I went to the ford dealership today to discuss the lease on my ‘22 F-150 Lariat, which ends in October.
Took my build sheet from the Ford website, with the pricing for another Lariat, and said order me this. I know there’s none with that build in Florida, but the dealer in Cocoa Beach has one in transit.
So I said order me one, or get that one from Cocoa when it comes in, and call me when it’s here.
On my way out he says, come look at this F-150 Platinum we have. It’s just like the build you want, but with more stuff. Same color, everything. But also has massage seats, self driving, retractable running boards multi function tail gate, and more.
What’s the numbers? He ran them and I said nope. Get me the Lariat from the other dealer or factory.
Hoped in my truck, and about to pull out, and he knocks on the window. “The Manager wants to show you something “. Ok.
I go back in and he says, you’re a good customer, we appreciate your loyalty, and we’ll let you have the Platinum for the exact same price as the Lariat you specked out! Lots more truck, same price.
Looks like I’m going to get a new truck tomorrow!
