There is no reason to not have at least an X-plan pin. Makes things a lot easier, and if you can get better than that....just a bonus. But walking in cold just trying to work a good deal.......no thanks.

 

I paid $300 above invoice + $1500 rebate and an additional $750 rebate from Ford.com. Thank you to the lovely folks on here for this bit of info!

 

Also for accurate invoice pricing, use Edmunds, but add about $600 or so for the fuel charge and advertising charge. They don't include this, but it is a legit fee.

 

I know I am starting to sound like a shill for Woodhouse Ford in Blair, Nebraska. I am not. I am a satisfied customer from Michigan. It may be hard to believe but they have the trucks they show on the website. When I bought mine they had 77 F350 and 85 F250 6.7 diesels in stock. They are showing at least that many now. They had no issues with using the various FMC buyer plans.

A couple things come to mind reading this.
Allotment and economy of regions, my dealer is buying/transferring 2011 SD from MS, LA, and TX. They have transfered out some 2010's.

X-plan is different on each vehicle as I know it, I looked at several and was shown invoice to "prove" it.

The deal about getting so much over invoice, at invoice or below invoice is all a game. There are holdbacks and other volume incentives that we no nothing about, nor does your salesman, the managers and fleet guys know but not the regular sales people most of us deal with.

The deal comes down to how little you're going to pay at the time you want to buy. I walked away from two dealerships over a 200 dollar separation in "what are you willing to pay today". BTW, them and the dealer I bought my truck from were all fighting to transfer the truck I wanted from another dealer, none of them had it on the lot!

My truck stickered at $58,560 I signed for $49,700 (and they had to throw in three tanks of fuel and wash my truck when I came back from my vacation. I paid cash and I had no trade to mess with anything. I could care less about actual invoice, I know there was NO WAY that the truck was going to be bought for less.

 

nevermind, found it

 

so how does one go about getting the $750 off. I requested a brochure be mailed to me, never got one and never saw a coupon.

btw checked out what that nebraska dealer has, yeah they have a ton of trucks but they only have one 6.7 crew cab f250 that is white, it has the aweful light gray interior. I want the tan interior.

 

First, do you have Costco were you live? My assumption would be yes. Call Costco and find out which dealership in the area they use. Go to the dealership and MAKE SURE YOU TALK TO THE SPECIFIC SALES PERSON MENTIONED BY COSTCO. Find out what you want and what the invoice price is. Then if they have the truck on the lot you want it's $100 over invoice. If they have to get it from another dealership in the area then it's $250 over invoice.

After you get the "Costco" price you can always go to the dealership you want and say I can get Costco price. Two dealerships I went to said they would both at least match the Costco price. I made the dealership I bought from show me the invoice.
You save bunches of time and money.

 

I am a costco member, but what about getting the $750 off I hear some folks getting.

 

If you submittted your info for the brochure then the delaership should be able to see that your are eligible for the additional rebate when you are ready to buy. I never actually received the brochure yet either, but I still got the rebate.

 

You still get all rebates. At the time I bought it was a total of $1500. One of the other two dealerships tried to tell me that the invoice price included the rebates... they didn't get the sale.

 

cummins...

I was not looking for a 250 when I was there but they had a bunch of white 350's. It was not on my list of preference for color so I asked to the salesman why so many white trucks. Answer was they sell more white than any other color.

I'd hold out till next year if you can. They will offer large discounts just like they did on the 2010's.
They were 10 and 12K off MSRP here. I've been watching these 2011's and they're not moving off the lots like many say they are. Maybe it's a regional thing?

I've been watching this F350 Platinum white Tri coat( I think that's what it's called) with black interior and it's still there.
It's one nice looking truck.

Let them shake out the bugs and come down in price, then jump in.

 

Just worked out a pretty fair deal - invoice + 1000. Was working between 2 dealers one gave me considerably more for my trade - I bought my truck there.

 

I do not know where you are but I travel the country for work and I do not see them sitting in dealer lots anywhere I have been. Ford is 35000 diesels behind on ordered trucks. They must be selling somewhere. As to getting the bugs out, not many are showing up. Other than some squawks about some minor trans shift issues there have been no recurring BUGS.
