My quandary...Suggestions appreciated.
Dealer "A" which is a local dealer, has a Raptor scheduled for delivery on the 18th of this month. The truck has exactly what we are going to order as far as options go. They said (over the phone - we are going down next week to talk in person) that they will only go as low as $500 over invoice pricing. Also, I will have to more than likely take a hit on my current truck as a trade in versus selling it outright for more cash.
Dealer "B" (which is a few hours out of state) sells at $100 over invoice.
Herein lies my problem. If we order from Dealer "B" this will give me time to sell my truck out right for a little extra cash for the down payment. But then there's the wait time of the order. He also said that he can't guarantee me a 2013 truck because of his allotments and I'd be #10 on his list of I ordered today.
Dealer "A" has the truck coming next week. This sale will depend on the amount they are willing to cough up for a trade-in of my current truck. And also interest rates. I'm either going through USAA or Ford. USAA has already quoted me.
Should we let a few thousand dollars bother us and keep us from making a sale? Or is the wait worth it to save a few extra grand by being able to sell my current truck. My truck has been paid off for a few years, but I'd rather not have two trucks sitting in my driveway hoping to sell the one.
