If you want to save as much money as you possibly can, then it is 100% worth your time. It saved me money. It saved probably $2-3K when I bought my truck.

There's no such thing. However, there is what's known as a '$7,000 Alternative Customer Cash' Incentive on the leftover 2018's. I'm not really sure on this, but you may still be able to also opt-in on the $750 Ford Credit which may be a separate Program # from the '$7,000 'Alternative' one.

You should tell them that you are steering more toward the 'No Chance in Hell' Incentive which prevents you from buying a way leftover 2018 with such poor 6% True Dealiar Discount Percentages that they're showing in their web listings. If they will negotiate the Dealiar Discount substantially then it could be a real good buy/savings IF you're planning to keep the truck for a very long time. We don't have much info on NM Dealiars from the one or two Buyers who mentioned being from there in Posts long ago. I don't think any of them ever returned any numbers so that State may not be promising for real good Dealiar Discounts.

I suggest you read the threads like I advised you when I sent the PNA. Once you're straight on how to negotiate, put in a web inquiry to get a real quote and see if they'll keep quoting a better Dealiar Discount after the first one which is likely to reflect the web listing or something equally as poor.

Called marketing, no current PCO for me unfortunately. I did have 3k not long ago, I did mention that and she noted it in my account.

That said, was told I’m eligible for $3500 customer cash plus local incentives.

Time to go dive into this thread over the holiday weekend.

Don't rush it! Many times when we get the bug to buy you wind up pulling the trigger too quickly and you don't save as much as you could have. Find a spot where nobody can find you and read carefully without distractions. You'll comprehend everything much better that way. I often see those who claim they've read but walked away short of knowledge. I know they did it in bits and pieces while being distracted. It's like they didn't read at all. Then they post some Dealiar web listing numbers here and ask if it's a good deal.

Not rushing at all, and I know enough to never look at the web price OR sign up for the e-price.

Im headed upstate this weekend so I’ll be reading (I’m also off Thurs-Tuesday)

You can make your initial inquiry using any of those ePrice buttons. That way you're ported directly through the Internet Sales Gnomes instead of a showroom floor Sales Gnomes that'll be entitled to a commission by contract.

I'm still working through the doc fees. But this is what I have on the table so far.. at a 12.29% discount this looked decent already compared to some other posts. I also have a $4k private offer and college offer, so together they are $4750. Special thanks to toptobottom for sending me the spreadsheet!! How's this deal look?

jpena53

You Texas boys always get great deals on trucks. Do you have this deal on paper? It is unlikely that they will remove the doc fee but you can certainly try to negotiate it out of the sales price.

Regarding the college offer, be aware it might not stack with the PCO.
"May not be used with other Ford private offers."

mikesmithtx644

Yeah. Might not be able to stack that college offer in with the deal but ford marketing told me I could handle that post sale. If they accept it they would just send me $750 check. As long as the $4k PCO works and the 0% interest then I’m close to pulling the trigger. I’m leery that I’m missing something.

Appreciate the thoughts. Seems like I’m at least at a reasonable deal so far.

I just sent you the PNA and you had responded that you were "working on it". When did you get a $4K PCO? When did you 'start' working on it?

I have no idea where your numbers are from so I can't make comment about whether the deal is good or not. jpena53 asked whether you have a written quote so that's the important information missing here. Did you get some kind of hard quote? If so, how many did you get to this one you presented? Did you get anything better than what was shown at the Dealiars web listing?

I can tell you haven't read the thread real good because there's been numerous posts starting way back about not being able to combine PCO's with other Special/Additional Offers so you can scratch College Grad from your deal as jpena53 has already noted. Reading the thread thoroughly is crucial to help prevent mistakes like these.

So I can verify your Standard rebates - Where did the $5,750 come from? What is the date at the top of the Window Sticker above the word 'BLEND' ?

Please keep in mind this is an active thread for lurkers to learn from (uhh, well not all of them) so please answer my questions above in blue - Thanks!
