I have no clue, but after seeing the numbers yesterday where Toyota is eating the lunch of Ford and GM, I'm guessing they will have to come up with something good.
 
As long as Ford and GM insist on keeping their silly MSRP levels where they are, then you will continue to see ads in the paper that read $4,000 - $12,000 off MSRP.
 
SUV's have the biggest mark downs these days from what I see in print ads.

I wish we could get some more people here. I see the Mountaineer everywhere and yet limited info. My wife wants the Pilot and there is more than enough on that forum.

I have a 2000 Mountaineer by macmikey

And I really like it. Not sure if I want a newer one as they look a bit boxy. The only problems I have had with mine is 2 recent trips to Ford for replacement of the rear clutches. 2nd time seems to have worked... so far. One other problem, I think plagues most Ford owners, is the radio display now fades in and out and sometimes goes away completely.
 
Other than that, it is a 5.0l all-wheel drive, has a special trim package...Monterey, rides nice, gets around 15MPG average, and I just really like it.

Well....we went with the Pilot and to be honest, I am glad we did. We really liked the Mountaineer and we were ready to close the deal but it fell through. Good Luck.

I hope you do not mind me asking but what were the numbers they gave you? As I said before everyone seems to be buying these and there are no lease numbers to compare.

X-Plan or negotiation? by jimjpsc

Hi-
 
I was able to obtain an X-Plan PIN through my wife's employer and wondered if I was better going in with that or first trying for the best deal. I will be looking for a 2007 Explorer. Any thoughts are welcome.
 
Thanks

can't speak for Ford's x-plan, but I have used family pricing from GM and it was pretty much like going through Costco. A nice hagle free price but nothing to write home about. There are always price leaders in the paper that are better.
 
My opinion is that you can work a better deal if you have some flexibility in what you want and time it right, like the last day of the quarter or month on a car that isn't moving real well e.g. the Ford Explorer.

0% financing for 6 years by aspesisteve

anyone have an idea what impact the 0% offer will have on negiating the price of a new Ford?
 
usually an add will read 'Cash back OR 0% financing' but not both. Although I've seen Subaru affer pretty good discounts in addition to the 0% rate.
