Bought a new truck four years ago. Looked at three big ones on line, and decided on Chevy-GMC. 3/4, Duramax- Allison. Priced build out on Chevy website, with options I was interested in. Went thru Chevy dealers in 100 mile radius to look at inventory. THEN- I went to edmunds.com, and got the high-low-average sale amounts. That gave me an idea of what these guys were gonna ask. Here's where the fun came in. I typed in four of the local dealers. I got emails from two in just a few hours. Then I got a call from one. One of the emails was from an old school friend. The phone call was from a dealer in Aberdeen, fairly local. Sales girl happened to be the owners daughter. She had a truck I'd looked at, and faxed the window sticker. She also worked up a bottom line price and sent it over. I went back into the web, and found out the truck was at a dealer's place in Delaware. I called the old school buddy, and he sent me a price on the same truck from his dealer. Just for fun, I called the other two dealers, and asked them for a quote. One tried to sell me another truck with more bells and whistles, and the other one tried to talk me into a gas job because they had it in stock. Old bud's price was $1500 more than the original price I got in Aberdeen, and I told him it was. He went back to his bosses, and talked to them, and they told him that was as low as he could go. He told me that the original bid I had was bogus, and had to be come-on. It wasn't. Bottom line- I got a $43k truck for something less than $29k. Dealer was great. Owner was in the showroom every day. Big smile on his face, old southern boy. Truck was delivered the next day, on a handshake because I had to get the money out of a stock account. He got the check for the truck about a week later. But, I never left the house, and had these big dealers and salesmen falling over themselves to sell me a truck at the lowest price I was going to get. Neighbor tried the same stunt, and went with the bells and whistles dealer, but wound up with an '06 leftover for about the same price, but didn't realize it until he picked it up. Price actually fell in a couple of hundred below edmund's low price. So use the internet some, and you may have some laughs at the expense of a car salesman, and get a pretty good deal on top of it.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
