I'm shopping for one, and need to know how much under MSRP I should expect them to haggle down to.

If you don't mind sharing, just let me know how much under MSRP you paid.

Thanks a lot!

I got close to $6000 off a 2001 V-10 Limited last June and just bought a new 2002 F-350 PSD, CC, DRW Lariet for $5500 off list.

They should be doing some more finance specials here at model year end. Also got 0.9% on the X.

Not sure where you are located, but you can call Dennis Wise at All American Ford in Mocksville, NC. I have found that they cut right to the chase. This is a small town dealer that usually has a great truck inventory. Their inventory is a little low right now.

Hope this helps.

The first step is to know what the dealer paid for the vehicle. Use Edmonds to price out the vehicle you want.

Normally you can buy a vehicle at a 100.00 to 500.00 over true invoice unless it is in short supply. On rare occasions you can get the dealer under his invoice price. There is a 3.5% holdback money which dealers find to be sacred money but will use to move a particular car. As long as you are buying the truck with no trade in you can just shop for the best deal. Be careful on financing. It is another way a dealer can make up the difference on the super deal they just quoted you.
Happy shopping,

dloftis,

PM me @ [email protected]. I used to work for a local ford dealer in town. I can get you almost to invoice, maybe $100-$500 over or maybe even below invoice. AND I can tell you what to pay or not to pay for accessories.

Hold back is 3% not 3.5%

The Ford dealers in Texas get greater package discounts.
You sould look for a vehicle that has these listed on the window sticker.
I saved an extra $750 buy buying my Excursion in Texas. Also
paid about $7000 off sticker on a 2002 4X4 psd Ultimate No Bounderies

ASK to see the invoice!! That's the only way you'll know for sure. I would never pay more than $500 over invoice and cost (maybe 10%)for my accessories, but that's b/c I've worked at dealers for @ 8 yrs till now. Tell them you'll pay $100 over invoice,& see what they come back with. You make them the first offer, if they don't take it & come back w/ $1000 over invoice. You then have the opportunity to go to another dealer and say, if you give it to me for say $500 over invoice, we got a deal.

THEN, work out all the other differences, trade, rebates vs financing (always go for the financing.)

Beat them up on the destination charges ($500), yes they can take it off. You should be pretty much at invoice after you do all this. Oh yeah, accesories are marked up anywhere from 50% on up. Check around first. (you can bargain on the accessory $'s as well.)

Good Luck!
