Tariffs

[basstracker89]

Ford employee pricing on the average F150 is now around $2000 more than the same truck in March with the previous incentives. This headline is more about marketing than savings for the US consumer.

Yep, you can bet they ain't losing money. I haven't been in the market for decades at this point

Besides $2k off a $90k truck?? Really?? That's what it would cost to replace my old Ford I paid $23,500 for new. I can't even imagine what tag and ins. would cost on somethin like that now

Remember that employee pricing is whatever Ford decides it is. % over invoice just means that they slip a few extra dollars of cost here and there and no one knows the difference. Labor rates in Mexico aren't nearly what they are in USA, so they just use the USA rate for everything and they still make their profit. Besides, most of the real profit is in the financing of the vehicles and not the sales.

They need to extend the warranties on the ragged junk they all turn out these days.

Yes, it sucks! However if you can bare the brunt of it stay with them! Then save all you have so you can buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!

I honestly don't see us near the bottom yet. Once tariff effects start to influence consumer prices, we're going to drop again. I have had three vendors email about price increases due to tariff induced raw material price increases. Real or perceived, the prices going up are going to stifle the economy.

The only brand new truck I’ve ever bought was an F150 in 98 for $25k. Not loaded but a nice truck. I’ve paid more for a Harley and got my money back lol.

Having been through this sh*t at least 4 times in my adult life, I just finished buying a boat load of on-sale stuff. No reason to panic.
