I see that. You did pretty well on it by the looks of it. Funny how some places will deal and some just blow smoke lol. Had some guy close to where i live buy in ST Paul about 2 weeks ago and only got 12k off lol. He just paid what they asked... on a comparable truck being a loaded Eco fx4. Some people lol.

Team Ford's used vehicle side was without a doubt the sleaziest place I have ever set foot in. -The coming from an Ex dealership mechanic-
Every typical used car salesman stereotype you can imagine rolled into one. I walked out with sales guys chasing me to come back in the end. Terrible.
Vegerville Ford was really decent. Bought over the phone. They drove the truck into the city just so I could test drive it and the drove it in again when I bought it.

Avoid Kentwood Ford in Edmonton at all costs. In fact, avoid Go Auto dealerships in general. After my truck had issues, they offered to basically take it back and give me a different one. After driving 5 hours (one way) into Edmonton from GP, then proceeded to try to get me to trade in my truck for $11,000 less than I paid (I'd owned the truck for a month and change and only put 2000kms on it) and then sell me a brand new FX4, for a total all in costs of $84K (negative equity, tax, interest included).
During all this, they tried every sleazy trick in the book. That included cornering my girlfriend when I went to the washroom and trying to coerce her to convince me to buy the truck. Thank God she's a keeper and told them to stuff it.
Their finance manger himself came and tried to slime me into a sale as well. In doing so, he insulted both me and my GF and was so condescending and prickish that that alone killed any future dealings with them.
They also buggered off with my keys, which I never should have given them in the first place, to do the trade in appraisal. They then beat around the bush, trying to keep us there when we were ready to leave. I will never let another dealer touch my keys. Ever.
They also never gave me a spare key when I bought the truck (I found out later that it's required to have a remote starter installed) and figured it was reasonable I make that 5 hour drive down on a week day to have them cut me one. It would cost more in fuel and lost wages to do that. They refused to work with me when the dealer here in GP offered to make the key for me if Kentwood would contact them and arrange to square up the cost.
They had installed fender flares on the truck, which I requested to be taken off along with the over sized tires and rims since I hated the look. They took the tires and rims off, knocked $5000 off too but wouldn't do the flares. I found out why when I got home and took them off myself. They were hiding scratches and nicks in the paint.
And then there's the mistake on my part. I overpaid for the truck, having not been too familiar with Ford pricing and only researched a little bit. My fault, I know. However, since finding that out and now helping the GF search for a car, I've found Go Auto to be over priced all across the board.
I honestly deeply regret trading in my 2011 GMC Sierra, easily the best truck I've ever owned. Now I'm stuck with a truck, which while I like the F150 in general, isn't nearly as nice as the more well equipped Sierra I had. The FX4 would have been a better choice, and irritatingly had I waited another month, I could have scored one for less than I paid for my XLT.
So yeah. ****ty dealer, mistakes on my part and huge buyer remorse. However, the remorse wouldn't be nearly so bad if Kentwood wasn't so sleazy,
As it is, Kentwood lost the sale of my GF's car and my brother's truck. Go Auto has lost those two sales, plus the sale of my next truck. Never mind everyone I tell who decided to buy elsewhere.
