I gave up with the Joe Judge at Apple, Waldorf, and all the other northern VA/DC area dealers. It's like pulling teeth to get the same deal they've given others, so I just went and ordered up at Van Bortel in NY.
Invoice + about $100 in fees. Then about a $110 dollar plane ticket (x2 since I went with my wife) and another hundred bucks in gas. So... about invoice + $400 is what I paid, and didn't have to wheel and deal.
Only thing I DIDN'T like is that Van Bortel wanted payment prior to me even seeing the truck... they said they wouldn't let it off the lot due to a Ford rule if I didn't have a valid registration, and they wouldn't accept one of the temporary DMV registrations expressly for that purpose. And in order to get it fully registered in my home state, I would need the title, and therefore purchase the truck sight unseen.
It's a bit unsettling to fork over almost $50k for something I haven't even laid eyes on... There's NO WAY I would have done this if other members hadn't bought from these guys before...
