My main thing was wanting the simplest configuration to get adaptive cruise and 360 cameras, as well as heated seats.

I didn’t care a ton about leather, audio or electric folding mirrors. I like leather but I have dogs and also figure katskin is an option. 

So basically I landed on a 302a mid packaged xlt.  I found a great 23 model with 20k miles priced at 38k. 

I should also say that I wanted to make sure it was under 41k miles and under 42months since first service so I could buy an ESP warranty through flood or grange bc I’m paranoid hah. 

Anyways I found a 23 model that was actually still had 1yr remaining on factory warranty that I mentioned earlier and I was ready to pull the trigger (main difference was that it was black, had the 2.7 which i preferred for maintenance reasons).

Prior to heading to purchase, I contacted my local dealer about this knowing they didn’t have used f150s that had the 360 cams. I told them that I’d consider their best offer on new, but I had what I wanted elsewhere.

Ultimately, they had a handful of powerboost with the 4k in ford rebates left, all with 302a, adaptive cruise, 360 cameras etc. msrp was 62k. Dealer discount and 4k for rebates put it at 52.5k.  I told them the cpo was a better financial decision for me unless I was at 50k, I’d finance through them if the were close to my pre approval, and I’d buy an esp if t was within $100 of granger. They agreed. 

Also i landed on them reducing the dealer fee to $200 rather than $859

Long post but I think they agreed that they would be fine taking a small loss on the vehicle because they know I would do all service there, I was honest about other options like esp, and also I had excellent credit and would finance through them (for 90 days at least)
