Want to know if your getting a good deal?

Check this site out.It is really pretty cool.I just built an 11 on there and it gave me the best price and all the dealers around me that had the truck.It also said that the dealers that participate with the site will honor the price when you print the certificate no questions asked.

It's just like build and price on the Ford website it just gives you real world numbers.I hope this helps,I see alot of people asking about prices.

it gave me a best price of 44 grand for my truck. I actually paid a little less than 42k for it, so its pretty how hum on the deal.

the best deal I have seen is one I commented on earlier invoice -3% holdback then add $500 to that. now that is a pretty darn good deal.

CC is right...the information on that site must be provided by a dealer or dealer association. It's not disclosing anything beyond pricing that is available elsewhere.

This website is the parent company of Zag, which I used to buy both my '11 Sienna and '11 F350.

Bought my truck in July, and I was able to get it for invoice minus incentives. This less than three months after the intro of the '11s; I was VERY happy with that deal. This was $1-3K cheaper than any competing offer.

When we bought my wife's Sienna, the best offer I could get elsewhere was $30,700 for the van we wanted. Using this service we found a dealer 20 miles farther west who sold it to us for $28,900.

I have saved a LOT of money with these folks. They don't charge a fee or anything, but they will not reveal who their dealers are until you give them your contact info and request more info.

I don't know if you could order one with this option or not. My dealer traded to get this one though, and they honored the price.

Good info...I used to do this as a side job after I left car sales in the 90s. I had connections all over the state and could usually save someone 20% or better especially on imports like Honda as the local guys would always want sticker. A few phone calls and I would collect a bird dog as well as 25% of whatever I saved someone. Nice little gig till I got sick of it!

yeah the honda's they don't wanna deal on those. I tried buying an odyssey back in '06 and the best they would do was $800 off sticker. ummm not good enough!!!!! so I went next door and bought a sienna. for invoice less a 1k incentive at the time. besides the yota was a better looking van.

any dealer unless its some rare vehicle will sell a vehicle for invoice less incentives, noone should ever pay more than that. if you do your getting hosed. edmunds.com has invoice price just enter your options, then add $700 for dealer advertising, take off incentives and this is the max price you should pay. make a phone call to a dealer and say WILL YOU SELL ME A TRUCK FOR INVOICE PRICE LESS INCENTIVES??? its a yes or no answer. hint, they will say yes!!!!!! probably after they confer with someone. then call another dealer and say joe blow ford will sell me a truck for invoice less incentives can you guys beat that?? in my case ken garff said yeah by $500 bucks I said ok I am coming in to buy a truck. simple as that!!!!


you don't need X plan Z plan or any other bull crap, there you go I just saved you a few thousands bucks, feel free to donate me some money I take pay pal.
