I'd never pay more than Invoice price minus all availible rebates. So, take a $28k MSRP truck, knock off $4k for invoice and then rebates and you can quickly get to 8k off MRSP. If you wait a few months, there will be even more discounts, especially if gas prices rise.

 

I'm getting around 7100 less from the msrp, I thinking of canceling the truck and wait until summer to see if I can get a better deal. If gas price are going up and ford is not doing well I think I can get a better deal plus I might get the new style of towing mirrors.
Maybe they come up with something new at mid year

 

Thanks guys. I live in Ford Country and there hasn't been a new 2006 F-150 for sale on the lots since Nov/Dec. Of course, I see no logic in buying a "new" truck that already has a year's worth of depreciation on it. If that's how you get $13,000 off of MSRP, that's not much of a deal as the truck already depreciated more than that.

 

not sure about this logic... How much to you think your 07 will depreciate as soon as you drive it off the lot? I got something like $12,000 to $13,000 off my truck versus buying an 07 model. I guess if your only buying a vehicle for the resale value you can follow that... I just wanted the best deal on pretty much the same truck just an 06 model versus an 07 model... I'll keep it for at least 5 or 6 years minimum.

I sold my 2002 F-150 reg cab xlt with 4.6L for $7,500 and it had 98,000 miles on it in Jan 07. Thought that was pretty good value from a 5 year old reg cab pickup. I wouldn't worry so much about depreciation unless you jump into something new ever couple of years, even then I really don't think your loosing out getting last years model as such a substantial savings...
