How much did you pay for your D-Max?

[pimpasschevy]

I am ready to buy but the damn prices are outrageous! I looked at a brand new crew cab 4x4 and the salesman wouldnt budge past $40,000.... The sticker price was 43

[Sierra Stud]

You must be buying new I take it. I picked my d-max up for $26,500 used 2002 LS leather short bed ext. cab 4x4 with 45,000 miles mid-last year (haggled for 5hrs down from $29,995). I can't buy new, like everyone else say's, the moment you drive it off the lot you just throw away $10,000. Personally, I figure 45,000mi is nothing on a diesel.

[pimpasschevy]

yeah Im talkin new. I've always bought used and just want something new, especially the LBZ! Im looking at crew cab 4x4's short beds.. I would buy used if it was a year or two old low miles and a lift.. But I really like that LBZ I just test drove one and daaaaaamn...

[Sierra Stud]

Don't quote me on this, but the guy I bought my edge juice said that the 07 d-max has something in the tranny to where if it goes over like 700 ft/lb (say if you installed a chip)would cause it to shut down. If someone else knows different let me know. Like I said, it's just hear say.

Jeez, out here they'd laugh you off the lot if a 23 year old was looking at a 45k+ vehilce. I've havent seen a new D-max/ally/crew/4x4 for under 45k in my area.

You're not going to find much haggling on the price of the diesels - dealers know they sell near sticker.

My 06' D-max had a $47k sticker (LT-3) and got it for $40k. That was back in Sept. of 05'.

Back When They Were Doing Employee Pricing.

You can get a Ford SD PSD for $15,000 off sticker here in Texas right now.

Just picked up a 2004 quad cab shortbed fully loaded LS Dmax for 27000. Only has 14,000 miles on it too. I thought it was a steal! Forgot to mention this was a dually also.

[LikeaRock14]

Our 06 is CCSB is 4WD, LT1 trim package, Victory Red, not all the ammenities but still a hell of a truck. We picked it up during the red tag event for like $35,400 out the door

It is called Limp mode. It is to save the tranny, but once you have limped it, it gets easier and easier each time there after to limp it. And it does not apply to only the '07, all the allison transmission from previous years have it.

some of U guys are catchin awesome deals. I've looked at a few
D-max's out here and, unless it has at least 100k on it you can't touch it for less than 25-27 grand.I't got me lookin at an 8.1 CCSB right now cause it is soo much cheper,and it has all the luxuries.

ibthumpin is right, maybe it's a New York thing, I'm 20 with cash and perfect credit and if I go into a dealership they don't even want to talk to me. Last time I went to a dealership, I told him what I was looking for and he was like "so money is no object". needless to say I didn't buy a truck from him. in fact I've yet to buy a truck, but am really considering the
8.1 Ally.crewcab cause its such a good price

[HemiHunter]

[kylersaulsbury]

I havent had any problems with the dealers.. I bought my 98 over two years ago with a thousand down and no co-signer... 4.5% financing! I have perfect credit, a truck to trade in, and $20,000 at least to put down. 2 years ago I was approved for 30 grand so I dont see why I will have any trouble now.. I found an 06, 6 inch lift, rims and tires, brand new for $52,000 on the lot. How much should I be able to jew these guys down?

ibthumpin is right, it is very hard to talk a dealer down on a diesel. But, screw'em I'd start at $44,000, let them laugh, you can always come up on your offer! If they don't come down as much as you want, buy a std dmax with the trim package you want, the $8 to 9,000 difference can by what you want and then some.

[pimpasschevy]

Yeah I was thinkin about startin at 44 or 45, I wont go any higher than 47!! that would be a waste of beer money! BTW do they offer a leveling kit for the HD's? If I buy stock then I will probably level it out, rims/tires, and throw in some performance goodies for now.

Yeah, you can get some torsion bar key's (leveling kit) pretty cheap or you can just crank the t-bars to level as well. What size skins are you going to run?
