I ate at a Chick-fil-A last week and they were out of ranch.
I studied aerospace at Auburn and had no problems finding a job.

My advice for undergrad engineering would be to go to the best in state school you can and do well academically. Yes, A&M is probably the best SEC engineering school but a 4.0 will get you far when it comes to jobs or grad school applications.
OP’s photo showed no aircraft in the Fort Worth center. What happened to the dual redundancy in our ATC system? Surrounding centers should have been able to pick up the workload while they shut down to disinfect. Takeoff delays? Yes. A Bermuda Triangle in the middle of the US? No.

You realize they are just making you pay msrp and making their money on the trade anyway right?


Exactly, that's why I started this thread to ask for tips to buy/order a F250 without being required to trade.

Have you searched nationally for the exact vehicle you want OP?


Yes, I tried that and found something close in Georgia. They required a trade if I didn't want to pay MSRP.

Huh? WTF does that mean. How do you think you can trade a lease vehicle?


I can buy it at the end of the lease.

In this case the dealer wanted me to trade it to him for a loss.

How'd you end up in this pickle?


One of the dealers I was talking to in Georgia required me to trade in my current vehicle. They offered $22K for my Tundra but my payoff is $36K. I told them to take a hike.

I do have Xplan, was hoping to get better than Xplan pricing but right now I just want someone to work with me.

Can I use Xplan if I'm dealing with the Fleet Manager?

Looking to get a 6.7 Diesel Lariat in Blue. Wife (no pics) wants the Black Appearance package so I'm getting that to get the truck. Few other options here and there.

Local dealer didn't know F250s came in Blue...

So as a long term reader of the OT I know the Will Cover method of buying a new car. I also know the strategy of emailing 30 dealerships with what you want and choose the best offer after 48 hours. Does anyone have any advice for ordering vehicle?

I'm looking at a F250 and the only way to get the color/options that I want as to order the vehicle. Most dealers stop talking to me when they realize I won't buy one off the lot. The ones who continue to talk to me require a trade or for me to use their 6.9% financing. I'm currently leasing a Tundra and won't accept $22K for it when the purchase price from Toyota is $36K.

Any advice is appreciated.

Since I know how the OT works, I present Kate Bock for your troubles.
