Had a 2012 F150 FX2 Screw and traded it in today for a 2015 F150 Platinum. MSRP was $63,400 and got them down to $51,500. They also gave me $26,000 for my truck on trade in and ended up out the door for $27,500. Think this was a good deal?

I've come to find out that this is the best way of looking at a car purchase. It does seem like the OP got an excellent deal though.
Unless we have two buyers on the same day, with identical credit and identical trade-ins and/or down payments, who also buy identical trucks and have them delivered on the same exact date, it's not really possible to compare one deal to another.
Variables like time of month, weather, specific dealership business practices, time on the lot, quotas, dealership sales, etc etc, effect prices too much.
