Not sure what the Ford dealer is willing to discount, but a local Kia dealer near me has 3 2017 leftover Kia Hyoki 4 door sedans that are loaded up with everything, and sticker for a tad over 25K. Take your pick of any of the 3, they're all white, for $15.5K. That's a 38% mark down and probably a realistic 25 to 30% from what you could have negotiated that puddle jumper for from sticker last year.
A lot has to do with when the dealer floored the F250. Until it's numbers go into brackets from sitting around on the lot, they'll probably hold their ground at a little over true invoice less any incentives. Once it ends up in the true loss column that's not reversible, and compounds itself monthly, they'll start dropping on what they'll take real quick. It's all about timing. Auto sales are in the crapper right now so I would keep hounding them often if I wanted that leftover.
I am all for getting the best deal possible but your example is totally unrealistic. You can't sell a sedan right now, much less a Kia, and the Ford truck is America's number one selling vehicle. To think about a 38% discount is just silly thinking. I can tell you when the truck was floor planned...the day it was shipped. Every Ford comes with a time of pre-paid floor plan.
