Replying to: nweiler (Aug 09, 2005 2:54 pm) 20 yrs old had credit since I was 18 and a 753 credit score, Not that it matters though because this if my first major purpose. I went to my local Ford dealer alone to see how this whole negotiating process goes and ended up negotiating a ZX3(base 5-speed, a/c, side curtain air bags and abs) with a final price of 17,614 w/tax/licencing first offer was $276  72 months with $1000 down 9% APR. I laughed and nearly walked out. He offered me a ZX3 with power everything, automatic, alloy rims and abs; However, it lacked Side impact airbags which I really wanted. After a bit more negotiating and some of the rebate offers applied, the price lowered to $12,165. Since I never was going to actually buy it I said thanks and started to walk to my car. When I was leaving he offered me payments of $232 72 months and AR of 7.1%. After reading all this, I think I could have negotiated a bit lower and maybe asked for a lower interest rate. Also as a side note, The original ZX3 I looked att he bare s model, was at a dealers special price of around $10.5k but since I wasn't really there to buy I didn't bring the ad and when I asked to see it, they said they would need to see the ad. The car in the ad was maroon and the only ZX3 there was maroon so perhaps I could have just started everything at that price. I'm really certain I'll be purchasing a focus but perhaps I should hurry before the new 08 comes around and takes away all the rebates. I'll be buying the car in 2 months so should I start submiting internet offers now or later? |

Replying to: lee_w (May 12, 2004 8:56 am) Purchased from Golf Mill Ford in Niles, IL. This is apparently the largest Ford dealership in Illinois, and their salespeople are typical of car salesmen in that they use high pressure tactics. Would not recommend. However this was the only dealership in the area that had 5-speed Focuses that were not bare bones or fully optioned.

Am being offered 16.5k OTD on a 07 zx4 st. This includes x-plan plus ford rebate 2500. Dealer says he cannot go below x plan pricing and refuses to negotiate further. Is this fair price? MSRP 18900 with installed 6disc cd plus traction control plus heated seats. Michigan sales tax is 6%. Is this a good deal or is it wiser to pick up an 05 with 30K miles, certfied used for 14k OTD??? Is it true that they cannot go below x plan?
