In Reply to: How do you get a good deal on a new truck? posted by T.C. in Tx on January 03, 2013 at 17:26:42:

T.C.* First of you are here in Texas where there is an abundance of New and Pre-owned, and Program trucks that have come off lease and can be gotten at a substantial savings.
Since you know what you want that is the easy part.
*Where are you located?
*I ask the next ? for a reason! How many miles a yr are you putting on this truck? I know you are thinking New But a low mileage Pre-owned truck say 1 yr old will get you more of every bell and whistle you want with a substantial savings!
*I don't know if that might perk you any at all!
*The others have given a lot of good advise *Research this truck 12 ways from Saturday Know what it cost new, Go sit down with the New Truck Manager and Spec out... Your Truck, As if you were goin to "Custom Order" a new one, Not taking one off the lot! Every bell, every whistle, Every thing that is in the Book, I Ordered twice in my life.
**But I have Speced out many, many, many times. AS IF That is your truck when it arrives sitting on the Transport That is usually the best price on a new truck, Car.,Same as above, No money put down to get the ball rolling.
*Look at the Pre-owned trucks, internet @1 yr old, 30K, 40K 50K! etc, etc. Know where you want to BE before you walk in to a dealer!
*ARE You a CASH Buyer, If so you have all the power. If not that is OK too.
***Before you go into a particular dealer go on their web site, figure out the chain of authority, DO NOT TAKE The Low Man on the Totum Pole.
*Ask the first person who walks up to you in the dealership if he has the authority to make and finalize your deal if Not, Direct you to that person who can!,
* Then say Nobody get up from the desk to ask anybody anything/or go to the restroom. When we sit down the deal process works or YOU leave.END Of Subject!
*Tell them They have 1 shot to earn your business and ! shot only!!!!! You are not playing paddy-cake with them, So don't Waste your and mine!
**OBTW Do Not Be afraid to Pick your happy self up and walk out the door. Also Break it off in them,, that you do not have a problem buying half way across the country. Dealers in most big cities are more than happy to make a deal on the internet or over the phone. You Fly into Denver, OKC,etc, etc, They pick you up at the Airport, Drive to the dealership sign the papers. and let you drive home.
A reletive of mine tried trading all over the Tx, Okla. Panhandle. He found the largest Dodge Dealership in the Nation up in Idaho and they Beat the locals by 5K, a plane ticket, and they met him at the airport, in Boise ID, in his new truck, went to the Dealership, signed papers, and he drove home.
*I bought a Program truck In Portales NM a few yrs ago. my local dealer had to service it. Portales had one on the lot like I wanted, my local dealer didn't and didn't seem to care about selling me a truck.
***Also If you are in close enough to DFW, Listen to the WBAP on Sat AMs to the Car Pro Show, visit with them, They seems to have a way to really helps some folks too
The Smaller Dealers will treat you better
***
IE;;; 3 Chevy dealers I like....
Hoffpauir Chevy, Lampasas, Tx
Bruner Chevy, Stephenville, & Brownwood Tx
Bennie Boyd Chevy, Lamesa, Tx.
Hope this helps!
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
