Want a new truck?

I wanted to order a new loaded F150 last July. When I inquired to local dealer they said $10k over sticker. I said no thanks. Got an email a week later that said $5k over sticker. I said no thanks. Got an email a few days later that said sticker. Ended up ordering exactly what I wanted for about $2,500 under sticker. Got it 5 months later. Still considerably closer to sticker than I was used to paying. But also got far more for my old truck than it had been valued at 6 months before. So it pretty much evened out.

Last summer there were almost no F series of any flavor on the lots. Trucks on dealer order were being bought before they arrived. Most lots now have a few. I would have thought pricing would have softened a little.
