    Very close to buying 15/16 sport, few X-plan questions

    Sometimes there are additional incentives with X-Plan as well. X-plan makes the process much easier as well, walk in and the price is printed on the bottom of the invoice; you know exactly what you will pay. Multiply that by your states sales tax rate, minus any cash incentives, add your states...

    Sync 3

    I think maybe he got confused about the MFT Sync Version, that is currently 3.6.xx Ford has been pretty clear that the systems will NOT be upgradeable to the new Sync 3. If there is demand maybe they will come up with a dealer installed version, I think if they could do it for under $500...

    Man I am lovin' my new '15 Limited! I gained a buck and a brand new truck!

    Wow... he was happy about his purchase. He's the one that needs to live with it not any of you. I find people that think they know best how someone else should spend their money are the ones most unhappy with the choices they make when they spend their own. The deal was what worked best for him...

    Man I am lovin' my new '15 Limited! I gained a buck and a brand new truck!

    If you get a low interest rate over those 6 years you do much better with a long term loan, a dollar has lower value in 6 years. If you had a $400 car payment that you got in 2009, adjusting for inflation today that $400 payment is actually costing you $366. I really can never understand...
