Let's see this nice ride (post pics)!

The best deal is the one where you and the dealer are satisfied.

I shopped the entire country a few months ago and got my best deal at Haag Ford in Lawrenceburg, Indiana on a very specific vehicle....4x4 Max, Limited or Platinum, White or Red, and the hardest part...bench seat second row. Most had buckets and I use mine a lot for hauling cargo, so having the ability to have that second row fold nice and flat with no opening between the seats was very important to me. I drove from Louisiana with a 2017 Plat 4x4 (really wanted the gen 4) negotiated over the phone with pictures, and yes, I kept the fact that i had a trade till after I received their best price. There was no B.S. when I got there and they did everything they said they would as well as not trying to give me any "trade not as described" issues. Jim Fuchs was the sales person. Just checked their website Haagfordsales.com and they have a few units that may be of interest to you. BTW, just a member trying to help another member, I have no financial interest.

Haag is pretty close to me and my neighbor bought an f350 and Taurus SHO from them. They didn’t have what I needed though.

The only way to accurately compare prices is to look at the out-the-door cost less TTL (tax, title, and license. Here are my tips for saving some money:

1. Go to the Ford website and search the inventory within say 300 miles of the model and color that you want within say 300 miles. Higher inventory means deeper discounts.

2. Go to a dealer and test drive the model that you want with the features that you want. This way you can buy somewhere else w/o needing to see it in person. I also find negotiations over the phone or email to be easier as well.

3. Ask for a copy of the "Smart Vincent" report. This will show the MSRP, Invoice, Ford Plan, A, D, X, and Z prices. It will also show you all of the active rebates and incentives. They may not want to give you a copy but it is not a secret document. If they don't give it to you, leave.

4. Ask for a price on the model with all of the features that you want with the color that you want from not less than 4 dealers and be sure to get a copy of the Mulroney (window) sticker. Make a spreadsheet to compare the offers because the options will be a bit different.
Subtract the TT&L from the total cost to determine the dealer discount. The rebates should be the same everywhere (sometimes there are regional discounts that do not apply across states).

5. If you don't mind having an "older model? buy just after the next year's model comes out which will give you the deepest discount. Be careful with this however because if you wait too long the model you want may not be available with the color and features that you want.

6. You should target to buy below the Ford A plan although this will be difficult for high demand vehicles. End of season deals or unpopular models should go well below Aplan costs.

would you take this deal?
Its a 2020 Expy Max Limited 4x4 stealth with the tow pkg.
Trade is a 2017 F350 Platinum Ultimate 8' bed 4x4 with 47k.

This one might be easier to see. Is this a good deal?

The $76,508, is that MSRP, or the dealer price? If I build one with your specs on the Ford website, the total comes to $79k. If so, looks like your dealer is putting in approx $3k in dealer discounts + $5k Ford rebates.

Btw, the trim levels affect the Ford Rebate also. Many times XLT models get $9k Ford Rebates, while the higher trim levels don't qualify. So the discount some are getting on XLTs doesn't translate to Limited, KR, or Platinum.

Also, rebates are region based, by zip code. I use https://www.lutesvillemotor.com to check the standard rebates and discounts. Select an expedition of the same trim and package (in your case Limited 303A) and press the Calculate payment button.

I'm also in search of the best deal Expy Limited Max 4x4 8 passenger.

We bought a leftover 2019 Max Platinum with HD tow and buckets in November last year. List was $85K and some change and dealer had it marked down to $78K plus there were several thousand in Ford incentives. If memory serves is was about $16K off in all. We also got 0% for 72 months. I figured I’d never find a better deal and jumped on it even though we were really looking Navigator L Reserve.
