Dealing with the Dealer ??
I've been looking at new trucks lately and have decided on a 2014 F350 crew cab 4x4 6.7 8' bed XL. The msrp on the window sticker is $51,192 after talking with the guy some today we are at ...$42,775...

I am a retired auto dealer. Believe me, you did great on your purchase. I don't have current incentives on your purchase, but I wouldn't be surprised if the dealer lost some money on that sale. Most of you would be surprised how often a dealer loses money (real money-below invoice and all incentives) on the sale of a new vehicle. This doesn't apply to high end luxury vehicles, but Ford trucks are a commodity in the way they are sold. We made a very good living making more money on used cars, parts, and service than we lost on new car sales. It always amazed me how people would go down the street to save $100 on a $30,000 vehicle, and then say nothing when they paid $300 for a 30,000 mile service. (which the dealer would make 220 dollars on) The car sale had a 1% return, the service sale a 70% return.
Anyway, congratulations on that fine looking truck. Like others, I can afford a top of the line truck, but sitting in my garage right now is a white Sierra WT with vinyl interior and rubber floor. It has nothing I don't need, and everything I do need.
