@RideZX6R - congrats on the new ride and welcome officially to the club!
Hopefully you got a sweet deal on your new 2018 "leftover" as my dealer is definitely trying to "move" their two (2) remaining F150 PS Diesels. Last time I visited my dealer, they had a Black 2018 F150 Diesel Platinum prominently displayed on the floor with a "$9500 Off" sign hanging from the mirror -- kinda kicking myself for not just waiting until now, instead of being my dealership's first F150 PS Diesel order.
Instead my first-in-line factory order got me:
a.) 7 1/2 month wait
b.) $3000 engine markup (this still remains for 2019 but markdowns chew into this)
c.) Missed out on a generic $2000 off any F150 cash offer in Ford Pass app (F150 Diesels specifically excluded)
so I overpaid and had to wait in order to get to be a "1st adopter", along with the scare of the infamous FSA 18E02 EGR By-Pass Valve replacement...
Overall I am still happy with my truck, but I could have probably gotten a 2018 leftover in
similar trim level for $10K less than I paid 8 months ago; however, I would have had to settle for what the dealer ordered for the vehicle. I have factory-order my last two (2) F150s and have gotten spoiled now in doing that...
Oh and BTW, the pattern is now empty...
