Similar deals at Lithia and Corwin too (boatloads of 13's at Lithia and Kendall) - I used to be a salesman at Kendall, let me know if I can help.

Thanks, trouble is I want to save some cash and buy uses but the used prices are within a grand or two of new. Plus my wife is missing the lariat I just sold and they are big money even used. I have till the end of March before I absolutely need a truck again (start if camping season). Does Kendall have much wiggle room in their prices?

Can't go wrong with any of the dealers in the Boise area from my experience. Don't know alot about Corwin after they bought out Dan Weibold.

I always did like Mountain Home Auto Ranch's "buy a truck, get a gun" promotion.

And if you have to finance, you will always get better rates then you will on used.
Plus full warranty
new tires,
new brakes
And all them other things that may be about to need replaced on a used one

I'd much rather spend a couple grand more and get a new truck. I was looking at used stuff for a while but could not believe what they were going for so I just went new...and I hate buying new!

Once you factor in the tires and how close you are to needing brakes, etc I bet you aren't far off from buying new (all though possibly not a new Lariat)

as far as 2013's
Kendall says they 9 lariats left
http://www.kendallfordofmeridian.com...2&MaxYear=2013

corwin says they have 57 left

http://corwinfordnampa.com/Boise/For...at&ModelId=102

Lithia has 121 total f-150s left over but their such function isn't as hand as kendall or corwins, you can't pick by trim. just price range

Just my own personal experience, I wouldn't send anyone to lithia. They didn't seem to want my business to start with, then they wanted to play games when it came to pricing and rebates. to start negotiations off on the right foot, the Salesman actually told me I couldn't have their $500 first time car buyer discount because "we don't give that rebate on $50k vehicles"

he ended up pulling his head out his backside when i walked out the door but I never seemed to get a straight answer from them the first time around whether it was rebates or trade in value. I was cash in hand ready to buy the truck that day and they kept trying to play little games or they would beat around the bush about what they were thinking as far as offers. Then when I bought the truck they had to bring it in and i had to hound them about when they would have the truck here because they couldn't bother to call me like they said they would. I just felt really disrespected by the staff there, even after I cut them a check for tens of thousands of dollars, they still wanted to dick around. I haven't been back to the dealer since. I bought some accessories for my truck but I went out to kendall. much better people

like others posted you can get 2013 XLT 4x4 with 302a luxury pkg. and buckets for around 31k. except for leather and floor shifter has about everything a Lariat has. unless you pay cash the financing will be a higher interest rate, will probably need tires pretty soon. of course you can use thatas excuse for tires and rims. 3 year 36months bumper to bumper could be out for time. i would check to see if it was lease vehicle, common practice to buy vehicles at an auction to show people they disliked this brand and changed. maybe a problematic truck and he was sick of his Ford so he traded it on Chevy. I would only buy a used vehicle if i knew the person or somebody does know about it.

some one correct me if i am wrong but the biggest difference in xlt 4x4 and lariat 4x4 is that the lariat is 2 speed auto. i chose the lariat for that reason alone. plus i wanted leather.

There are people here that will greatly disagree with me, but as someone who owned a 2011, Scab, 2wd, 5.0, with 3.55's. IMO I think a full Screw, 157'' F-150 is too heavy for a 5.0L, unless it has 3.73's.


I have a 2013, 157" and with that much weight, you need 420 lb/ft at throttle tip-in to get this thing rolling.


I honestly feel 5.0's are better suited for reg/ Scab's or 2wd, Screw's with 5.5 beds. If your going to get a long wheelbase 157" truck 6.2 or EcoBoost is a must.

I went to trade in my truck yesterday and South Bay Ford in so cal offered me an XLT ecoboost Super crew at $40620 MSRP for $28k before tax and license. Too bad I couldn't take advantage of the offer because I'm 4500 upside down on my truck.
