Thanks for the responses guys.
After looking at a new bedroom set at the furniture store Sat. afternoon, the boss wanted to drive thru the local car lots. Found a 2017 Dark Blue Chevy 2500 Duramax for $69K. Salesman said that Chevy's special pricing didn't apply the 3/4 trucks.
Drove over to the GMC dealer...Nuthin'! Down the road we turned into the Ford Dealer, turned the corner and there she was! A 2017Dark blue F250 Lariat 4x4 Shortbox with a 6.7L Power Stroke. Sticker said $63k. It was a little chilly so the boss sat in the truck as the sales guy made his way to us. After the usual small talk he asked if I was interested. Not for $63k! He said that since we saw the truck "on line" he could knock the price down to $56k...NOW we're talkin. Talked it over with the better half and we took it for a little drive. Loved it so we decided to talk numbers. Ended up at $42K after negotiating trade of my '08 K1500 crew and I keep the topper. DONE DEAL! I even talked them into a spray in bed liner, clear bra on the hood and 1/2 price on the Platinum maintenance package which extends the warranty to 7yrs and includes 15 oil changes @$125/ea. Was not even thinking new truck let alone a Diesel, but basically got the Diesel for the gas price. I've always been a Chevy guy, but for the difference in price I'll give Ford a try! $13k difference isn't something to sneeze at. I wish I knew how to post a picture as she is a great looking truck!
You guys have been a really big help...THANKS AGAIN!
