I'm very close (as in later today) to pulling the trigger on a '19 Limited 4WD. Out the door price including all fees but excluding tax is $65K even vs $73.6K MSRP and $70.7K invoice (basically $5.7K below invoice, which includes about $4.7K of advertised Ford incentives/rebates).
By my math, I'm guessing the dealer is getting about $2.2K in holdback from Ford (3% of MSRP), of which I'm getting about $1K, leaving the dealer with about $1.2K in profit. While normally I would negotiate for more, I've read that the vast majority of dealers are extremely reluctant to give up holdback $s and this is the only remaining Expedition in my area in the color/option combo I want.
FWIW, i drive about 18-20K miles per year, and plan on having this car for 8+ years (the new Expy is replacing my '12 Limited 4WD with 150K miles).
I welcome any feedback before I head to the dealer!
