#286 of 384 Good deal, so far by ladyblue Jun 15, 2007 (6:38 am)
I just put a deposit on a 2008 XLT. So far, my experience has been the best I've ever had with a dealership. They actually talked me out of buying something I didn't need/want, and came up with ways to save me money. This was at Bell Ford in Colonia, NJ. Delivery is expected in 5-6 weeks, so I'll report back on how that goes.
#287 of 384 Re: 2007 Escape XLS loss leader [scatan] by viss1 Jun 15, 2007 (10:52 am)
Replying to: scatan (May 14, 2007 9:19 pm) Just curious how the $13,999 price was arrived at. I see a $3500 rebate plus $500 manufacturer to dealer cash. Invoice should be $18,965. So invoice minus all rebates/incentives should be $14,965. Where did the other $1K come from? Thanks. Replies to this message: scatan (Jun 19, 2007 7:38 pm)

Replying to: viss1 (Jun 15, 2007 10:52 am) This was a loss leader to get people into the showroom. They had two of these at the time. It was just sold at $13,999 plus TTL with dealer retaining all rebates.

#291 of 384 2008 Mazda Tribute i Sport for $14,999 by saabski Jun 27, 2007 (6:14 am)
Hello All,   I have an offer of 2008 Tribute i sport five-speed for $14,999 (plus TT&L) on the table. This is a titanium gray i sport with optional roof rack with $19,820 MSRP. Is this is a good deal?   Also, why did 2008 Tribute/Escape score so poorly on NTHSA? If the mechanisms are mostly carryover from 2007, it should do much better than 3 stars for driver on frontal crash test.   Any input would be appreciated.

Replying to: saabski (Jun 27, 2007 6:14 am) Tribute and Ford escape have always sold about 6-7000 off MSRP 4-5 months after the new models are out. In my opinion, the interior of the 08's are a definite step backward in quality from the previous years. I want $6000 off now. Don't know about the testing, but with slow sales of other models it seems Ford screwed the pooch with this one too.   --jjf   Hello All,    I have an offer of 2008 Tribute i sport five-speed for $14,999 (plus TT&L) on the table.

#293 of 384 '08 loss leader with price dependent on financing? by bzribee Jul 13, 2007 (12:49 pm)
A local dealer is offering a manual '08 for 16,507 but told me I can only have that price if I finance through Ford. Hmmmm. Can't find THAT disclaimer anywhere. Anyone ever hear of this? I have to check a bit more...   Also, I read that the engine sits higher in the '08. As a short person I'm concerned it'll curb my visibility. Has any short person driven this car?   I'll go check it out tonight. Replies to this message: jfritsch (Jul 13, 2007 1:29 pm)

Replying to: bzribee (Jul 13, 2007 12:49 pm) That appears to be his opening or final offer. He can offer MSRP+$10000+12% financing if he wishes. Find competing offers.   --jjf   A local dealer is offering a manual '08 for 16,507 but told me I can only have that price if I finance through Ford. Hmmmm. Can't find THAT disclaimer anywhere.

#295 of 384 'O8 manual price help by bzribee Jul 15, 2007 (1:49 am)
I'm trying hard to decide what to do. I've got that REALLY good price on the '08 in a color I don't like. The test drive was fine except for a bit of a wobble I noticed as I changed lanes, so I'm going to drive it again. I like the car but if, as is mentioned elsewhere, Ford always keeps rebates at 5-6000 after a few months, maybe there's no rush to buy.   What to do, what to do. Oh, the price is $16,500 for a manual base model...I'd love some advice from all y'all. I don't have to buy now, but the day will come (my car is 252,000 miles).   Is this a price I can't refuse?
