I am looking at a KR, and was quoted the following price:

Thanks again for your inquiry on the F-150. Below you will find your "Internet Special Price" for your review:


Make: Ford
Model: F-150
New MSRP: $41700.00
Discount: $3202.00
Rebate: $2500.00 + a 1000.000 extra cash rebate or 1000.00 gas card
Our Internet Special Price: $35998.00
Price is 34998.00 with the extra 1000.00 cash rebate

This is the base KR with the following options: limited slip, tow package and the adjustable pedals.

Is this a good deal? Just wanted to get some input on how much I can expect to pay and how much I can bargain?

Thanks,
John

 

Looking at xplan pricing on a KR 4x2 @ $40,605 pricing with all discounts and rebates comes down to $32,788 here in Louisiana.

If you give me the zip code of the dealer in question, I can give you the xplan price on that exact truck.

 

Sapo,

Below is the dealer info.
Fred Beans Ford of West Chester
1155 West Chester Pike
West Chester, PA 19382

Thanks for your help.

Can I get on the xplan, or do I need to know someone who as access?

John

 

No problem. Here's your info.

MSRP: $41,700
XPLAN: $37,333

Gas$: $1,000
Cust$: $2,500 (in lieu of low rate financing)

Price w/XPlan and rebates: $33,833

Even without X-Plan you should be able to get pretty close to that price.

 

A year ago you could have got that truck for 32k.

That's what I would offer, and go from there.

Anything between 32,000 and 33,833 would be a fair deal, imho.

Be prepared to walk away if they don't budge. They will call you at home, within a day or two.

I paid 28k for mine, but it's 2wd. The one you're looking at must be 4wd.

 

I just bought a KR on thursday and am A-plan. I was told by the dealer and double checked with a call to ford and the cash rebates CANNOT be combined. This means you can get either:

$2500 cash back
OR
$1000 cash back plus 0% financing (what I chose, you save more money in the long run)
OR
$1100 gas card (its $1100 for certain models like the F150 instead of $1000) plus 0% financing

If you get both the $2500 and $1000 plus 0% financing, let me know...I will go ape at the dealership.

I paid 34700 before tax after the rebates for my almost completely loaded 4x4KR....thats A plan price.

 

You cannot combine the $1100 gas card and the $1000 rebate, those are either/or. However, you can definitely combine one of those and the $2500 (amt in Louisiana) in lieu of cheap financing. So it would be:

(
$1100 gas card
OR
$1000 cash
)
AND
(
$2500 cash
OR
0.0%/1.9%
)

If you have A-Plan, you should have access to myplan.ford.com. Go there and check it out for yourself.

 

Its my father-in-law who works for ford, and this isn't the sort of thing i could ask without getting a lecture at this point.

When I went to the dealership, I specifically asked if I could combine the $1000 with the $2500 and they said no. I had looked it up on edmunds.com beforehand. They said if you took the $1000, you had to take the financing, and since you took the financing, you couldn't take the $2500. I believe they were wrong.

I took the 0% over 60 months + $1000

It probably works out to a wash to slightly in my favor (6% here for a loan outside of Ford, which on a 35K vehicle I figured would be about 4500 in interest over 6 years), but I hate every time I go to a dealership, it seems like I'm the one telling them about their rebates. AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

I'll have my father in law look stuff up next time, didn't know he could.

 

i also did not know you could finance it over 6 years (they told me only 3). did not calculate it really close because I thought I was looking at only $1500, not $2500 difference and I knew it would be much better than $1500.

The interest I would be charged at a 6% rate on 35K:

72 months: $6743
36 months: $3334

So, taking the financing is actually a better deal in most cases.
