I just got a letter from my local dealership with this kind of deal:

1. Trade my 2003 R SCrew in and get 120% of the NADA trade-in value (about $27K based on the NADA site's calculator)
2. Employee discount on a new KR F250 SCrew (2005 or 2006)
3. All rebates applied to cost of vehicle.

Using NADA, I dressed out a 2006 KR which yielded a $42K MSRP and a $37K invoice. A quick look at what I have left to pay on my 2003 and it seems that my monthly payment will stay about the same.

This seems like a good deal to me, but it would help to know what the employee discount is related to Invoice price.

I'll also need to see if they will apply the 2005 rebates against a 2006.

Watcha think?

Dave...

 

Good luck on getting rebates on the 2006. There are none, I've tried.

 

You're probably right, but it won't hurt to ask.

Which brings up another question: Does anyone know what the differences are between the 2005 and 2006? Since I do not plan to trade the next one in, the relative resale value is not a factor...

 

That sounds like a good deal even on a 05. You’ll be moving into the new body style

 

I'll bet that your calculated NADA trade in value is not the same as what they are thinking.
