I got exactly $8,406 off mine back in at the end of July.

 

I got around 9K on my 05 XLT at the end of july of 05. Took about 3 trips to the dealer

 

Well for the record, and don't hold me to this because it's been so long, I got my truck when Ford had the Employee Discount thingymejigg going on and I ended up getting the truck for a little over 9K off the sticker.... or thereabouts.

But hey, I obviously got ripped off going by some people's "deal of a lifetime," right?

I don't really understand how dealerships work [I have a little info on it], but it beats the crap out of me how a dealership can make a profit by taking 12K-plus off the sticker price as many here claim.

FFS, even the popular "dealer holdback" is 2-3K at best, so where's their profit margin from?

Anyone care to enlight a fellow Ford owner?

 

I don't know but when I searched, people were able to get $12k msrp after rebates and incentives for the past few years. I was hoping it was still possible

 

 

I got my truck in Jan 04, it is a 2004 model (new body) and I got 6K off sticker. It was 38.7K and I got it for 32.2 and I thought I was doing good.

O Well it is paid for and I love the truck.

 

for those of you who got 10k +/- off, was this with a trade in? also was it financed, and if so what rate?

 

Yes, it is very possible to get over $12K off the MSRP (Window Sticker), but probably not until the end of November/December. And, it will only be on '07 models actually on the dealers lot. I'm currently seeing ads in the paper for $11K off '07s, but it's on the XLT's.

For the record, I bought my '04 Screw Lariat 4X4 on December 30, 2004 for $12.5K OFF the MSRP. I knew there were several dealers in Houston giving $12.5K off on in-stock items and by chance ended up finding the exact one I wanted, to the tee. And yes, the 12.5K was before any cash was put down by myself.

 

Same here. I bought mine at Joe Myers in Houston and it was a FX4 that was on the lot. I got them to sell it to me at $12K+ off of sticker and I even made them give me a spray in bed liner! I'm one of the lucky ones I guess.

 

You guys are making me think I got rip off, I bought my 05 in Dec. 04 and paid 29,100 (not icl tax tag title) and sticker was 35,570. I though that was a deal but guess not, I did get 1.9% instrest tho.

 

There were 2 different dealers in DFW advertising $11k off sticker this weekend.

 

No, I don't think you got ripped off.

I think many here are pissing on other's legs and trying to convince us a storms brewing.

 

See my other post. .

 

I used the x-plan in 5/05 to get a fully loaded 05 Screw FX4.
That took 10,000 off the sticker (41,000 to 31,000)
Then 500 x-plan rebate
Then 3,000 in Ford rebates
= 13,500 off sticker
Then take another 7,500 off for paid off trade
= Out the door price of 20,000

can't beat that with a stick.....

like i tell my friends, start a cycle with your vehicles, keep'em for 5 years and never finance over 5 years and always put as much down as possible.. you'll be pleasantly surprised with the equity you have in your trade when you go to buy your next vehicle...

Anyway,remember Ford and many of the other US manufacturers started pulling back on their inflated MSRP prices starting in 06... so getting huge discounts off of MSRP prices is becoming harder....

 

I think this is where F150online members get confused. You write out the door price of 20K but you dont mention tax ,title and tags. I pretty much got the same deal as you for the same truck (05 FX4 screw) at the same time with the x-plan.No trade in. I took financing and that gave me another 1k rebate but i paid the truck off on the 1st payment with no finance charge or penalty. Unfortunately tax here is 8.75% might have been 8.5% when i bought , dont remember. My truck stickered just under 41k and my OTD was 7k less with tax , title and tags
