Like you I have driven a Chevy all my life.

I need a new truck so I went to look at the Fords, as I had pledged to myself.

Sticker shock..sticker shock!!! And they won’t budge on their price.

My new truck purchase is temporarily delayed until I can reconcile myself to the price.

Sticker price on this truck was $38.7 and it was on sale on the dealership’s website for almost 2 weeks for $25.7. I kept eyeballing it before I spontaneously hauled my butt down and purchased. It doesn’t have have the navigation system or back-up cam (who cares I say) but pretty much everything else. Lots of chrome too.

I’m happy as I felt I got a good deal considering what trucks are going for nowadays.

Bought a new F150 last sept. best truck I ever had, if you wait until august or so, they will likely have employee prizing I got $16000,0 off plus $1000, off from Ford as a regular costumer and $1000 off for Costco membership, sticker prize was $50500 and paid $36500 less trade in plus tax right now I think it was the best deal I ever made
good luck

I recommend that you look on the Internet and cost out the truck. Then call up a Ford Dealer, talk to sales, say you want to special order a F-150, ask if the dealer will give you invoice price.

If the 1st dealer doesn't try a 2nd or 3rd. I would doubt you would have to call more than that.

And when you go to the dealer to order, mention to the sales man you could possibly take one from stock if it was near enough to what you want.

I used to sell Fords, I liked to special order to get exactly what I wanted in the color I chose. The dealer in Huntsville AL wouldn't deal, but Albertville and Lawenceburg TN did.
