Build your own, negotiating price question
#16
I actually threatened to walk out on the purchase of my '08 F250 due to doc fees (it was used with 26k miles when I bought it). He had the paperwork written up with a $50 doc fee and I told him we had agreed on a total price including fees, and I would leave if he didn't remove it. He was miffed when he had to redo the paperwork, but I don't stand for that trickery BS!

Agree. Bought a new Explorer for the wife last year using the TC price & made them agree to that price + tax & license period. Not one dime above & it worked great. When looking at the 2015 F150 one dealership had on the lot a couple weeks ago they had something like a $1,500 Dealer Markup fee added to the bottom line. I'm guessing they tried to justify it to any poor sap who'd entertain it by saying they're hard to find if you don't want to order one.

There are many options missing from true car site. Dual panel moon roof, lariat sport package, and extended fuel tank to name a few. If you go to x-partner and do a build the dealer should at least match that price for any one interested. All options are available on the x-partner site. You can save anywhere from 3k to 5k from MSRP depending on how much you spend.

I have a 2015 F-150 Platinum on order.
I built the truck on the Ford web site first. I then printed off the build sheet and sent it out to about 6 dealers to see what they would order it and then sale it to me for. No trade, just truck including destination fees.
I had one dealer only go down to their invoice price. A couple of dealers dropped out quickly.
I ended up with two dealers that I then had work back and forth against each other. I ended up about $2500.00 under invoice. The only difference between the two dealers was that one cried uncle before the other one. They were within about $250 of each other.
After all of this, I discovered the web site "True Car". Went there, built the same truck - my deal beat their "certified best deal" by about $3000.00.

Exactly what your looking for and subtract anywhere from 3 to 5 thousand and start negotiating from there. Keep in mind that they get a 3% hold back from the MSRP directly from Ford. So they will make there money.

As posted elsewhere; you can use the Mustang Club of America's number MC405. Once entered on the indicated page it will redirect you to the standard Build and Price page which has the "partner prices" vice the MSRP price. These are very close to the invoice price. I did this on a truck similar to your build and got an x-price of more than 4K less than MSRP.

I cannot give you a direct link because you have to login. The company your affiliated with should have info on obtaining the code. You can use someone else’s code to get in and look around but when It comes time to purchase they verify your affiliation with the partner company.
Go to fordpartner.com. Once you do you will be required to enter in your “partner Code” it 5 letters or numbers long.
Then you will be directed to a welcome screen where you will have 3 categories.
The Xplan Discount- ( this is the section where you will click the link below that says pricing and incentives.
XPlan rules- I would read through these as with everything there is some fine print.
Get your pin- This is the last thing you do before you finalize the deal. If you obtain a pin it expires within a week.
