Employee pricing is back

I just bought a truck last week and today, we hear that Ford is now offering employee pricing due to the fact they lost the title of best selling car in america to the Honda Civic.

Where can I check the employee pricing?

BFD.

1.) You can talk them into a lower price than an "employee price".

2.) You already bought your truck.

I'm thinking about buying another one for my business.

I wonder if I got a good deal or not.

Here is the deal. I got a black on black Lariat, parking sensor, captain's chair side steps, tow package, power sliding window, heated seats,6 disc, adjustable pedals,sat radio.
Retails for $37K. I got it for $26K. it was a simple price match. The other dealer marked theirs down another $1K.
However, the dealer I bought it from had all the options I wanted and color. They also gave me a great deal on a trade in so I bought.

If I can get another Lariat (MSRP 33K) for $20K, I'd get another one. I don't need all that stuff I got in my 1st one. I just want another black on black truck with leather.

Dang -- I wish I was in the market to replace my daily driver Ranger, but I'm probably a year or so away from being able to do it. I'd like to order me either another Ranger or a Focus.....

Supercab or Supercrew? Regardless, 26K is a killer price IMO.

I agree with suzuki. I can do MUCH better than employee pricing.

My dealer has a ton of trucks on the lot and they are not selling to many...Getting him to cut prices is not been easy in the past...The 08 Ford focus is selling big time now...The things 1.405/liter gas will make you do...That's $ 6.325/Canadian gal...ouch...

Yes, you got a fair deal. I paid a little more for my Lariat, but it had a MSRP of 42k.

Ford's "employee pricing" incentive plan will allow customers to buy an F-150, F-250 or F-350 vehicle for the same price as the automaker's employees from June 3 to June 30, Ford marketing chief Jim Farley said on a monthly auto sales conference call.

"We want the sell-down to go smoothly," Farley said.
