3% above invoice plus TT&L is a great deal and what I always shoot for.
That brought my almost ~68k 15 Platinum down to ~56k plus TT&L.
Some will do better, some will do worse but that's a solid deal.

Just have the salesman pull the invoice for the truck you're looking at.

not a lot of them will do that for any joe off the street. i personally have a policy that if the salesman wont show me the invoice, i dont buy from them. I guess i'm a little different tho as i always deal with the fleet manager-never the flunkie off the showroom floor... LOL

I'm the same way. Houston is flush with dealerships. If one guy won't pull an invoice the next guy will. I really don't care where I buy a truck...I just want a fair deal.

Ok this is a good place to ask this, and I apologize for hijacking but since the OP is looking out of state.

Salesman just told me that I can't get a TX price for a truck because I am a NJ resident and I only qualify for the programs around here. So example: truck in NJ optioned the way i want is $64k, on the lot for $60k. Same truck in TX is $54k. Is this true? I always thought I could buy out of state then pay taxes when I registered it in NJ.

Thanks for the help.

Did a salesman in TX tell you that or one in NJ?

If you look in the link I posted earlier, the rebates only equal to $4,000. "Dealer discount" is where the extra $8,xxx is.

I will say, Randall(can't remember his name on here anymore) bought an explorer from this same dealer earlier this year. He shopped the price around to our more local dealers and no one could/would touch it.

NJ salesman telling me that, now salesman from MD asking me for my address for area pricing. Believe you are referring to TXGlassman.

And you are correct. Dealer discount was another $8k. Dealers up here can't touch that.

I'm assuming my NJ salesman is correct in telling me that he can't match $12k off sticker with rebates, but volume dealers can.

The total price off sticker does somewhat depend on your zip code because of the rebates they apply iirc.

I just look them all up on ford.com and then double check that they are or aren't on the paperwork

Rebates are specific to your home address zip code. No flexibility on that side and the Ford dealer has no way around it. So whether you bought a truck in TX or OK or GA, you still will only get the rebates from your local zip code.

I think the dealer discount is whatever they're willing or even able to do.

The holiday place seems to be more interested in moving inventory rather than haggling all day long. Randall emailed back and forth and I think he was there a total of 20 minutes. I think they get money for how many they sell and that's what they're probably working for there. I even have a friend that was a salesman for another ford dealer here that refused to believe those prices were real when I've shown him before. He swore when you showed up it was discounts for military or college students or whatever else.

Thanks for clarifying. But "dealer rebates" should be a different story right?

The dealer may offer some other discount that they are willing to offer on that truck sure. That comes right from their dealer and their dealer alone. But as far as actual Ford corporate rebates, that is the ones that are only based on your zip. Those are the rebates that read like "$2500 cash back, $1500 customer bonus cash, $500 bonus trade allowance bonus, etc". Those are the Ford corporate rebates. Not a "dealer rebates" or anything additional that a dealer may try to do to earn your business. If you start punching in zip codes from different states on Fords site to look at rebates, you'll see they really dont vary them all them much from any of the states. So you're not missing out on much typically there. But dealers that move a lot of trucks may be able to offer more dealer specific discounts than a small dealer for example.

Simple. Get an out of state resident permit and take the rebates.
I don't my vehicles in state because they sound like the ones in NJ, lying thieves.

I just ask for invoice less rebates. If a dealer isn't happy just getting the 3% holdback on a $70K+ truck find another dealer. If you really want to grind them ask them to dip into their holdback $.

We all see these prices listed that seem too god to be true. Then you call or go there and they ask "are you a recent grad"? No, oh well theres $500 you don't qualify for. "Are you police or Fire" No, oh theres another $500 you don't qualify for. Oh, you don't have top tier credit, sorry you don't qualify for ford credit. It goes on and on.

Being in business myself I understand what it takes to operate a business. I have no problem letting the dealer make a little money. A LITTLE, lol....... They also have incentives from Ford that may make certain dealers deeply discount their trucks. In fat, they might even lose money on some of them just to get certain sales levels that help their bottom line. Its all a big rats race.
