I to get very upset with many dealers and how much they inflate the prices of equipment, trucks, parts etc.. I do however realize that they to are in this to make a profit and if people buy the machines at these inflated prices the dealer will collect. It is up to the individual to research the machine and be sure they are walking away with what they feel is a fair deal. I have owned many fords and purchased them all through one dealer, i know the dealers son very well. I was told that on any given vehicles they could drop the price of the vehicle by 10-12k and still make money on the vehicle. I am also very close to a general manager at a Kenworth dealership and am told on many truck what they have in it for trade and what they are selling them for to idiots purchasing the trucks. I just purchased a 2000 Mack RD688, Great Condition, Low Miles. They were asking $37,900 for the truck originally. Me and my guy talked it out and I am walking out with the truck for $25,500. They are making about $1,500 and I am a happy camper. In reality, always offer 10-15k less than the asking price and know you will be in ball park trade in value, realize they have to make money.. negotiate something fair and purchase the truck/equipment.
