As anywhere, 4x2 are rare. You probably wont' find one on a lot, not unless
you're lucky.
Oregon doesn't have sales tax, so remember this if buying one here and
trying to register it in another state. That state my want the tax.

4x2 supercab diesel SRW Lariat F-350s are next to impossible to find.

I currently live in WA but will be moving away soon. I plan on paying
the appropriate taxes and license fees of my adopted state for this
vehicle. I see no reason to pay 11%+ taxes when I'm in the process
of moving away.

BTW, you didn't give the name of a reputable dealer....

Does Ford have a "vehicle locator" function on their web site like
GM/Chevy does? On the GM site, you plug in your desired vehicle and a
location, it searches dealer inventories within a certain distance
from your stated location...

We bought a 2000 F250 4x4 Lariat from Damerow Beaverton Ford (15 miles
west of downtown Portland) in July 2000. At the time, they were just
being aquired by Thomason Auto Group (not my favorite corporation) but
we looked anyway. We discovered there was an Internet Sales division
but they sold to us one-on-one, didn't use the internet at all. We
weren't doing a factory order as they has what we wanted on the lot.

They were charging 4% over invoice and wouldn't budge. Amazingly, we
had a pretty good expierience, other than I really wanted to pay no
more than 3% over invoice (These trucks were really hot, nobody we
talked to would sell for that price)

I've heard nothing but horror stories from friends that went to
Vancouver Ford (Vancouver Washington is just north of Portland).

We also looked at Courtesy Ford on SE 122nd Ave. Liked the store, but
Damerow (internet sales Dept.) offered a "no dicker" price that was
better.

Good luck!

Thanks. I've never heard anything good about Thomason. You've
confirmed it.

Sort of. You have to search dealer by dealer based upon the
zip code you entered.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Really? Bought my truck there, and was treated right. Had the thing in a few
times to fix what the factory didn't get the first time, but all in all, a
positive experience, after having to deal with Hannah. Seriously, stay away
from Dick Hannah, especially if buying used.

render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions
as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound

Reputable Dealer? Isn't that a oxymoron? Anyway, I haven't bought a new
truck in 10 years, and the last one I did was in North Dakota, so I have no
preferences to give you. Kendall auto group is a large dealer here with a
Chevy store, Chrysler, Honda, and Ford. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.kendallauto.com/index.asp" target="_blank">http://www.kendallauto.com/index.asp</a>
about months ago they had a 2000 2x4 4-door F-350 with 40K, wanted 25k for
it. I was tempted but can't handle the payments at this time. the dealer
said that for the 2wd they usually take you name and call when one comes in.
the new production numbers for 2wd are only about 3% or less of the total
made.

In Oregon, no

In Washington (not that far) yes, Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent and
Covington. Since they give their prices on the Net you can check before
you even call. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.bowenscarff.com" target="_blank">http://www.bowenscarff.com</a>

Looks like they don't have what you want, the do have it in a 4wd
though. for ~$34K

We have had them "order in" before, on the Taurus they were ~$2K below
the best price we could get for the same car from any other dealer

4x4 won't work. It's 3 inches taller and may not fit in the garage.
WA won't work as I'm moving out of WA and it would be stupid
to pay the 10 - 11% tax and license.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Yes WA -will- work, if you are not a resident you will not pay the
taxes, if you are, you will. Even if you buy the truck in Oregon. Trust
me the dealers there will not help you "defraud" WA (until -after- you
move, then they will not care)

Let's see. I state "I am moving out of WA". Is there something you
don't understand about this? I've researched the WA state laws. If
I buy the truck in WA after I change my legal address, they will still
demand an 8.8% sales tax. Given a choice between that and paying
a 3% tax to my new adopted state why would I do anything else? Why
would you think that this is fraud?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
