Anyone tried working numbers on a 2018 yet? They are showing up on lots here in small quantities. I had a line on one with an advertised approximately 9% discount I was going to go after but it has a 23 gallon fuel tank which is a deal breaker. It seems I can build one with all of the options I want slightly cheaper than I can find them on the lots so that is a consideration too. What kind of discounts do they give on orders? I've always thought buying off the lot was best but perhaps less overhead could yield good discounts too.

WOW - in FL you're getting 12%?!!!!! There's got to be a catch and the one thing you're missing is.... How much is their Doc Fee?

I also found a similar 17 Screw XLT 302A

MSRP: 44,550.00
Minus DC: 1,295.00
Net: 43,255.00
12% DD: 5190.60
Net: 38064.40
Rebates: 5250.00
Sales Price: 32814.40
Tax 7% (FL): 2297.01
Total: 35,111.41

Again, should I offer lower due to it being a 17 with 18s on the lot already?

$600

I am asking hypothetically here, as in what to shoot for according to what I have been reading in this thread. I want to be prepared before I hit the dealers today and tomorrow.

Different dealers.

Listen, it never hurts to try for lower. But, what is the Doc Fee on these trucks? Are they both from the same Dealer?

Same Doc Fee at both then?

I don't know what to suggest because nobody buying trucks in FL here has been able to do better than 9-10%. You're going into the Guiness Book of Records with these kind of offers. It may be a sign that Dealers are doing a major push for this upcoming Labor Day. Ford may have promised them an extra bone if they reach certain volumes. It could be a great sign that great Deals will happen this weekend for Buyers.

Factoring out the $600 Doc fee on the first one gives you a clean 10.7% discount. Try going another 1% or $450 more.

I've gotten dealers on orders very happy to do a invoice - holdback on ordering a new 18. Dealer ordered 18s they are less likely to part with (at bottom dollar) I'm finding because they actually want to get these on the lot to show off.

I had an ordered 18 Limited MSRP of 68k offered at 61.5 selling before rebates, tax, tag, etc

What is a good dealer discount % in CA on a 17 platinum? Also seeing several CA compliant platinums in AZ I could work on. Just need to known what t shoot for. Thanks!

CA is tough for discounts per a couple of members that exhausted alot of effort and basically came just short of 10%, but that could depend where you are. Shoot for the sky and if you hit a few tree branches then it'll give you an idea of what your area will go up to. The Doc Fee would having great bearing as to where to set your Target Percentage for Dealer discount.

I don't believe there's been AZ member input.
