New Truck Search
In today's age of the internet, who knows what is available to the regular guy. So I ask here.
When I go to a Ford dealership and they don't have what I'm looking for, they can pull up on their computer other dealer stock. They can put in parameters such as F350 DRW, Lariat, Silver, Black Interior and on and on. Then it locates trucks at other dealers that meet those specs.
But if I want that truck, they want to go get it and sell it to me. They won't bargain as much because they lose the holdback money and they have to pay someone to drive somewhere to get it. I'd much rather deal with the dealership that has the truck to start with. That's how I bought my last truck.
Is their any way we can access that network? Sure, there's autotrader but not nearly all of the dealers out there use that.
