My order details.....
This is a great deal at $50 over invoice, especially for you California guys where dealers are trying to get $5k or more over MSRP.
One word of caution though, Louisberg Ford in KS has a high tax rate of 9.25% so be sure and calculate that into your figures. + delivery fees.
Even at only $50 over invoice, the high tax rates makes it a worse deal for ME working with dealers at lower tax rates. Food for thought.
It's nice to hear of these dealers working close to invoice though, much respect for them. They still make around 3% on the holdback from Ford.
Huh? I bought my 14' from Louisburg and I didn't pay sales tax to them. They tried to charge me $299 for some 3rd party to handle the title registration and taxes but I told them that I will only pay Missouri's DMV, that I don't trust these so-called 3rd parties. They didn't push it, did the paperwork without it and let me go on my way.
They said the reason they do that because they have had issues where an individual buys these trucks but is actually working for another dealership back when they were on allocation and other dealers were not getting as many as they wanted. They would sell them with a mark-up so they weren't concerned with the hold-back. I think they make a judgement call when they see you or how the deal progresses.
With my county and local sales tax, they are at 8.875% anyways but luckily you only have to pay tax on the trade-in difference. Louisburg added that into the financing and wrote me a check back. They got me a great rate of 1.64% through Wells Fargo too.
