I did see the past posts regarding the brake dust and will surely point it out when i return to the dealer on monday. Thanks for the tip on the build date as well. My 15000 is a reach i know, but with 3 model 04's still sitting within his fences on the property, and the same 05's sitting there that were present a month ago, i thought why not shoot for the stars and take advantage of an obvious slow time and hopefully get him to edge closer to the 12,500 or 13,000 discount. With the news today that gas prices in our region are to be expected to rise to $2.50 a gallon for the summer, and with record losses for Ford it is certainly a buyer's market. Oh, one other thing, when i test drove this vehicle, the engine was loud, and i recently read an article that expanded on the new engine for 05 and that ford has "cast adrift" the 04 engine, i wandered if i might just want to stay away from the 04's obvious shortcomings that would lead them to change the engine? Thoughts? Thanks again.

For reference, those Expy EB's would be $41,185 MSRP, $36,352 X-Plan ($4833 off), $35,490 Ad Price ($5695 off), and $34,810 A/Z Plan ($6375 off). At $5695 discount, that should be a few hundred back of invoice, so not a bad deal... |

Well, I just decided to go with the 05 Expi since the 06 Explorer (by looking at the Mountanier for 06) did not do much for me....I am NJ...and the deal that I got on EB 2005 Expi is $5k down and $325/monthly...the sticker price is $46280 and it has plenty of extra goodies....I will report how much off I got from sticker (my dealer always gives me invoice plus $100)...beside the $3500 in rebates...sounded pretty good to me....I am seeing them tomorrow and pick up the EXPI....

| Thanks for the info....I got an EXPI 2005 EB fully loaded sticker was $46280 (no dvd,no navigation)...my dealer gave me $41,200 (what I consider just invoice) and then $3500 from Ford rebates..with all due respect I can not imagine any dealer givin $6k below invoice....I actually got $3500 below the selling price,which in my case was below invoice....this dealer (a very large one) and I have done business with for the last 10 years...and I believe thay treat me fairly no gimmicks...i must clarify my previous post.....the $5k was in addition to the $8k for my trade in..if I had not put down an additional $5k then the payments would have been about $478,which is what I had calculated before I went there instead of $307 which is what I got now....it was a better deal to put down the additional $5k since the bank is only paying about 1.5% interest...and after calculating the additional $171 in monthly payments it would have cost me $6156..that is 20% more...am I making sense?.......i hope this helps others... | |

I bought my 2002 Explorer with the X-Plan. Good price, happy with the deal. But that was then. Now I'm buying a 2005 Expedition. Would like the EB but can't quite afford the prices they're quoting. So will probably get an XLT Sport. I live in the Inland Empire just east of Los Angeles. I had one dealer quote me a good price in the parking lot but not be able to do it when it's dealtime inside with the jerky finance guy. It was a 2005 EB Expedition priced at $43,500 on the window. The salesguy said they could do it for $34,500 but then his closer dealmaker guy couldn't come through with it. He actually laughed at us! So we walked away. I didn't use X-plan for that deal - I mentioned it but he scoffed and said it would be a better deal without. However, I get skeptical when dealers scoff. X-plan is 11.5% off the window sticker for 2005 Expy's and then any incentives can be added to that. However, the only good one I'm seeing is the $1,000 cash back with 1.9% FMCC financing for 60 months. The other one, the $2,500 incentive, means that I'd get a higher interest rate and it would cost more than the $2,500 incentive. Thanks! I'm trying to buy this week. Also - are some dealers better with X-Plan than others? I loved my first X-Plan salesguy. He's far from my current home - an hour's drive - but I'm thinking about going back to him anyway. He ordered my Explorer as a dealer trade all the way from San Diego - 100 miles away! Thanks!

Replying to: lagirl99 (Apr 17, 2005 9:44 am) They also have one just like it, a demo..with navigation and sunroof...It has 4K miles on it..I plan on offering them the same deal, 33K...with those extra options I would think that deal is about equal, I dont see many people paying more for a car with 4K more miles.....what do you think? Also anyone know if you can take out the 6 disc radio and put in the navigation radio? Or are there other hookups needed? I did this on my 04 chevy and it works....

All I can say that,from I have learned, is that when one gets a 10-12% off sticker, one is in invoice territory. In my case my 05EB had a sticker of $46280 and the invoice shown to me (I trust the gm at this dealer since I been going to him for the past 10 years) read $41245 then $3500 in rebates. This is a brand new unit no mileage, but then I am in NJ and can't speak about other parts of the country. My advise is to get the best deal you can and maybe try to get a good rate for a loan ouside of FORD...sometimes we can't beat FORD rates...some other the dealer refuses to give a lower unit price unless you finance through them, which could be ok...who cares if they get a commision if your rate is good (even if 1/4% higher than FORD).....be open to all offers and nost important be as informed as possible...as they say "knowledge is power".....good luck gys... |
