Truck purchase....I survived!!!
Hey, Posted earlier about factory ordering a truck. Sent out numerous requests to dealers and only got two numbers back....the rest simply said, "bring us your quote and we'll meet it or beat it."...

Tried to work a deal, but was bombarded with the "what sort of payment are you looking for?" Wasn't going to play that one, so promptly excused myself.
Found a '13 with only about 5K on it, and when I asked the salesman what the price was (no sticker anywhere on it) we had to go inside :R In my mind I knew it was about a $54K truck as it sat, but was floored when the sales manager came over with his sheet that had $85K on it as the original new price, slashed down to the$69K used price, then the 'discount' applied for me so it sat at $57K. Before he could start his schtick I held up my hand and said, "that truck was NEVER worth $85K, and I can bet you I could build a brand new 2015 for less than your used price, so considering your truck is 2 years old, if you want to apply your discount to the lowest price on your sheet for me, then we might have something to talk about." Pretty much stunned him and stopped him in his tracks. Took the opportunity to excuse myself again...
Why do you keep leaving after you get the opportunity to have the upper hand? Are you sure you really want to buy something now?
Go ahead and do the dickering (that part is free). If you can't make a deal you like you can walk away then. They don't get your money until you give it to them.
