They will go below it, but not much and it is very hard to get them to do so seeing the next person to walk in the door will most likely just pay the employee price.

When it comes to cars I would not look at domestics anyway. They do not hold value well at all and tend to be less reliable.

MSRP? Sure, have my money...I don't want it....

People who pay MSRP for a Ford or ANY vehicle that isn't very rare or in high demand should realize they are throwing it away and they should give it to me.

Who said anything about paying MSRP, she said they are already taking a good chunck off MSRP.

It is obvious people use MSRP as a guide for price. Ignore it completely. It is a useless number.

One thing to keep in mind with a domestic right now is you gotta be buying it with the intention of keeping it till it falls apart.

They are heavily discounted but the resale already sucks and these employee discounts are going to lower the resale even more.

It sounds like a hard game to play but if you end up changing cars every few years you'd want to buy something that has ridiculously high resale, so you only ever pay the difference.

I just e-mailed my next door neighbor " Framingham Ford"

I told them what I have for a deal and what i want for my trade as far as what has been gone through with the Westboro dealer.
I asked if they had a similar or matching vehicle and what they can do for a price..

Let the Games begin!

Seems the 3K was the trade they offered.. I told him if thats the case there is no way i could loose that much on my Explorer. I just bought the thing less than 3 years ago for 21K.

We went back and forth and I told him I research the value and found trade in was ranging from $10,500 - to $11. He pretty much said due to the used car market, there is no way he can get me that.

He came back at me with $8500 and said when I come down Thursday he will work the numbers out and get the trade closer to KBB Value to make th deal.

So now the price is $28,536
Minus my trade of a minumum of $8500
So for under $20K financed OTD it's a good deal!
HE is Holding the truck for me without a deposit till Thursday!

Thats what I have been thinking of doing, but selling a used vehicle, especially an SUV right now is tough..... Still an option and I would be able to rid the truck for under 11K get the 3+ in rebates and low APR finacing ! I could make this more of a financial benifit in my favor. I would just have to hold on to the X till it sells....

Hey Squid, I was just looking over your original post here and something is not right.

You listed the msrp at 34k. A fully loaded lariat should be closer to 40k, plus that cash back rebate should be availabe even if you are trading in a vehicle. Should not matter. It should end up being about 9k off of MSRP and then minus your trade in. The more I think about it, it sounds like they are stroking you a bit.

MSRP is $38,115.
Employee price is $32,038.50
Minus $3000 Rebate
And another $500 I worked in..
Price went down to $28,536.50

and subtracting a few other things!
Now If I get my $10K for my explorer I am in like Flynn!

Or do you think I can do more?

Help quick I am about to head over there....

Thats what I'm afraid of! I feel safer with you behind the wheel as to Kieth!!!!! He would test the thing for sure....

I might bail out of work early to get my new toy.... I took pictures with a dig cam I have here at work, but this dam virus screwed up all the computers and I can not get the program opened to download them. Eveything was still in plastic and it only had 2 miles on it!

Depending on how Anal you are with the truck, i'd tell them not to prep it. they have to do certain this, like checking the fluids and stuff, but don't let them wash it they will scratch it all up. when i bought my last car i picked it up with all the plastic still on the car, drove it home and detailed it...

[rjh200]

Sounds like you did pretty well. Congrats on the new purchase.
Now go pick it up, Lets go mudding. My 1500 is 3 weeks old and has not seen the mud yet. Poor deprived truck.
