I think you can also get a F450 with a crew cab and pickup body if you really want to take up some parking spaces at the mall.
Commute in a Porsche Boxter? That sounds painful, almost as bad as the F350.
You also did not say if this was a F150 or F250, but than at $43,000 for a King Ranch looks to me like it was a F150.
No way is anyone going to buy a $43,000 truck for $27,000. I KNOW!!! I’m just not allowed to post here how I know. Especially if he paid cash, because that alone cost him the $1,000 FMCC bonus.
That is the danger of these boards. Many times relevant information is not provided, and people seeking valuable information are misguided.
Dsb2695, do you belong to a secret society? You know where they have decoder rings and so forth? This is nutty. I have no idea what these things sell for and frankly could care less. (Afterall, the idea of a Diesel Dually sounds like a high school wet dream). But, clearly the model year is now over with and that 2005 whatever is now a year old. It doesn't take a CPA to figure out that a hungry dealer with a wierd set of options (Did I just say a Diesel Dually?) on his hands in a $60 a barrel for oil economy would want to blow the damn thing out.
Thank you in advance for your opinion.
Jeff.

Less $1000 in Ford College Student and Home Depot rebates put me out the door at $25,263.30 before taxes and trade.
Finance manager tried to sell me on 7.5% interest rate over 60 months. I advised him I wouldn't do that, they came down to 5.9%.
Buying experience at Extreme Ford in Overland Park was okay. They didn't mess around but some things could have gone smoother. They seemed to be trying to do a good job.
You need to buy it, it's a great truck. I know other trucks are priced lower; but, they are not built as well. Ford gives you the thickest frame, heavier attachment of the bed, 4 wheel antilock vented disc brakes, a heavier suspension, and so on. After seeing the difference on the F-150 page on fordvehicles.com, I don't see why anyone would buy anything else. Good luck.
I'm sick about not being able to get it, but I'll find another one in a few months.

Got outta the truck to look and almost wet my pants! My then five-year-old son had wiped out on his scooter directly behind the truck and was now sitting on the driveway behind my bumper starting to cry because he had scraped his hands and knees. When I said "Goodbye" to him a few moments before, he had been on the sidewalk 50 ft. away. Yet there he was, on the ground behind my 6800 lb truck!! I couldn't have seen him from the cab even if I was in the back seat looking out the rear window.
This was three years ago, and I still have the occaisional "what-if" nightmares about it. I am extremely grateful I bought that option.
I just bought a Titan and it had to have reverse sensors as well. I haven't had a close call quite like yours, but just knowing you have that extra protection is peace of mind.
The "danger" of having this though, is that when you drive vehicles without it, you have to make a mental note of that to yourself. For example, when I drive my wife's Envoy, I have to continually remind myself that it doesn't have it (that is, when I'm backing up). You CAN get conditioned with this.

