A lil Sticker shock

I believe the actual cost is called green sheet. I think you can research factory to dealer incentives online. The get a 3% holdback for advertising and it covers about 3 months interest of holding it on the lot. After 3 months the dealer is out of pocket. I bought a ford for 50 over invoice and the car salesman only got paid 50 dollars. My dads best friend worked there and later told me that. He wasnt allowed to sell new trucks so I didnt speak to him. A 2001 QC 4x4 2500 loaded could be had for 7500 under market value here in alaska . so you folks should be able to hit a bit better than 8000 under ADM.

Best Price!!

The wifey and I are waiting for the HO and 48RE before we get our 03. But I have been shopping all around. Truck and car sales are down so shop around!!

The best price I have been quoted is $500 under invoice:--) :--) That's right $500 UNDER :--) invoice and another dealer said they'd beat it, but we have not sat down and talked $$$.



Then I went to Consumer reports and got a "New Car Price Service" report for the 2500 as the 3500 was not available. I e-mailed them and 7 days later it was available!! This little $12 report could save you 100's to 1000's. My Goal is $750 to $1000 or more Under invoice. If I get $600 I still win

Remember the dealer and salesman are there to get as much of your money as possible. The Salesman is NOT your buddy (ever notice how fast he forgets your name after you sign on the dotted line!)

Remember Truck and car sales are down. If they want a sale have them make it at your price, not theirs. If the price is not low enough, walk out. You may have to walk out several times.



Check out these sites. If you want more info e-mail me... I don't know if I should post salesman's names???
