Ford Family Price less $1500 rebate. I did not get the $1000 clearance cash as I did not use Ford Motor Credit. Maybe I'm just naive, but I just used the "employee" price as a "no haggle" price like they use at Saturn. Mine stickered for about $33k and I paid almost $25k--plus taxes and fees. You need to buy it, it's a great truck. I know other trucks are priced lower; but, they are not built as well. Ford gives you the thickest frame, heavier attachment of the bed, 4 wheel antilock vented disc brakes, a heavier suspension, and so on. After seeing the difference on the F-150 page on fordvehicles.com, I don't see why anyone would buy anything else. Good luck. |

I had to turn this deal down. Does it sound good, it was $10k below retail (my banks loan value) at $17,800. 64k miles is the only downside of this nice truck, all in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, gray w/ black/gray cloth int, 18" wheels, center console/bucket seats, bed extender, many more options + carfax checks out good. Trade in on edmunds was $17,200 and dealer retail was around $24k I think. I'm sick about not being able to get it, but I'll find another one in a few months.

I just picked this up Wednesday. An 05 F150 XLT 4X4 with a few options. I knew someone at the dealership who helped me negotiate. I think I did O.K. Here's the sticker: Price Information MSRP STANDARD VEHICLE PRICE $30,785 Optional Equipment 2005 MODEL YEAR BLACK CLEARCOAT TAN PREM CLOTH CPTNS CHRS PREFERRED EQUIPMENT PKG.507A .XLT SERIES 5.4L EFI V8 ENGINE 895 ELECTRONIC 4-SPD AUTO O/D 3.55 RATIO LIMITED SLIP AXLE 300 7200# GVWR PACKAGE JOB #2 ORDER TOW & GO STD 4 FRONT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET BLACK PLATFORM RUNNING BRDS 250 ELECTRONIC SHIFT-ON-FLY 160 CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS SYSTEM POWER MOONROOF 995 TRAILER TOW PACKAGE 350 PREM CLOTH CAPTAINS CHAIRS 300 PWR DRIVER SEAT 285 __________ TOTAL VEHICLE & OPTIONS 34,320 DESTINATION & DELIVERY 795 __________ TOW & GO DISCOUNT STD 4 -1,245 TOTAL SAVINGS ($1,245) TOTAL MSRP $33,870.00 EMPLOYEE PRICE $28,615.00 CASH BACK ($1,500.00) _________ FORD FAMILY PRICE $27,115.00 After that I took advantage of the $1,000 Financing credit.

I learned how wonderful the reverse sensing system is on my 2 week old F-150 over the weekend. Backing out of a parking space, looked first (of course), suddenly BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! Stopped and saw a Nissan Sentra that had started backing up from the other side. She must not have looked, becuase when she turned her head toward me, she had a real surprised look on her face. Had it not been for the system, I'm sure we would have hit. If anyone is wondering if the system is worth it or not--it is!!

Replying to: uga91 (Sep 26, 2005 2:12 pm) Got outta the truck to look and almost wet my pants! My then five-year-old son had wiped out on his scooter directly behind the truck and was now sitting on the driveway behind my bumper starting to cry because he had scraped his hands and knees. When I said "Goodbye" to him a few moments before, he had been on the sidewalk 50 ft. away. Yet there he was, on the ground behind my 6800 lb truck!! I couldn't have seen him from the cab even if I was in the back seat looking out the rear window. This was three years ago, and I still have the occaisional "what-if" nightmares about it. I am extremely grateful I bought that option.

Replying to: uga91 (Sep 27, 2005 3:15 am) I just bought a Titan and it had to have reverse sensors as well. I haven't had a close call quite like yours, but just knowing you have that extra protection is peace of mind. The "danger" of having this though, is that when you drive vehicles without it, you have to make a mental note of that to yourself. For example, when I drive my wife's Envoy, I have to continually remind myself that it doesn't have it (that is, when I'm backing up). You CAN get conditioned with this. |

Any ideas on how I can sell this truck? I owe $22K on it, and with the way prices have been falling on trucks I'm not sure how good I'm going to do.
