#367 of 433 Re: New FORD Incentives [aalsherri] by jvos Oct 04, 2008 (2:59 pm)
Replying to: aalsherri (Oct 02, 2008 4:35 pm) Last week, when I was in ordering my 09 F-150 SuperCrew 4x4 Platinum, I was asking the dealer if he was able to continue to sell trucks. He had a very interesting answer. He pointed out that tradesmen - painters, construction workers, etc - continue to buy trucks just as they always have. According to him, that makes up 70-75% of the truck buying population. But, he said the suburban business man who just likes trucks is who is being affected by gas price and the economy.   So, I think Ford and others will ALWAYS sell trucks. They just aren't going to be able to sell at the volumes they have for the past several years.

Replying to: jvos (Oct 04, 2008 2:59 pm) If Ford cannot sell at the same volume it used to sell, then it must reduce production. This mean low profit and high prices. The companies that must purchase such trucks must pay a high price even for regular stripped cab. Ford on the other hand will lose because they won't be able to sell a King Ranch for example at same price they are selling when the production is high, oil is cheap, and the economy is booming. I see many auto companies going out of business if they don't change the way they do business now and I afraid it may be too late. This is not a recession, it is more than that. It is also global which make it more difficult to control in the near future. I believe Ford is doing very well but it is too late. A smart stategy should have been adopted a decade earlier. I had a feeling of something going wrong before at least 4 years. BTW, the auto market will suffer a big blow during the next few months.

Looks like those same incentives are still there.   I love the F-150 over the Ranger I had, except for the 3 mpg drop in gas mileage...

#370 of 433 08 Lariat by wallskm Oct 24, 2008 (4:44 pm)
Replying to: rcoketguy (Oct 10, 2008 4:38 am) Just purchased an '08 Lariat with Chrome package, Audiophile sound system, Captain's chairs. MSRP $36,500 and Price Paid $26,300. Did everything through the internet sales department. After this experience, I don't think I'll ever walk into a dealership again to negotiate.

#371 of 433 Base truck by craigmri Nov 03, 2008 (2:23 pm)
Thinking about buying a base XL regular bed(6'?) V6 5-speed air conditioning. MSRP will be something between $19,000 and $20,000. What are the lowest of low prices going on these?   Thanks in advance.   Craig

Got a pretty decent deal on a XL V6 Automatic, AC, with 8 ft. bed ... it worked out like this - $14, 500 (got the $6000 rebate!)

Replying to: jvos (Oct 04, 2008 2:59 pm) trades men will always need a truck. the question is 'are they buying trucks'   the short answer is 'No'.   People in the trades are feeling the slowdown as much as anyone out there. When you have a fleet of trucks sitting idle you start getting rid of them.   There are alot of used trucks for sale. Car salesmen are trained like dogs to always make it out like their cars are selling well and you better commit now because they won't last long. It's the oldest trick in the book and is even used in the worst of time - unbelievable really.
#375 of 433 Loyalty bonus for a Mazda? by ckone0814 Nov 13, 2008 (7:14 am)
I know it's a reach but... bought a boat and need a tow vehicle. After looking at used 4Runners and the like I see I can get into a truck for the same price and still get better mpg day-to-day. I'd have to trade an 07 Mazda car, does anyone know if that's eligible for loyalty???
#376 of 433 2008 XLT Super Crew 6.5 Ft Bed by justinhenry Nov 13, 2008 (9:18 am)
2008 XLT Super Crew with the long bed. Dealer said they had extra incentives to clear out the long beds (6.5) over the short beds (5.5). It was a base XLT with $100 rims (didn't have a choice on those). Sticker was $31,500. Paid $18,998. Dealer also discounted after-market leather. Total out-the-door was $21,500 for truck, leather, and tt&l. They have two more on the lot at that price (or maybe cheaper now). I purchased November 1st with offer carried over from end-of-October deal. Online the incentives from October just carried over until November 18th but the "special incentives" dealers have might have changed.
