Bringing Daddy from the Dark side!

[BGDUMMY]

I am trying to convert my Dad from a
Ford Gasser to the "Real Thing" and in a spur of the moment we went Cummins shopping today.
Since he has not done any research considering prices, I would like to know if this is as good a deal as it seems to be.
NEW 2001 Auto, Quad, Short bed,
2 tone, 265/75/16 Michelins, Fogs,
3. 55 LS, Camper Package, bed liner,
Am-Fm/cass. -CD, PW, PDL, Cruise,
Pwr Seat, Pwr Mirrors.
$29,995
Any input would be appreciated.

BGDUMMY,

I sounds like a good price to me, but you can look up the invoice price on a number of Web sites. (carpoint.com for example) Don't forget that the dealer also gets kickbacks from the manufacturer.

BTW, I used to own a 97 F250HD with the 460 gasser and I would never buy another gas engine again. They are gutless compared to the Cummins.

Try comparing it to the prices on this site: www.edmunds.com

you should not pay over 150 dollars more than the dealers price. I bought my last two vehicles thru this site, and it works well!

is this a 4x4? I paid 30,800 for mine if you want to compare (3500 4x4 quadcab eth/6 speed with the all the other stuff you mentioned minus the fogs/bedliner/power seat)

you can email www.bennyboyd.com and they will send you a quote... i know your not coming to Tx to buy a truck, but it should give you an idea, they are one of the rock-bottom pricers in Tx.

Yes, it is a 4x4 and it does have a $1000 incentive already included in that price.
Thanks for the web link info.

I have NEVER believed anyone that says he wants to buy a new pick-up,or any other car, that a brand doesn't matter!
Every person has, deep seated in their mind, their favorite: team, ice-cream, tool maker, water-softener, washer & dryer, etc #ad
and truck' so that, no matter what anyone says, they are 'hardened-in-their hearts' in what they think is best.
Just like the 'Super-Bowl. ' Either you have a 'heart team' or you don't give a ^**, ie: care!
