Looked at an 09 F150 this morning...
 

Hattie wants bad!:D Dark blue like the SDL was, chrome bumpers, light gray interior with actualy pretty decent vinyl seats, although I still would prefer cloth. I like Ford's new interior, almost as nice as my dads old 1994. I like the retro looking guage layout, much nicer than the sparten look of the previous model. I like the new tail lights and tailgate, it has kind of a built in spoiler look to it, with Lincoln ish tail lights.

It had the 3 valve 4.6L V8 with the 6speed auto, and 3.55 posi rear, so the drive line to get.

What it didn't have which I want is the towing package. The dealer is dumb not to order the trucks with it, its only $350 and you get a bigger radiator, transmission cooler, and a hitch wired in with a plug. For $350 I want the larger radiator and trans cooler!

The dark blue with light gray is a dumb combo to, blue shows everything. Good choice for an S class but horrible for a truck. I want silver, or gray.

$21k and some change, but Ford knocks $3k off right away, and I can get the $500 college discount. So its really about $18k before negotations begin.:D Plus supposidly the trade in value of the POS VW is $1,300.:D I need to save some more, I really don't want a loan but its so damn tempting...if I put $10k down it wouldn't be so bad...

Hattie wants a new truck bad, that new truck smell is like crack.:D Made getting back into the little tin can VW so hard, so much more room and power. Plus I can throw my friends ATV in the back with a bunch of guns and beer for some camping fun.:D

Did they offer you the free oil changes for life too?

Every time I buy a new truck for one of our salepeople I always take delivery for them on a Friday so I can drive them all weekend long. It always makes me think of doing foolish things like financing a new truck. :D

If you're going to routinely wash your truck, white conceals scrapes and scratches real well. The salespeople are given color choices but all of our delivery vehicles are white for that reason.

I don't want white because its going to look like a fleet or UI truck. Silver is a nice middle ground, it hides everything and looks somewhat decent.


The VW almost stranded me on the way to school today.:rolleyes: It decided to fry the plug wire end going to number 2 spark plug and it missfired horrible as I limped it home. According to the codes cylinder 1 is missfiring as well. Fantastic another $100 down that rat hole.:rolleyes: If I had the money AAA would be towing it to the Ford dealer and I'd be driving home in a new F150.:D I'm tired of old junk cars, now I can't deliver the form to change my degrees concentration today, so I can graduate. VW's will be the end of me.:mad:

Sounds good!

You make it sound so dirty. :D

$12,000 off sticker?

I looked at them too. I have a 2003 that my wife drives as she has horses and needs hauling capacity. It's a beautiful truck and if they would make a deal I might just pull the trigger, but the salesman said they were not discounting them at all. I said thanks anyway and left.

When there my fleet I'll live with white, but since I'll be the owner I won't have to drive one.:D

I'm hoping this summer, after they sit on those trucks for another 4-5 months they are in more of a negotiating mood.:D

I have a feeling that your Golf can sense your *slightly* negative attitude about it....and thus breaks down extra often to make you mad. :D ;)

Our old Caravan is a POS but we've kept an "it will never break" attitude about it....and so far it has gone for nearly 2 years with essentially NO repairs or breakdowns.....just a couple oil changes.

Cars know....you have to be nice to them. ;)

I don't get along with VW products.

I've pulled a VW like yours with both the G and my SDL. Give one of us a call the next time your stranded:)

Can I run over the VW with the G?




I wonder what the insurance company would pay out.... :D:D:D

Pretty sweet. I talked to a sales guy at the Ford Dealer about an F150. One similar to the one your talking about, and it was on sale for $19,500 before any discounts or haggling...
