Typically, when we talk MSRP in this thread we are talking about the sticker price, or the 'blue box' number that shows the real retail price, not the inflated price before Ford's 'package discounts' claim. MSRP should also not include ridiculously inflated dealer add-ons. Not sure if those are the numbers you are using.

I don't think we will be seeing anything posted that truly reflects that steep of a discount off true MSRP (blue box number) even given the $1K November military rebate.

I'd love to be proven wrong though, it would be by far the biggest dealer discount on an XL truck, with or without the STX package (on this thread at least). If bigger discounts are possible that what we previously thought, that is good news for everybody. Looking forward to seeing the proof.

Thanks for your military service!

I had $500 over Invoice but I told them to round it off on a 18 Lariat Super Crew

Okay, so a true MSRP of 36,645 then. Your timing on rebates was great considering you got a substantial $6550 there.

While the deal isn't as good as you outlined above, from what I can tell so far this is still a really good dealer discount (about 10% I think) on an XL/STX, assuming it was not a demo or loaner with thousands of miles.

Great job using email to work a deal in advance, and for being willing to travel some to get it. That saved you big money. Enjoy!

There were 19 miles on it when I purchased it.

Just above reminder of my Post # 5124 made back in November. I finally placed the order with Belzer and the truck arrived at the dealer on Jan 12th . I took the first flight with my wife the next morning and I arrived at Belzers at noon of Jan 13th to pick up the truck. I had initially considered to have it shipped down to Miami but I didn't want to leave it waiting under the snow...(it was zero degrees in Mn ). On Mon Jan15th the truck was happy in Miami at 70 degrees..
I have to say that everything was as promised by Belzer initially so it was a painless and straightforward purchase.

Here are the numbers of my special ordered Lariat:

Total MSRP: $ 64,780
Final Price: $ 57,570 (price included two $750 discount coupons provided by Belzers at time of signing the purchase, I didn't have any cash offer)
Taxes: $3560
Dealer Fee: $100
New Plate: $342.75
Title & transfer Fees: $155.25
OTD Price: $60,739.7

This kind of added information is exactly why posts like your first one are so meaningless to a thread like this where accuracy is so important for others to be able to rely on. When information regarding additional discounts are added afterwords in following posts, it really skews what other Novice Buyers perceived initially.

I see after posting your docs, you still got a hell of a deal at 10.26%. Like Silvius pretty much said, Buyers of XL's typically won't be seeing percentages close to anything like what you got.

I've made mention before and this sale appears to be a good example of it, You were in the right place at the right time because the dealer didn't care how much they lost on the sale - they just needed your truck has a number for a Ford Promotion.

Good luck with your truck and enjoy many miles with it!

Im including pictures of my window sticker and sales sheet for better reference. Just two caveats:

1) I asked to include side box steps to my purchase so the sales sheet includes in the truck price ( before taxes and fees) $325 dollars for those steps. Thats why total price went from $ 57,570 as initially promised in nov to $57,895 showed on the sales sheet. BTW, they retails for $370 each but Belzers respected the factory ordering price for them at $ 325 for BOTH.
2) Sales sheet includes an extended 10 years/150K miles at $ 2,784 that I let the finance guy at Belzers talked me into because I was concerned about the so many bells and whistles that this truck has and I'm planning to keep it for at least 8 years as my last truck.

I hope this helps....

Looking for opinions/knowledge. I have a dealer I am working with that is telling me that they have $250 coupons/incentives from Ford that they will apply to my transaction on top of the factory incentives. I know that I qualify for $1,500 incentives on a 2018 Platinum. The dealer is telling me that he can get me another $1,000 using 4 of these "coupons". He said 4 is the max they can use. Has anyone heard of this before?


The cash price before incentives/coupons is still high in my opinion by $1,500. But by using these "coupons" we getting close.Would you still negotiate on the cash price amount before incentives?
