Stopped to look at 2021 tremor

Canada is expensive. Average price for 250 Tremor Lariat is 90K plus. I was able to find a 250 Tremor Lariat loaded for 88K, was a good price compared to others, got some discounts and trucks are so hot was able to sell our F150 for a gain to put down on the Tremor. Loving the truck
 
I see this is in Concord, CA so not surprised. I'm in the Sacramento region and the dealers here do the same thing. My local dealer, where I bought my ordered Tremor from and got it for under invoice (invoice, not MSRP), does that on all but the most basic vehicles on their lot. I've asked them before and they've told me - why not. Some people will pay it and if they don't do it then it's like leaving $s on the table.

I told them I can see that logic but as an informed shopper I find it a huge turn-off and view them as greedy. The sales guy told me that most shoppers are not informed and will simply pay it. Now this discussion was before services like Costco and Truecar and even KBB were prevalent and even with a small amount of effort you can find the invoice or "true market value" of a car. But some people are just terrible with car purchases and abhor confrontation so they'll pay it. Ugh.


Good insight - although those people are pretty rare. Dealers often use the ABF (addt’l b_tt f_uck) just to start high, add perceived value and the Super Duty’s are a hot commodity with relatively low inventory. They can always come down. Classic old school BS - but it works sometimes.
 
I actually went by yesterday and the truck sold ?

I feel sorry for the person who bought it. I hope they do not come on here to find out about their awesome new truck and realize they were taken to the cleaners by the dealer. :mad:

I'd recommend calling Bill Fick Ford in Huntsville, TX. They are the countries #1 SD dealership and ship them all over the country to customers. They are always fair on pricing and I guaranteed will beat any local dealer and they don't put markups on the Tremors. Don't ever buy from a "local" dealer without calling Bill Fick and no, I don't work there or have any connections. I've not even purchased there....yet!
 
Those are some crazy numbers some dealers are trying to get. It doesn't take much of an internet search to find a better deal. I can drive several hours to a dealer if it means I save a few grand. I always research exactly what I want then contact 6 or 8 dealers and tell them to give me their best price on the vehicle. If the lowest is more than an hour away, I contact the closer dealers and tell them to match it or I'll travel to get it. Depending on the distance, I will sometimes take a closer dealer that is close enough to make up for any inconvience.

In the GMC world, Laura GMC in Collinsville, IL is usually the cheapest around. Most HD trucks can be gotten for about 8k to 10k off the MSRP. When I was buying a Yukon Denail a couple of years ago, I took the quote form Laura to a local dealer and they ran me out of the place. I finally found a dealer about an hour and a half away that came within $2k of the Laura price. I decided the flight to St Louis and the drive back wasn't worth the $2k at the time so I bought from that dealer. I take that approach with all vehicles. Unforttunatly, I don't know who the Ford equivallnt is to Laura GMC.
 
Future Ford of Concord has got to be one of the absolute worst in nor cal when it comes to price. I’ve seen more than several vehicles there with huge markups and no justification.
