Searching Inventory

[John Patterson]

I am trying to find a new '07 at a blow-out price but I have not found an easy way to search Ford Dealers inventories without having to call or look up each dealer individually. Is there anyway to search statewide inventory without having to put in personal info for each dealer or quote? One local dealer did find a truck that supposedly meets my criteria but he would have to do a dealer trade with a shop that is out of town. I would prefer identifying the dealer and going directly to shop so that I dont have to worry about some idiot driving back a trade to my city. I do have the vin if that helps. Thanks,

I searched all over the state, going to most every dealers' websites to check inventory. I also stopped or called local dealers. It was difficult to find an '07 at a blow-out price because I waited a little late in the year. But, I finally got a deal together and picked up truck yesterday, a new '07 SC 6.5 bed w/ 5.4, XLT, chrome pack w/18" rims, tow, limited slip, reverse sensor, elect drivers seat options. I paid $22,675 plus TTL fees. They had also dropped in a bedliner.

The first deal I had was with a local dealer. I was quoted drive-out price on monday so i went by that evening to leave a deposit so they could do a dealer trade, but then sales manager tried to jack me up for another $500 for their 'protection package', ie, nitrogen in tires, scotchguard, etc. Well, I left my check with salesman to see if they would rework the deal the next day. They called me and wouldn't drop the $500 so I offered to pay 200 more and they wouldn't budge, so they lost a deal over $300!

Great price! Was this 4x2 or 4x4?
