I hear ya Nort. My old Ford has treated me well but its got 160k on it and going to be making a lot of trips to Boston over the next year or two. Have been wanting a Porsche GT3 badly (used, can't afford new) but looks like I'll be spending that $$ on a new truck. -Not really pumped about spending 50k + on a truck...

Go to a site such as Cars.com, and configure the truck the way it's equipped. That should give you a ballpark invoice price. I wouldn't give any dealer a dime more than INVOICE price, with the rebates deducted on top of that. Period. Otherwise you are overpaying. If you know of anyone who works for Ford, or one of it's suppliers, you should be able to get an A, X, or Z plan price, which will be even better. Ford does discounting better than anyone, and there are plenty of salespeople online that can help you knock down a low price. If you happen to have a friend who does lots of fleet purchasing for a business, ask them to help you order. Most local dealers will match an out of state price to make a sale, if not, many dealers will pick you up at the airport to pick up your new rig.

You won't be disappointed. Yep....it's money and you know what........worth every penny! Besides.............gotta support FORD!!! :D That GT3 is a toy and certainly won't tow the boat! :drink:

Keep the Old Ford and get the GT3!! Makes the trip to Boston MUCH more fun

Ooohh! I so want a GT3, (orange please w/blk rims) but need a reliable truck to make the money.

Thanks for all the advise. This particular truck is a 2012, with the 2014's right around the corner, how much can I expect them to drop. -Years back, when I bought the '97, it was a left over, purchased in March '98 sticker was 28.5 got it for 21.5 -the dealer dropped 7k on that truck,

The voice of reason! Thanks Nort.

if you are a member of USAA try their car buying service. In order to be a memeber you have to be a vet or the child of a vet.

Bought a 12 last year....they are nice! But up about 12-15k from what they were 6-7 yrs ago....thank you epa,!!!

Kurt- your PM's are full. I have some info for you, email me at my screen name at gmail.

Ricky Fowler the PGA player drives a GT3 here in town that is the opposite of the one you desire. The orange wheels actually look pretty good on the blackish/dark gray body. Kid runs the GT3 hard and I have seen him at the track running his Nissan GTR through low 10 quarter mile blasts.

We have about 3 dozen PGA players living in the area (Tiger, Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus being the most famous) but most are not car guys though Tiger drives a S65 and Greg has had a sizable car collection over the years but you rarely see him driving anything but a late model Range Rover.
