebate situation right? It's $3,000 OR the cheap money- and there's no 2.9 alternative. It's 0.0/1.9/3.9/5.9 for 36/48/60/72 month term.

Alternative B is $1000 AND not quite so cheap money. There's $1,000 owner's loyalty on top of the first two choices.

Edit: because you're in Florida, you have to pay special attention to doc fees. We've had more than one member negotiate a killer deal on the truck, only to discover later that the dealer smacked him for jaw-dropping doc fees on the back end of the deal. how jaw dropping? We've heard stories of $1500-$3000! florida's one of the few states that actually allows that- your consumer protection laws are exceptionally weak in that part of the country.

nope, looking at it now --- it's $5k rebate, or $3k rebate and 2.9%/60 or 4.9%/72

thanks for the heads up on the doc fees. We get this deal as a benefit of the company I work for, so I doubt the dealership would try to take advantage....let's hope so at least.

This is interesting- I just pulled a VINCENT on one of our trucks (F250) using your zip code (33760)

$2000 Consumer cash or 0.0-1.9% APR
$2006 FMCC Bonus Cash

$1000 owner loyatly.

This is off of Ford's dealer website, which is more accurate than other info posted. "More accurate" being defined as, if the dealer of consumer has a dispute with Ford, the info posted on VINCENT will be the deciding factor.

What it doesn't show is a private offer- which it sounds like what might be going on.

thanks for the help, polar. However, my zip code is 33703 -- do I have the wrong information posted in my profile?

Naw, I'm not that good- I just grabbed a zip code out of the region.
