Check with your friends and family.

Costco has probably the best deal for prices. Basically, they have arrangements for fleet rates. It's not a BS deal at all. Besides, what's it gonna hurt to check it out?

I will look into costco- thanks

Dennis Dillon in Boise, ID, and Dave Smith in Kellogg, ID, both typically have very competitive pricing. They also have arrangements for transportation to/from the local airports, and other conveniences for out of state purchasers. Might be worth looking into. They both have websites.

Determine the exact model/options you want, then go to cars.com and all the dealers websites in you area to find the unit/units they have on the lot. Email them per their website and tell them you are contacting all dealers in the area to buy the vehicle from the one who gives the best price. I would not use the prices they give to haggle back and forth, but remind them you know invoice pricing, holdback and current incentives. They will know you have done your homework and you will find a great deal. Only do it through email though and print multiple copies of their offer as so they don't "misplace" because they have tried that tactic with me. Anyway, just tell them it will be an easy sale as long as the road test passes... Only once did I pay above invoice and that was when I built an M3 for my wife and had little choice per the process.

BTW, you will get some grumping/refusals to email you info, and you will get others with MSRP minus $1K. Expect both, but keep plugging because you will get it unless it is some new crazy limited edition model...

Good advice, but if he can get an EP or F&F voucher, he will save money and hassle.

To the OP, I hope you can get someone to help you out.

thanks me too. most of the dealers I am working with have been emailing me the prices, which is good since there are several in the area. I will do like stated above. we are in Lafayette, LA right now

Find the truck you want at Dennis Dillon online and take that to your local dlr and ask them to keep you from going to Idaho. The prices are very fair.

i have been working the dealers today- so far so good as we are getting close to the final numbers. will let you know what happens
thanks for all the great tips

X2 - And use the "sale price" not the "as low as" price. The "as low as" price requires you be a member of a bunch of obscure organizations that I'm sure you are not part of.

Their prices are great ammo to use for negotiating or just fly there and drive it home.

Costco is also okay - I bought a truck that way once and it was super easy. You'll hear people say they sat in a cubicle arguing for 27 ours and got a better deal which may be true. At least you know you are doing pretty well with Costco.
