Question New Ford

[02SilverStroke]

Ryan, hope you can get a good deal there in Weatherford at Southwest Ford. I would not recommend Grand Prairie Ford to anyone. My son went there awhile back to check out a 2007 Explorer he found on their website. Those people were not wanting him to leave without making some type of commitment. He's 31, but is very slow in making decisions (much better than dear old dad). He will not be pressured into anything. We finally convinced them we were going to get a bit to eat and talk about it, and never went back. I've dealt with the same salesman for 20 years with absolutely no pressure.

For those of you who are considering buying a new one,

My friend owns a local Ford dealership. He says that people are trading in their USED PSDs in droves because of $4/gal diesel, and are buying better MPG vehicles. He said that the market is now glutted with these used trucks, and you will get pennies on the dollar for your trade.

New trucks are not the only inventory that has seen a drastic decline in value. Used trucks have declined 40% in value in the past year. If you are going to trade, do so with your eyes WIDE open....
