Hello, looking to purchase 2018 F150, XL, labeled new, but has 2500 miles on it. Price is good at 30,900, with MSRP at 41K. Can I expect to go lower, how much should be deducted from a "demo" car. Want to purchase now, expect 0% financing to go bye bye in October.

Ask to see the MSO & Inventory date


Offer them $ 800 over invoice including incentives.


Hard to believe that a dealer would put a " XL " in demo service

There is always a story behind the story.

As someone once stated. The car is the dealerships owners mothers car. She just drove it to church and back on Sundays.

Repo/turn-in from the last sucker who believed zero percent financing made the thing free.

Can't be advertised as new if repo.

Just seeing how low I can go. I'm thinking of offering 27K. Not a necessity, but I've always wanted/needed a pickup. MSRP of 41, they want 31, but yes...I will give it a good looking at, got to be a story. I have not seen it other than online, test drive Friday.

USED CAR, rather than been titled or not. Not knowing more details, accessories, it's worth $25,000 as it is used.

Can't be "new" except in a technical sense with 2500 on the clock. That's hundreds of "test drives."

Just shop used/lease-return and save even more.

Yeah actually it can if the title paperwork never got completed. Lets say "Joe Blow" came in on a Friday afternoon and got "approved" for the loan but by Monday morning the bank declined the deal. Dealer calls and tells Joe we need more money down to get the deal done. Joe decides to simply drive it until the repo it. At this point all the paperwork is at a standstill, according to the state the deal hasn't gone through. Guy puts a couple thousand miles on it and the dealer gets it back.

If it was never titled, it's new. Probably driven by a sales manager, and miles are already factored in.
Sounds like you are OK with the numbers and rate.

Don't do what some here will advise--- keep haggling until the dealer loses interest in your deal.

Yes, we conceded it was technically "new" - your point? If a car with 2500 miles worn off it is acceptable, there are tremendous bargains to be found in CPO vehicles with 12-20k on them. They're just not "new."

Oh, yes. Because auto dealers live and die by each discount sale and will come to him, weeping to accept their fire-sale offer.

(Not.)
