It has been 6 years ago, but I paid $18k for a nice 2002 XLT F-150 4x4 with the 5.4 with 25k miles in 2005... the media keeps blabbing the used truck market has since tanked.
bump, price and plant. tell your sales guys hes very good at his job. i havent used that trick in a few months!
When gas prices went through the roof and the economy stalled, all the people that wanted a fancier truck than their neighbor dumped them (or had them repo'ed) Now they are not as fashonable as they once were. More people that have them actually need them rather than just want one.
Here's how I look at it. I would have purchased a spray in bedliner regardless and it would have cost me more than $239, so if it is indeed a tactic that the salesman used to push me over the edge, it was a very good one because it is a win-win situation for both parties. They clear a little extra scratch and I save a little extra scratch in the long run because it is something I would have done anyway. If they do it in house, it most certainly won't cost them much. I used to be a shop manager and a spray bedliner cost us roughly $60 in materials and about an hour and a half labor plus the curing time. We sold them for $250+ depending on a couple of factors such as compact or full-size and under or over rail.
