I'm looking for some opinions (I came to the right place I bet) - It's October and 2019 are right around the corner. I'm looking for 4x4 Exp Platinum with HD Tow and Bucket seats. 2018 MSRP is $80k. Can you suggest the best price you have heard for a 2018 and a 2019?
I totally get the argument about a 2018 being 1 year older and having a lower Residual value when I go to sell in 2 years, hence my suggestion to dealers that their price needs to reflect this. I typically keep cars for 2 to 3 years, but I have no interest in leasing. I like the flexibility to do what I want when I want. This is a straight up buy situation and I will finance a minimum amount to get financing incentives too.
Frankly, I don't understand people paying X-Plan pricing. I can get this if I want it, but it just seems like a place to start the negations, meaning, everyone needs to do better than this (I know they can't within the X plan structure, but they cannot outside of it).
Also, I'm coming for a competitive product - I think Ford offers a $1k incentive on this too.
My goal - I'd like to get a 2019 for $73k or a 2018 for $70k. Can it be done?
Thanks in advanced for your thoughts and feedback.
