| You're not going to do better than A plan no matter how many you buy. A plan skims it to the bone for the dealer - you know they still need to have abuilding, and employees, and a service center for you to bring your vehciles to. there is a lot of overhead to account for. They aren't going to cut below what they paid for the vehicles. Can you buy more than one A plan unit a year? X plan is one per year. | |

| Hello..I'm new to this board. My question is: I visited a local Ford dealership (Warner Robins, GA--south of Macon) and I am interested in buying an '05 Ford Expedition. I'm not familiar w/ the Z plan but my grandfather (who retired w/ 30 years w/ Ford) told me I'm eligible to use this. My question is what amount of a discount is this and can it also be used in conjunction w/ rebates? Also, when using this plan is their any kind of bargaining/negotiating for a lower price that can be done or is the price set? Thanks in advance for your help. | |
| Getting close to making an offer, visited dealership today, they have 8 Exp's on the lot. I have watched them, none have moved for 1 month. The Expy EB I'm looking at was built in 12/04 according to door tag. I did not make offer, just asked what price would look like with x-plan & then the rebate. The total MSRP is 50580, has everything except a kitchen sink. They said 44396 with x-plan, then 5000 rebate, bringing the vehicle to 39396 + tax & fees. I just noticed as writing this, the fees, will have to ask about that. They were looking for me to counter, but I'm waiting to see what you all have to say here. They were eager to hear a counter offer, I do not plan on trading anything in. I asked what kind of financing Ford could do for me as well, they said local banks could provide the financing thru the dealership. Curious to hear from you all. | |

| With X plan you shouldn't be charged advertising fees and other dealer related fees, but you will still need to pay alll the DMV fees. | |

The negotiating was too easy, so I can't help but wonder.... MSRP/Sticker (incl freight): $44,215 Less Special Allowance: $ 7,270 +Proc. charge: $ 100 ------------ Cash Sale Price: $37,045 Less Rebate: $ 5,000 Less Trade*: $ 5,168 Plus Tax/tags: $2123.25 *Trade started at $4K. Gave them my bottom line: $29K and I drove away in a very nicely equipped Expedition. Total negotiation time about 10 minutes and pain free. Excellent salesman and there was no pressure from the others in the dealership. That in itself made the buying experience well worth the price, but always like to make sure.

I have a couple of questions for you pros... I'm looking to buy EITHER an expedition or Tahoe (I think both are good trucks and whichever is cheaper is the one to get for me). 1) I live in Phoenix where there is no less than 15 dealers. Are larger dealers better or worse to buy from (regarding price). 2) Is there a specific model that is a better bargain (xlt, eb, etc.)? 3) If the sticker is $42K, what should a guy offer. I have no issues walking away, I'm in no hurry to buy it but would like to know what your thoughts are. Since TT&L is difffernt everywhere I do not want to include this in the example. 4) Do certain colors warrant a bigger discount? 5) does a dealer care if I finance it vs. pay cash? I know there is some incentives for financing but assuming there wasn't do they care? Any/All help is appreciated. Dan

Replying to: daericks (Jul 09, 2005 2:36 am) These vehicles (Eddie Bauers stickered at 41-42k) could be had in Southern California all day long for $28,995.00. This is using the rebates in leiu of the special financing. Figure it both ways - you are usually better off to take the rebates. I know of at least THREE DEALERS selling them for that. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WAS BEFORE FORD'S FAMILY PROGRAM STARTED.  Get your own financing BEFORE YOU VISIT THE DEALERSHIP, you can ask the dealership to beat whatever rate you qualified for elsewhere. Remember, stay in control of the selling process, you are the boss. If you wish to buy an extended warranty, they can be had MUCH CHEAPER on the net. (www.fordwarrantys.com & www.fordwarranty.com) And elsewhere. Good luck! |

The market here must be MUCH different there in So Cal -- it may be worth the trip for me to get a one way ticket out there and drive back. I offered $30K on an Eddie Bauer yesterday here at Earnhardt dealership and the sales guy wouldn't even bring the offer to his manager (closer). This is AFTER the new employee pricing thing. The guy told me that would be $3,000 under their cost and that if I could get one for $30K to let him know where and they would buy them from the dealer. I'm sure you have all heard that one before... What dealers did you deal with-- LA or San Diego?
