[QUOTE="MZRaptor, post: 1867466, member: 23722"] Again - for me it's a trade off of time/money. The experience of ordering at MSRP and then being strung along with an endless number of missed ETAs - all with no explanation or remedy - for me there is a price tag/value that can be put on that. So as I saw it - by holding out for this truck at MSRP, I was actually STILL paying over MSRP, but I was doing it with my time and sanity and not necessarily with my dollars. Dollars I can earn more of. Time and sanity are limited resources. In my case - very limited lol. I called a local dealer who had a truck that I wanted on their website at $15k over. Told him I lived 1 mile away and if they were willing to be reasonable, I would come talk in person. I showed up, offered $1k over, and we ultimately settled at $2500 over, but they included ford hard rolling tonneau cover, bed divider, and wheel locks. They also gave me $500 more than any other dealer was willing to give me on my trade. Did I get ripped off? Yea... maybe. But I think a good deal is defined as when both parties feel like they got something they wanted. Dealer got a little ADM on a very nice truck, and a new loyal, local customer; I got my truck and the freedom to stop checking the Ford tracker. Win-win as far as I'm concerned. Good luck everyone. As I said before, the truck is sweet and totally worth it - whatever "it" is for you. [/QUOTE]
