The main thing is that you're happy with your purchase bro, that's all that really matters, sounds as though you got an outstanding deal!You're right on the money.
My purchase details are on page 27 if you're curious. With a median income as high as it is here - dealers are used to people overpaying for things. The dealership I had a terrible experience at (Sound Ford) still has all of their 2019s sitting on the lot, growing moss. Eventually they'll sell them for a reasonable price. Apparently Sound Ford has a very poor reputation as it turns out. Other dealers like Lakewood, Sunset, Titus-Will Tacoma etc - none of them were going even consider selling a Lariat in the mid 30's so if I compare my deal to median price of these new I'm even happier.
Long and short: despite the pre-owned status, I got a higher trim Lariat for even less money and I never had to set foot in a dealership. Pruitt Ford, btw, were terrific to work with even thought I was out of state - even took care of a TSB while things were being processed.
Here in Honolulu, we've just 3 Ford dealers (such is the price of living in Paradise), one of them quoted me 8K above MSRP on a 2019 S/Crew Lariat last June.
Yes, you read that right, eight thousand dollars above MSRP, needless to say, I told the salesperson EXACTLY what they could do with that vehicle...
Last I saw, their inventory showed 32 2019 Rangers in stock, hope they enjoy eating them!
