The financing is high and the $2000 incentive - When I got my new 2002 model, I had to pay more than that to repair the damages caused by the leaking front window. Since Ford refuses to acknowledge this mistake (and others have suffered as well), maybe I should buy another truck and use the $2000 incentive to pay for any repairs Ford builds into the truck. Of course, I doubt if they deal the base price down like they might with slow sales. So, you probably end up paying the same and have high financing thrown in as well For more on Fords committement to poor quality see www.http://fordf150news.wordpress.com/ Although the trucks do look nice, it’s not much of a deal.

Dealerships LOVE ploys like this. It looks like the customer wins, but the dealer really has the power all along. Will Ford buyers buy it. I'm not impressed by this truck, and the days of getting 700-900k sales are over. DrFill An old shell game

You're somewhat different than some of the other sales people that have "graced" these pages. At least you don't just blindly tout one brand or one type of car. You seem interested in the betterment of all car makes, with a bit more enthusiasm for the American makes. This is good. Yard Dog, you can tell us who you sell for.

Maybe they should throw in a free sleeping bag so you can camp out until it's your turn. Oh yeah, this will have them forming a queue at the dealership finance office.

You can put a trailer hitch on a TDI jetta and tow a good 3000lbs. yeah thanks i got that part but my point is, if you are debating about trading your car in for a pickup youre going to need every push you can get cause chances are your car is going to get significantly better mileage and unless your a contractor or something of the sort you probably dont need a truck.

So if the book or trade was $10K, then you would get $12K worth of trade in value. See, truck trade-in value right now sucks. So this would really help people moving from a truck to another truck.
