Just wanted to post here and THANK Jfritsch for his frank advice on this thread. Thanks to you I knew I could push below invoice on the Focus. Just bought a 2007 SE for -4600 off MSRP, -600 off invoice. I know I left money on the table because I didn't want to deal with a scummy dealer that offered -750 off invoice and kept changing his mind. I also bought in the middle of the month. I used the e-mail blast method, e-mailed 27 dealers and got 10 to compete with each other. Did all price negotiation in e-mail and over the phone. Note to Focus buyers: there is a $500 first time buyer down payment match for financing through Ford Credit. (First time buyer means first time financing a car.) This is not advertised anywhere I could find on the internet and dealers aren't supposed to push it, but it exists. I am very pleased. I almost didn't consider the Focus because of the MSRP. I had a great experience and wound up going with the dealer closest to my house, also the nicest one I talked with.

| We just bought a 07 ZX5 SE from Les Stanford Ford (used to be Champion Ford) in Battle Creek, Michigan. OTD price was 14826 with automatic, safety package (ABS & side air bags) & convenience group (cruise & tilt). We didn't get any add ons like extended warranty...just Michigan TTL. We worked with Erika and was very happy...no hassle, quick sale. Price included the X plan & the $2500 discount. We were going to get a Civic LX auto, but when you consider the OTD price on the Civic was 4000 higher, then the Focus is a great deal. | |

Three weeks ago I bought a ZX5 SE Focus for my son at a dealership located close to St. Louis in Missouri. He lives there and I'm in New York. With safety ABS and (side air bags) and convenience packages minus the $2500 cash back was $14700. My kid overpaid $285, according to Edmund's TMV. He also got a two year extended warranty + tax, registration and plates the OTD was $15800. He and I considered Nissan's Sentra, Honda's Civic, Toyota's Corolla and Chevrolet's Cobalt but finally went for the Ford. I wanted him to get the Sedan but he liked the hatchback. The boy is very happy good the acquisition. |

Considering a replacement for my late 01 Focus (total loss), and the $2500 discount really helps. Found a 2007 SES with following options in addtion to the standard stuff: * Automatic trans * Safety package MSRP = $17,510 and with X-Plan less $2500 comes down to $14,071. Car has 16" alloy wheels, pirelli tires, spoiler, abs, etc. Is the X-plan really a good deal..? |
