From the fordpartner website, under How It Works/Pricing. You will need your Partner Code to log into the site.

The dealership may also NOT charge separately for document preparation fees, vehicle preparation fees or other administrative services incidental to the delivery of the vehicle on a Partner Recognition Program - X Plan sale.* These expenses are considered to be part of the dealer's normal cost of doing business for which the dealership is compensated by the commission paid.
*Each dealer is responsible for complying with applicable laws or regulations. Dealers may not charge different fees to participants in the Partner Recognition Program.

Thanks. Went on the ford partnership program page and got the info. Having second thoughts about purchasing the vehicle, though, after reading about it in the consumer reports magazine. The reviews were accurate when it said the ford focus is a fun ride as I've experienced when I test drove the vehicle. But, it said it's fuel economy isn't something to boast about. And I believe it after it showed another fun ride with an MPG of around 30, the Honda Civic. Still, I might reconsider if someone can convince me otherwise.

I would agree that the Civic gets better gas mileage and has a higher re-sale value but keep in mind that the Civic will cost quite a bit more than the Focus. I would recommend looking at the Corolla or Elantra as well, the Corolla is due for a re-design next year and prices are starting to go down and the Elantra has a nice warranty and the 06 models are being discounted since the 07's have been re-designed.

I definitely am not getting 30 MPG in my Focus because it is just too much fun to drive it fast!
 
That, plus I do a lot of city driving (stop sign or light every block type of city driving) and here in NJ/PA we have E10 gas which does not get mileage as good as regular gas.
 
Basically it comes down to price - you will probably pay a few thousand more for a Honda but will also probably get it back when you trade it in.

Hey, we are looking at buying a Focus, and have a couple questions...
do you guys know if it is possible to get the $500 rebate through AQHA in addition to A Plan?
 
Also, is A plan the best price, or do you think it's worthwhile to try negotiating?
 
Being it's close to the holidays, do you think the #2500 rebate will go up? I know it went to 3500 over Labor Day, that's why I am wondering if we should wait or just go ahead an buy it.

Negotiating a price by deezwho

Hi,
 I just spoke to a dealer who offered me the following:
2007 Ford Focus SE + Convenience Package + Safety Package + Auto Transmission
MSRP = 17,055
"Invoice" = 16142
2500 Customer Incentive + 500 FMCC Cash + 500 FMCC First Time Buyer Downpayment Match
 
Final price = (16,142 - 3,500) = 12,642 + Tax, Doc
 
Is this the best I can expect to do, or have people been able to get better pricing than this?

you should be able to do better. at least make a counter offer, or get a price from another dealer.

I've seen the Focus go from 4000-6500 off MSRP. They depreciate like hell. A 17000 MSRP model barely wholesales for 10000 after year 1 if that.
 
The 6500 off would be year end (july-sept) sales. You would have to get numerous bids toward the end of the month and work to get it.
 
For a plain jane 4dr se and not to picky on colors/options I would want at least $5000 off.
 
Happy Hunting

I have a trade in value of 10,000 (I owe nothing on it). How long of the back and forth will I have to put up with before I could expect to get an offer of $5,000 of MSRP?
