Where can I find out Dealers Cost?

Optimus Prime · 06-28-2006, 02:24 PM

I'm possibly, maybe, sort of, looking into a new truck (Ford F-250) and was wondering where I could find actual dealer cost?

Start here with Edmunds.com. Click on the Style you want for retail and invoice options.

Edit: You wanted F250, so try this one instead.

FYI, for those of us who don't pay cash, Chevy is offering 0% financing again.

I just talked with my Ford guy and he mentioned that the since the SuperDuty is getting a new model soon, Ford is really pushing them. He expects 0% for 72 to be available and he said he'd sell at cost. Not at invoice (which doesn't include holdbacks and such), but at cost. So I'm trying to find out what the holdback are and such.

They have a decked out Powerstroke, 4x4, crew cab for $8k under MSRP with X-plan right now. I'm trying to see if I can get it to $10K under MSRP at which point I'll prolly pull the trigger.

Wow. 0% for 72 months and under invoice.

You'd be silly to pay for it in cash. GMAC offers an FDIC insured money market that is currently earning 4.8%. Throw your money in there and over 6 years it will be like you paid an additional 17% less, albeit before taxes.

0% makes it a very easy decision to finance. I really wasn't planning on getting a bigger truck this soon, but it might turn out to be a very good idea.

BTW holdback varies according to the number of vehicles delivered that month, so there is no set amount. And why in some cases you can get a great deal on the last business day of the month. If hte dealer is at a break point for holdback, they will sell very cheap, because they make more on every vehicle already sold that month.
