Look up prices for what you want at mac haik ford in Houston


You can go buy one there if you want to drive to Houston or just use it as a bargaining tool with local dealers

Bought a loaded out FX4 Wednesday from Hollingsworth in Br for 41K. They also threw in a spray in bedliner. Sticker was 52200. They gave me a great deal on my trade as well.

If you don't have a trade then Mac Haik is the place to go. If your trading your not getting dick on your trade in Houston. I called them to try and work out a deal. Most they would do on my 2007 suburban was 8k. It had 123k miles but was in great shape. Hollingsworth gave me 11K for it. The Truck was 1k less in Houston but trade in was a deal breaker.

I was thinking more along the lines of 30 or 40 to pick from.

I'll have to order what I want. Absolutely no doubt.

The market is saturated with 13's right now. All of the dealerships have them new that they have to sell. 12k off msrp is the norm right now. The Internet shows their msrp, for the most part.

Here is 4lsu2's vehicle buying protocol:
All you have to do is pick one out and simply tell them you are going to buy one today and ask if they are in the selling mood today. Tell them you aren't interested in any other bullshite but bottom line pricing. When they ask about a trade, tell them you are keeping your existing vehicle to pull that POS Ford back to them when it breaks down. This gets them to their selling price. Once they give you this price, tell them thank you and it appears they aren't in the selling mode today. Next, call another dealership after looking at their website and tell them the same thing about a particular unit on their lot. Give them the stock number and say you are about to buy one at such and such dealership and wanted to see if they cared about making a sell. Get their lowest price and compare it with the first offer. This is where it gets to be a hoot!!!

Once you get the second price, tell both of them to piss up a rope. This eliminates the conversation of a trade in. When you get to the point of buying, go back and say you're ready and that particular price but decided to trade in. Now you're at your price on the new vehicle and have the trade as bargaining power. They will attempt to low ball the trade and make their money back from the new one. Walk away when they insult you on the trade and tell them the other dealership is offering you more money.

I've made many a enemy doing this over the last month. Several salesmen have been told to eat a bag of dicks, piss up a rope, no way I'd buy here if this was the last place on earth, etc. In the end, I saved several thousand dollars both ways (new and trade in) and couldn't be happier. They are all wanting to screw you to tears to make their commission, but you are the gorilla with a chainsaw for a cock in this situation.

Well put. I have a feeling ford salesman are going to start wondering why everyone is telling them to piss up a rope.
