Default First time buyer

Hey everyone thanks for the great information, I've read just about every post for the last 4 weeks dreaming about getting into a 15' F150. I announce rodeos for a living and need a little extra room to haul sound equipment. Don't need anything fancy but want to get your opinions on what I should expect for bottom dollar.

2015 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew Cab

53A Tow package

2.7L 4x4

MSRP $47,645
Discount $10,038
Best Price $37,607

The greatest thing about this dealership is they offer a lifetime Powertrain warranty on all new vehicles that can be serviced at any approved shop.

What should I expect as their lowest price?

It might assist in your receiving a credible reply if you gave folks some idea of your location...markets in North America differ significantly, e.g. number of competing dealerships, etc.

I apologize I currently live in Idaho but will be purchasing the vehicle in Iowa. It's the only ford dealership in town and have great ratings.

I think you've been offered a pretty damned good deal.

At some point, you need to allow for the dealer making some profit, so they'll still be in business when you need service. If they're the only ones around, and have great ratings, then take the deal, and be happy with it.

I only got ~$5K off my Lariat Screw (it was February, though. no incentives).

Idaho to Iowa, eh? What about service and problem times? Having a good local dealer is important to me.

As I stated earlier I travel for a living announcing rodeos so I really don't have a local mechanic anywhere that I always use, I'm never in one spot long enough haha. I'll be in Iowa for a rodeo in the town of my former university, I had service done at the dealership when I lived in Iowa but moved to Idaho in July. Thanks for the info!

Take a look at Woodhouse Ford in Blair, NE; I live in central IA and have bought several trucks from them they deal really well. I got $12,000 off my last 2 trucks I know new style and all you will not do as well.
