Now if there are incentives from Ford; those are also deducted. A few weeks ago my incentives totaled 4750.00. So my total discount was 10,650 off of list. Later in the model year, there could be more incentive $$$; but selection won't be as good.

Now just because the truck has demo miles, that does not mean there is another 4, 5, or $12,000 for a discount. The money is just not there. So, if you get to purchase the truck at dealer cost or below you are already getting the best deal, regardless of the miles.
The benefit of buying a Demo is that your warranty will have the demo miles added to the 36,000 factory warranty. It's supply and demand; if the dealer is being aggressive in moving certain vehicles, then there is simply no more profit to give up, demo miles or no.

So, you can choose to negotiate on truck that is on the lot, or have them dealer trade or just order from the factory and you can get your vehicle with just a few miles.

I have purchased many vehicles that were in demo service and never regretted the extra miles because I received extended warranty coverage on those miles.

Hope this helps.

BTW, I looked at a Demo at the dealer I always buy from. The Salesguy told not to buy, because the Manager drives it like he stole it. That was good advise.

Many Ford dealers try to mislead customers by acting as if the rebates were reductions that will affect thier profit...during the deal you will actually have to sign the rebates over to the dealer from Ford. Hope that makes sense...in a nutshell, don't let the dealer mislead you by saying "oh we can't lower our MSRP" due to the rebates....rebates have nothing to do with the dealers profit...they come out of Ford's pocket - not the dealers!!

Knowing me, if I were the GM at a Ford dealer, I would drive dam near everything like I stole it. I drive my Lariat like that from time to time. Don't misunderstand, I'm not talking about WOT all day long, each and every day.
