Try Dave Scott at Claremont Toyota. He is the G.M. The owner owns Claremont Ford next door as well. Tell Dave that Tab sent you. Normally Dave will make a call over to the Ford store and introduce you to someone in the fleet department. Be sure you inquire re the "FLEET PRICE". That is an amount greater than dealer invoice. It generally is not more than $500-$750 over invoice unless the vehicle is rare. If you get a fleet price quote in that range then head on down there, pick out your truck, have them put the invoice on the desk and write a check. No hassle. They, as all auto dealers, will to sell you scotchguard, undercoating, extended warranty, etc. You decide on that stuff. Good luck. Tab

Try Gerard Batista at Chino Hills Ford, he's the fleet manager. May sound strange but he's the uncle of my best friend. Took care of my wife and I when we bought her 03 Mustang.
Tell him Chris and Carrie Mock sent you and we all know James Monks, that's his nephew. Can't promise anything but he took care of us. Good luck.

Remember that even if they sold it to you for invoice..they still make money. Don't forget that.
If it were me, I'd shop it online first for a ballpark number.

Talk to Chris Pratt at Rancho Ford in Temecula. He is the Commercial Fleet Manager there and we just had great buying experience through him three weeks ago when we purchased our '04 F350. Few hundred over invoice, no hassle, no talking with sales people who don't know shit about trucks. I will always go through fleet sales to purchase my next vehicles.

Got a costco card? Check them out. Thier program uses fleet managers from local dealers. Fiat is right. Even at invoice the still make money. They get money back based on sales and are given an allowance for "floor costs".

Try G.R. Hodges ( Fleet Manager ) at Fairway Ford in Placentia. He is really good friends with Bre's Grandmother. We have bought all of our cars from him, as my dad has also. Mention Andy and Breanna Cook or Barbara Dranginis ( Bre's Grandmother ). He will get you the lowest price possible with no BS. Good luck.

Thanks for all the names guys I just came back from my bank holding a pre approval letter for $50k so now its time to make these guys work for my mulla.
I did stop by my local dealer and the fleet guy pulled out his invoice book in front of me and gave me a price $400 over and told me I would get $3k back if I went with my own financing thats why I went to my bank, got 1/4 better than Ford was giving:D
Anyhow sticker is $51,565 the invoice he showed me said $45,965 then $3k off left me sitting at $42,931 Sounds good so far but Im going to make a few calls and see if theres anything better. What do you think about this deal?

Looks like Chris Pratt is going to be the guy! He is also the only one that has returned my call. Smoken deal and no hasles and I can order my truck without the presures of having to buy right now.
Thanks for all the referals guys.
