You will also find charges of $100+ for floor mats, $80 for chrome exhaust tips etc. It doesn't matter what they choose to itemize or include as it is the cost out the door that matters. The higher end Crown Victoria stickers around $32000, but they are lucky to move them for $18000, so take MSRP for what its worth also.
Look up the car 1 yr old used 07 on kbb.com or edmunds.com/ The wholesale price of thousands of your car at auction after 12 months and 15000 mi should give a good indication of how close to reality MSRP is.
 
Good luck

I've been out test driving cars to replace my reliable and paid for 1996 Chevy Beretta and went by the local Ford place to check out the Focus and Fusion. I haven't been on a Ford lot in quite a while, but I have been at nearly every other brand, so I was a bit taken aback to find a $60 sticker charge for a spare tire on both the Focus and Fusion. Is this what is has come to, charging for a spare?
I didn't ask, but I'm assuming this is for a full-size spare since there's no way a donut could cost that much.
I'm going back on Monday to drive the Fusion. While it's not really on my short list, I do want to see how it rides. I will say I nearly passed out when I saw an 08 Taurus Limited stickering for 32,700. My how times have changed.

A new 18000+ focus will barely wholesale used for $11000 in 12 months. (Look up the 07 used price on kbb.com or nada.com). Given this they usually sell for about $4000-5000 off msrp for the last 3-4 years. Most plans x-plan etc whether for employees of the manufacturers or otherwise are marketing gimmicks. Many people get better deals exclusive of them. This is in the U.S. Perhaps the canadian wholesale books reflect higher prices and/or the vehicle sells closer to msrp. I've seen some absurd pricing of trucks and suv's in canada.
 
Good luck

08 SES dealer demo by novabuyer

In the Northern VA area; car has std SES equipment + Sirius; car has 3.5K miles, salesman said it was a dealer loaner vehicle. Their "internet price" is 14.4K. The MSRP on a new Focus with the same specs (from competing dealer) was 18.5K.
 
I think I should try to get the vehicle for somewhere around 13K.
 
Should I try for lower, or pass altogether and try for a new vehicle? Thanks.

4000 off msrp has been an average deal on this vehicle for years brand new. Since the car will wholesale used for about $11000 a year from now, 13k or so is probably what you want to be looking at.
 
Good luck

I just got a 2008 SES with antilock brakes and Cirius radio for 14,400 after rebates and incentives. 15,650 out the door after taxes and title and license. I did get a bunch of rebates and incentives. The list price was 16,750 or so. I got 2400 in rebates or so and about a thousand off with the x-plan.

New 2008 Focus SE by agibson95

I purchased my new 2008 Focus SE with Sync yesterday. The MSRP was $17,950 and I traded in my 2004 FreeStar SES with 42000 miles. After the trade the loan difference was $5800. I am happy with the low $119/mo payments for 60 months. I know the trade-in value of my van was $8800 per Kelly's Blue Book. With the rebates, I am curious if I got a good deal. I didnt really need the Sirius radio or the leather wrapped steering wheel, but some of the other feature (Cruise Control) are nice.
 
What do you think about my deal?

Just bought a 2008 Focus S coupe for $10,995 + 4.9% for 60 months. Traded my 2006 Cobalt - could not be more pleased with my purchase/price!

Tell us a little why you swapped the Cobalt for the Focus. I've had both (not the new Focus coupe, of course) and wonder what you saw in the Focus that you didn't already have in the Cobalt. Of course you could just be an inveterate car swapper, like me....
