Dealer was a couple hundred less, but it was way easier. Also, my payoff was $500 less than I thought, and I asked why, and he said something like it was a hold back, or something. I can't remember exactly, but I'm thinking I wouldn't have got that money back if I hadn't gone to a ford dealer. Wish I had more details on that part, but was just glad to hear the payoff was less.

Why are fully camouflaged F-150s still being spotted?

What you really need to do:
Find a dealership you trust and want to do business with.
Get them to spec one out for you, that is they build with hope of selling you one.
Ask to see the complete paper, it will have many numbers on it but you are most interested in MSRP window sticker, Invoice and a term called holdback. Also has x plan price if you are eligible.
At that point take the invoice and subtract 1000 from it plus any applicable rebates and say that is what I will pay for the truck...if they come back at anywhere close or a complete match NEXT below.
No they will not be making tons of money on you but they get to keep a local valued service customer, a skinny front end deal is better than no deal at all..
Be prepared to wander out the door if necessary and keep a copy of the order for reference, it is not a closely held secret eyes only document...all dealers have it.
When the price is negotiated on the truck...
NEXT
Now for the trade in, if you have one do some homework first and shop it on Carvan, if you have a Carmax close there as well...and you will know the ACV (actual cash value) of the trade that will be at or below what a dealership of like product would give for it...
I am not into padded numbers as they are fraught with danger for you...
When you have agreed to a trade value then you can begin paperwork with sigs on both ends (you and the Dealership)
Sorry for the long story but this is the easiest way I have ever bought cars and when I sold how I treated my new car customers.
remember with a trade there are 2 transactions you selling a car to the dealer and the dealer selling you a car...not doing you a favor by taking the old one off your hands.

If I had held on to the truck until the end of term, I'd have paid 4 more payments = $2300
I would have had a mileage fee of about $1500, and the truck would have been sitting most of the next 4 months. it's 25 cents/mile
I would have spend another $3800 on a truck I wasn't really using. By selling it now, I saved all of that, plus made almost $500. That's a $4300 swing. It was a no-brainer to sell it.
In hindsight, I should have gotten a higher mileage lease. But I had all these plans for the truck and was thinking I'd be keeping it. Those plans never came to fruition so keeping the truck beyond the lease became not important to me. I'm ready for a new vehicle, just not sure what it's going to be yet.

4 more payments. So here's how it broke down $ wise and why I think this was a good option.

What was your mileage plan. Thinking about leasing a 21. I rarely drive my 13 now only has 82k miles on it. So i figured i would try a lease.