Anyway, I digress. I would say that if you can, sell it yourself. Get it cleaned up and run a nice add in the paper. Don't cheap out on the add. Include a picture if you can. I wouldn't bother with Ebay or Autotrader. I tried in those places and while I got one or two lame responses, it simply wasn't worth the expense. I did, however, to my surprise, get inundated with calls from other companies wanting to broker or consignee the car, meaning that for a fee, they would sell it for me. No thanks. That might be a nice service, but as far as I could tell, it made distance between buyer and seller a factor, and when you're having a hard time selling a truck in today's market, you don't need that.
What worked great for me was to park it in front of my friend's parts store. Lots of traffic in the store and out front on the main road. Eventually a contractor happened by, liked what he saw, and called me. You see, I had targeted contractors as the likely buyer of my truck, not some average joe who just wants a truck to have a truck. (Know your customer!) We eventually struck a deal. Did I get the best price. Not really. Was I happy anyway? Yes.
Lastly, some obvious stuff. Don't overprice the truck. Forget KBB or Edmunds. Like it or not, real or imagined, I think gas prices have had a detrimental effect on the price of trucks. Patience is the other factor, and maybe the most important one now. If you wait long enough you'll get your price, or something you can live with.
One other thing. I did take my truck to Ford dealers, and also Carmax for the heck of it. Their offers were virtually identical, but the important thing here is that they were several hundred dollars more than the dealerships were I was seeking to buy a new truck (nissan). That surprised me, but just a little.
Good luck.
Stickered at 30,015
I cant purchase at advertised price of $21,778 but this red carpet option may be the ticket at a purchase price of 22,575. Still working on the deal and about to get more offers seeing my confidence in leasing is growing! TY edmunds!
The 4.6L isn't flexfuel capable but it is smaller and 1500 customer cash. My rebates right now are at 6235.
I'm open to Options Suggestions... so far i'm thinking tow package and bedliner since I can't modify the vehicle myself. Looking forward to comments and other buying experiences.
THeir pricing indicated that the truck could be purchased for 19,990 so there may have been a slight difference in optoins.
I'me very tempted to do this.
By the way, the deal I saw wasn't a lease, it was a balloon payment. If you are thinking of purchasing the truck at the end of the term, you definately want the balloon payment instead of the lease. If you go with the lease, you'll have to pay taxes again when you buy it at the end becasue the title is going to change hands from FMCC to you.
When I read the ad I figured it was some sort of a scam, but it sounds like it's legit.
I googled Tx/Ok and got an ad from Southway Ford Near San Antonio. It was (0 down, $179, 10.5k for 2yrs). I Called and asked for the internet department and asked about the 1000 match. Carman (our local well of knowledge)stated in the Explorer Lease discussion that you could use part of that model's "lease cash" as a downpayment and get it matched. Well they said I couldn't with the f-150 and It wasn't a lease but a red carpet option. It kinda broke down from there but that's another story.
I think i'll stay closer to home for my deal.
Looking on the Ford Finance site I read more on their "lease" option. There seem to be three and i'm still a little confused with their explanations. But my worksheet has a balloon so I'm good and will make sure. Ty for the alert!
My MSRP needs to come down because the TXOK discount is on the Sticker so my residual may come down, But if I want to exercise my option to buy is this neccesarily the right thing to do.... should I just try to get the $935 rebate savings instead (can i Carman?) and then negotiate my lease end purchase price lower than my Residual? hmmm
That brings me to rebates... I need to know more. With the balloon are all the ones listed good for balloon "purchase/lease/option". NOTE: the perfect match doesn't show up anywhere on the incentives page. It should be there somewhere along with the .5 apr finance for lease/purchase option. Ford wants to move these gas guzzlers! They have me at 4000 rebates right now just like the Ford Site. Is this a combo of the $2500 (assigned to dealer?)and the $1500 for the 4.6l (can i cash that out to me? and put 1000 down...) or something else all together. They said if I Qualify the student/grad $500 would apply (i'm finishing UT via distant learning).
I need to learn more about rebates and what fees i can expect with the balloon ... they got a 50 doc fee on me i'll try to nix.
Oh.. Riata is part of Lief Johnson. My truck will probably be pulled from their stock . Their inventory is online @ buyford.com
Hope this ramble helps... lol. I'll post more after tomorrow's ads and my first dealer visit. I'm taking it slow but think the tx limo or the explorer will be in the driveway by month's end. I'm hoping for a couple options now lol. GL with your hunt!
This lease deal is better than the Impala one posted up front even if insurance and gas adds expense. But TY Edmunds. You are priceless
The dealer is looking for $13,988 and I'm offering $13,200 as we're paying cash. I received a message that they took this truck in as a trade for $13,500. After reading the values on this site (and KBB) this seems unheard of. I've never had a dealer give me more for a trade than KBB value. I've seen retail value for this truck (fully loaded) from $14,200 - $16,400. So they've under priced it? They offer a 60 day 3,000 mile warranty on it. I'm now waiting, waiting, waiting to hear back from the sales rep.
In the climate of rising gas costs (seems like a daily occurrence these days) is it not a good climate to negotiate the price of what is more a pleasure vehicle, versus a work vehicle??
Is it a fair price they're asking or should I wait for the next one?
Second, look up the blackbook value. Here's a link to copy/paste to your browese:
http://web1.intellipriceauto.com/EtradeinMatrix/Identify.aspx?lcdealer=4142001&s- panish=NO
That's ballpark of the wholesale value, which is probably what they paid for it from whoever it is they got it from.
Third, take what they have to say with a grain of salt.
Bottom line, I would seriously doubt he offered 13500 for it on a trade. I would offer the dealer 10500 and go up to 11, NO MORE. I don't know where you are or what your market is like but that's what I'd offer, and then walk if he does't take it. There are tons of f150s out there. Oh, be sure to have a mechanic check it out before you buy.
Anyone purchase recently and got a good deal?
Thanks.
PS We went with the Dark Grey Stone/Beige color.
Asking is $3000.
Problems: Heater wont work, cracked windshield
Do you think this is a good price? Are they any problems with this year? I am worried about the mileage, I have never bought something with that many on it before.
Any help would be great!!!
