So last September, had to get rid of my 2004 F-150, damn near cried at the dealership while I bought an 09 Honda Accord. Still have my 99 F-150, going strong with 145K! Anyway, went to a dealership in Evansville, IN. (Town and Country) drove a 2010 Super Crew XLT 4x4 5.4, MSRP $38,785. Sales guy came out the door at Invoice Price, around $35,000. Throw in the cash back and I was at around $31,000. Before the cash back and incentives how much more room do you all think I have? I am convinced I can get this guy down to $32,000. Then throw in the $3,500 cash rebate and the extra $1,000 on trade. Or I will go with the 0% whichever makes more sense. Just want some advice or pointers. Any help appreciated. THANKS!

 

If the actual invoice was 35K, sorry but I don't see you getting it for 3K below invoice. That's even under A plan. Double check your rebates too, I got 6500 just yesterday from Ford in rebates. I do live in a different state, though.

Good luck....

I grew up in Evansville oddly enough!

 

While the deals are a plenty on the 2010s right now, the F-150s are pretty much the only 2010 models I see left on lots around here right now, Ford, Chevy or otherwise. And, there are TONS of them. At this point, I would wait for the 2011. Much better powertrain choices and they already have $2500 cash back.

 

The new engines in 2011's are nasty! I do not need to get a new truck, just playing with numbers and seeing if I can do it reasonably. 6500 in rebates???? At this point I know where they have to be to sell me that truck, and the only thing I can do is get aggressive.

 

can a person combine ford's 2,500 customer with the 0% for 60?


i was also looking at a 2010 xlt.. but now im waiting for the 2011.
now im looking at the stx and fx4 models. i dont like the chrome on the xlt anymore.
my problem is i cant justify paying 35 grand for something if imma do my own mods. im wondering if its better to get a stx and use the extra cash i would save for mods

i wish the interior of the xlt and stx came in black tho

 

You can't combine rebates with the 0% for 60. The 0% is only good if you are going to take the whole time to pay it.

The nice thing about the rebates is sometimes it's better than the 0%. Have your sales person calculate both after running a credit check. In order to get Ford financing be prepared to show your income for the last 6 months (minimum). It's harder to get approved for Ford than other banks.

I went with non-Ford financing for the 2010 F-150 and got a better rate than Ford with the rebates. If you get the rebates, you can get an extra $1000 from Ford at a 4.5% rate. I only got $5000 in rebates (compared to the $6000 I could've gotten) but it was less in the long run than getting the Ford financing due to getting a rate of 3% from my bank!

I got an STX because I didn't really justify spending the extra on the XLT.. I also got a 2010 because the '11's didn't have many incentives, and there were plenty of '10's left on the lot. My truck was around the $35,000 range and before incentives I had the sales person down to $32,500. You can definitely talk the sales person down. If you don't think you can, go to a dealer who doesn't make commission. There was one in my area and it was easy. I just told them, this is what I want and for this much (based on another dealer's offer) and she said let me see if I can do that. They came back with a yes. Haha. I love my Ford F-150 so far!

 

I agree 3k is going to be impossible
i believe the 6500 rebate is for XLT only

 

I'm with you, I'd rather have a '10 also.

Go back in on Saturday. It is the last day of the month, and that will make a difference. Not sure how much, but it will.

If that does not work, wait until the 2011s start showing up. The 2010s will drop a bunch when the new models show up.

If you wait, again, try to go in at the end of the month. A lot of dealers get itchy to make their end of the month numbers.

Time is on your side. That puts the ball in your court.

 

could be december before the 2011 come out.

but i myself wanted the 5.4 and not the new 5.0 replacement engine.
