Went to see the new Ford....

So, today @ lunch I went to see the all new 08 Ford, must say, I like the way they look. MSRP on F250 4x4 short bed was $52K, then I looked at the long bed F250 4x4, and it had a sticker, but it had no price
Anyways, here comes the sales-guy, we talk a little, he asked me what I think and I told him that I like the truck, but can't see the engine under all that plumbing His answer: Oh pleaseeeee....
Then he looked at my truck and says:
Man, this thing looks great, it even has a XM radio - pointing @ my Edge monitor.

OK, long story short, if any of you want to buy new Ford, let me know, I got one of those referral cards worth $250

Are these things getting so expensive they aren't even putting the price on the sticker cause if you have to ask you can't afford it?

No, just a way to keep the demand down for something that they can't supply!

Now if only Ford could get a court order forcing people to buy them, then they would be all set. A friend priced one out online. Holy crap! You'd think that with the bad reputation they have for diesels now that they would practically give them away just to win people back. Then, if they do well, start raising the price.
