I wanted the plush Ford Platinim but ended with Toyota's Tundra Luchese and four wheel drive. BTW, it comes with 18" steel wheels.
Enjoy your tundra. While you worry about things like tire size, nitrogen and gas caps you settled for a 'truck' that isn't even a fully boxed frame. The tundra has a good motor, but when you look at true truck comparisons - pickuptrucks.com, popular mechanics, etc - the tundra typically finishes 5th while the f150 always finishes 1st. My Platinum is the sixth truck I've owned and having just passed 9,000 miles, I can also tell you its the best. But I have different criteria.
One thing about the Japanese vehicles - they only offer a few versions. With the F-150 there are something like 100,000 possible configurations - so it can be confusing. It sounds like that was ultimately a key to your decision.
Thanks for any info you could give me

( I'am use to F250'S) .
41,490 msrp. less 750.00 Sync & Captains chair credit, Sell price was 37,145. less the 2500 from Ford. + TTR .
They gave me 15,000. for my 2005 F250 ,it was in good condition, the interior was a little rough , but those cloth seats are hard to keep clean.
This dealer is a credit union who keeps the nice vehicles that get returned from a lease. In some cases the vehicles have been leased twice...
My question is, what should I offer them for it? Here is my rationale.
1. the truck has likely been paid for once by the guy who was "fleased" by the lease
2. These vehicles will eventually be sold at auction if the credit union does not sell them
3. These trucks have been depreciated... this one by 5 years...
So, what should I offer? What would a truck like this fetch at an auction in Michigan? Do I have any leverage with the bank if I ask them to look at the books and see just what they need to get for it to pay off the residual value?
I am looking for some help. I need a truck, dont want to buy new, but want some negotiating power wiht the bank who owns it..
Please reply especially those with this kind of experieince either negotitating to buy or on the banking side of the sales business..
THANKS

I think I good deal, but trying to make my buyers remorse feel better. I get the truck on Thursday. I know I will feel better then : )
"If you live for having it all, what you have is never enough; “enough” is like the horizon − always receding. "
if you can afford the truck great, but if you can't you'll soon find that keeping up with neighbors and friends will make you broke like they are. Good luck. it's a helluva commitment if you didnt put a lot down...
You drive the car, the $40,000 car around the corner, and park it and instantly the thrill goes away. You find it’s a waste of money. And no matter how big your house is, you can only sit your [non-permissible content removed] in one seat at a time."
just trying to help you back out of the deal before you make a mistake, that's all.
I have very good well thought out reasons for everything that came on the truck. I am getting $6K for a 2002 dodge ram that is falling apart. It is not a matter of affording it either, but I don't have nice vehicles just because I carelessly throw my money around.
Just got 3.69% financing so it just keeps getting better.
Thanks for the look outs.
The Honda Odyssey board (my wife's car) is very very active, I wish the F150 board was like this. They have 8-10 posts a day with people buying cars. I would say that I've found the TMV on this site to be off at least a few thousand bucks, but I think the invoice pricing is a pretty accurate figure. Congrats and good luck with your truck!

do you know what was the anount below invoice (excluding ford rebates and incentives) that you got the car for ?
Steve
A local dealer has a 2010 Lariat listed, 4x4 with 5,000 miles, navi, leather, captains chairs, $36,900 with $9,300 in 'rebates'.
I'd be interested in costs for a truly new vehicle. Thanks.
The dealer showed me "his" invoice which was $ 33,719 and I qualify for $4000 in rebates for a total of $29,700.
Im either buying a F150 or a Tundra and dont know what to do.
What are others paying for F150's?
This is the exact vehicle http://apps.dealerconnection.com/dealers/kellyfordsales/windowsticker?vin=1FTFW1- CV0AFA70053&modelId=173&dealerPACode=04808
I am in the same boat another Tundra or a Ford F150 XLT. Did you ever have any luck getting yours?
Thanks.
It has the drivers package and the XLT convenience package, MSRP 34960. Dealer is quoting $26360 including $4500 in rebates. Just curious how I'm doing!
Sticker MSRP: $34250
Paid $22950+ ttl
Out the door: $24,7**
Pretty basic truck, but the dealer did add tint to the windows for me.
Rebates $5500
(including $1000 from Ford finance)
TMV put the invoice around $31,000
I got a total of $11,300 of the MSRP on a 2010 F-150 XLT 2WD Supercrew at Champion Ford in Katy, Texas.
So how did I do? I guess I'm happy.
Ingot silver, XLT Chrome package, XLT Convenience package, tow package, drivers group, sirius, sync.
Bench seat 60/40
They added window tint to the deal ($125)
The way I figured it I'm about $1600 below invoice. $5500 in rebates, $1000 Ford Finance, $4800 dealer discount.
There was an ad in the local dealer for $10,000 off MSRP (blue line price) or $11,000 (w/Ford finance) on any XLT on the lot. I went down there, but they didn't have the truck I was looking for. Then I went to another dealer and told them I'd sign if they could beat it. They did by $300. I think I did pretty good, of course I didn't really hassle them over the document fees etc.
Thanks for the reply!
The 'dealer plan' discount was $3850.34, and I'm wondering if that is just a percentage off the MSRP or if anything is negotiable on that. It would seem to me that it really isn't much of a discount as the Edmunds pricing shows 26130 with the $5500 in rebates and Truecar has $25932 with same applied. So where's the discount?
Seems I could do better by holding out til later when the 2011's roll out, though rebates might not be the same. Still, I thought family pricing plans were supposed to be pretty good, but by the looks of it, I guess not!

I originally paid $27k for this, but found out that it had 5k miles on it halfway home. Apparently it was a demo model that was unmarked. Nobody told me about it. So they offered to swap me for a different comparably equipped one or a free extended warranty plus some cash back. I took the cash back and warranty since there wasn't a mark/scratch/scuff/ding/etc... anywhere. I ended up paying $25k and getting the free extended warranty. I don't feel quite as good about the deal as I originally did, but I still think I did OK (but not outstandingly great).
XLT Conv Pkg
Sync
Tow Pkg
Drivers Group
MSRP of $31,235
Edmunds Invoice $28,449 (the invoice the dealer showed me was more like 29,000)
$5,000 rebate
Sale Price $23,500
WIth only $75 doc fee! They came down from $399 doc fee as I qualified for X Plan, they said the truck price was better then X plan but they would discount the doc fee.
Also did some big time negotiations on the interest rate, they started at 5.49 and we ended up at 3.6% for 72 months.
I pick up the truck Friday, overall I am happy with the deal.
Sounds like you got a pretty good deal. You are going to love the truck. It's SWEET!
I'm actually able to travel most anywhere to get a really good deal, but I'm just curious how much off the MSRP they are going right now? The MSRP range that seems to have all the options I'd want is around the $45-47k range. I'm just wondering how much lower they will/can go right now.
Any experiences?
Thanks in advance.
