That is correct Fast...$339.52! (Ford Motor Credit).
Riverside Ford in Macon Georgia (90 miles away) sells their new F-150s at dealer cost (over the internet). Forget sticker price..no haggle at all. Give them a list of what you want..and they do the rest. No one in the entire area could or would touch this!! This is my second one that I have bought new from them..and a couple of my friends from work have/are ordering from them.
My MSRP was $26,640. Cost was just over $23,000.

2000 F-150 XLT, 4x2, 5.4L Supercab, Styleside, Black with silver two-tone, 3.55, class III towing package with heavy duty cooling package, 4 wheel disk ABS, overhead console, sliding rear window, keyless entry, dark graphite interior, in dash CD, Pendaliner bedliner, K&N air filter, rubberized undercoating, cabin filtration system, Bugflector II, 5W-30 Mobil 1, engine build 10/4/99

Roaul: The thing is I am going to by straight out. I don't plan on selling my old pickups. I am going to buy straight out, so leasing would be an option. Yes I want a new truck every 2-3 years, and I figure 12k a year in mileage. although payments only being 200-300 dollars less than a regular payment, doesn't balance. I can order my truck off of a site for 31k. Payments from it is 600 w/o a down payment, I would probably put like 10% to ?%, whatever it takes.
Another option, I don't mind paying every month, but my dad paid 2 payments a year on his trucks, one every 6 months, I think they were like $6k a piece. I could live with that.
Like you guys stated. This truck won't be easily used, although I take care of vehicles, regular maintence and regular washs. I will use it for a truck, towing considerable loads, a boat, and I would like to put aftermarket wheels and 31' tires.
The thing I like about leasings is you don't have to put alot of money on it, and you can have money for other things like a boat, etc. What about a security deposit, how does that work, do you get the full amount back?

I agree Pastmaster..each one has its benefits and draw backs.

Decisions decisions Desisions...
Current Price of a PSD is 4600 and tranny is 1095. Red diesel is $1.75 a gallon. Maybe I ought to stay in school and be a Docter or an attorney or a dentist?
