What type F150 did you end up getting? Sounds like you got a great deal. Wish I could've run into one like that.

My point is that it won't matter. So you get a coupon for $750 off. Why not set your sights higher? I got my 2011 EB Lariat for $1000 under invoice plus the $2000 in rebates; and I still feel like I paid too much. A coupon wouldn't have gotten me any additional $ off; they just wouldn't have came down so far from invoice pricing. Negotiate the price of the truck and you don't need a coupon to get a good price. The bottom line is the bottom line with or without a coupon. It's all relative.
I know I'm new to this forum and all, but if you don't understand what I've said, go find a friend that does and let him work with the dealer on price for you. A coupon isn't a rebate or incentive. It's trickery to get you into the dealership.

That doesn't make any sense. What you get the truck down to while negotiating with the dealer can only hit a certain point, and then the dealer loses money so losing your business is easier to handle. The coupons are redeemed with ford itself. So if you negotiate $5000 off, and then when you find that's as low as the dealer will go, and you add the $2000 you get from regular ford incentives, you are now $7000 better off than when you started. That's when you get out those coupons and add another 500, 750, 1000 and end up $8000 under. Since it's coming from Ford and not the dealer they can't do anything about it.

I got a $500 ecoboost test drive and $500 auto show coupon. Thats $1000 that I confirmed can be combined and will add to the final discount.

If you don't understand that dealer price and fords rebates are two different things I suggest finding someone to explain it to you.

I understand it completely. I'm getting my new ride at dealer invoice anyway. I know the difference between a coupon and an incentive. Bought quite a few new vehicles in my day. Just trying to find any more deals that can be added to final price. This site has been a great help. Perfect example was the $750 coupon you get from Ford by going to their website and requesting a brochure.

I see. I can't imagine that this coupon is paid out by Ford just like a rebate is. If it is, then I surely missed out on an additional discount.

It is not an advertised offer that I know of. If it was not for this forum, I would have never known about it.

Bingo.

It is a Ford corporate incentive, just like a rebate.

Just got an email with my $750 "private cash" certificate after requesting a brochure.

You can get another $500 direct from Ford by joining the American Quarter Horse Association. $40 membership cost, must be a member 60 days before requesting $500 certificate.

This appraisal is not allotment of the absolute appraisal belief for the applied analysis and you will not abort your analysis because you don’t authenticate eco-safe active techniques. The active examiner will appraise ascendancy and planning, and at the end of the analysis will accord you feedback, as guidance, on how calmly you are driving.
