I am looking to buy a new F150 and wanting feedback or recommendations on what dealership/salesperson you recommend? I dont mind traveling across states to get a better deal. Thanks

What states are you willing to go to?

DammitBoy

I live in Texas and bought my last one in Washington state, so I'll go to any state for the right deal

Well, if you want to come all the way up to northern lower Michigan, I'd send you to Dean Arbour in Alpena. Can you get them on the "A" or "Z"plan?

A or Z? All I'm eligible for is X plan

Not totally sure, but wouldn't the only difference between one part of North America, and another be the transportation charges then? Both my brothers retired from Ford, and I believe it's the Z plan I get them for now, was the A plan when they were active employees.

I bought mine from a dealer in Tarpon Springs, Florida called Flammer Ford. It was my first time buying from them and it was by far the best deal and treatment I have ever experienced. And I have bought many vehicles over the years. Most of the time, I was dealing with the sales manager, not a salesman and he actually showed me the dealertracks which showed me all the details on the deal, inclusing his cost on the new truck and the trade worth. All in, the dealer actually took an $800 loss just to get my business. Of course he made it back when he sold my trade two days later for $2k more that he gave me, but he did give me $9k for it which was $2k more that book value and $3k over the wholesale auction value, which is what dealers actually use for trade values. Probably too far for you, but I cannot say enough good things about this dealer.

I'd have to get a MUCH BETTER deal than a/z/d/x plan to travel out of state to purchase a new ford.
Even the dealer here who charges ZERO doc fees, sticks on an extra $100 for using X plan "JUST BECAUSE HE CAN/THE PLAN ALLOWS".

Spike Dykes Ford in Lamesa, TX. I know thats a long ways from Waco, but it was the easiest/best dealership experience I've ever had. I did the whole deal over email and phone and didn't ever go in person until I went to pick up the truck. Talk about no-nonsense guys. Every single thing they told me matched up exactly with my research. I got X-Plan and all rebates, plus a great offer on my trade. They went to Oklahoma to get the exact truck I wanted.

This is nonsensical, unless you plan on buying outside of X-Plan. X-Plan is the same everywhere. Buying a vehicle out of state will still limit you to the rebates of the state in which the vehicle is going to be registered. So, the only advantage to going outside your local area would be if you're not going to use your X-Plan.

And to the comment re: transportation charges - No, they don't vary based on location.
