#266 of 304 Help with purchase of Ford Focus by mmcm1886 Jul 21, 2008 (7:06 am)
Hello,   I want to purchase a 2008 Ford Focus SE with automatic transmission in vermillion red, charcoal black cloth interior with ABS, Sync and Sirius radio.   Thanks for the previous information regarding getting email quotes, I plan on following this advice. The standard vehicle price MSRP is $15,585 on this vehicle. The charges for the options that I want in addition are roughly $815 for automatic, $385 for ABS, $395 for Sync, plus $195 for the Sirius.   Could anyone give me an idea of what rock bottom price I should be shooting for on this vehicle including dealer fees?

Replying to: mmcm1886 (Jul 21, 2008 7:06 am) A well optioned 08 Focus Ses or equivalent, msrp 18500 or so barely has a trade in value (07) used of 11000. (look up a used 07 on kbb.com) This is what your new 08 will be worth in 12 months. A useful target on a loaded one is about 13000+ or less. A base with auto around 11000 or less. 5000+ off msrp has not been uncommon on the Focus in the late summer for the last few years. At these price levels the Focus may be far more attractive than a Hyundai accent, chev Aveo, kia rio, etc, with good mpg, however no hatchback is available.   If you can't get near 5000 off msrp ( and you should) the mazda3 s touring value editon sedan and its other models then become far more attractive. The mazda6 i sport value editon 4cyl msrp 21200 is frequently available in the low 16s and is good.   Also some have been successful in getting the 09 Hyundai 4cyl sonata (20000 msrp) in the high 15000 range, and the 08 Elantra in the high 12000 range. (usually in CA or NY area). Hyundai has a helluva warranty, these vehicles are higher quality,and should be explored before settling on a Focus unless lots off.   good luck --jjf   Hello,    I want to purchase a 2008 Ford Focus SE with automatic transmission in vermillion red, charcoal black cloth interior with ABS, Sync and Sirius radio.    Thanks for the previous information regarding getting email quotes, I plan on following this advice.

Replying to: jfritsch (Jul 21, 2008 8:18 am) Sorry to be redundant, but after looking at the prices in the dealships, this is really surprising, yet wonderful. Am I to hope to be able to attain this price of $13,000+ out the door, including all tax, title, destination, fees? I am assumimg this figure also takes into account the $1500 in Ford incentives currently available, or is this in addition? Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Jul 21, 2008 10:23 am)

Replying to: mmcm1886 (Jul 21, 2008 9:58 am) No, he was indicating you could shoot for $5000 +/- off MSRP...that would include destination, but not sales tax or title and license fees, which vary a lot by jurisdiction.

Replying to: jfritsch (Jul 21, 2008 8:18 am) These are all prices inclluding dealer fees exclusive of tax and title. ttl can vary from 100 to $1600 depending on what state and county you are in.

Replying to: lee_w (May 12, 2004 8:56 am) I just bought 2008 focus se sedan for 12998 after ford rebate(s). options are auto,drivers package, sync. black on black. dealer was perry ford poway. I worked backwards. didn't test drive until just before signing final paperwork. got up to leave a few times. I started by asking the salesman if I could get the car for 14K. he said no. I told him I could get a corolla for 15k so a focus would need to be cheaper. this dealer runs a huge ad every friday in the paper. this weeks was a coupe with auto, drivers package, sync, and abs for 11998. I wanted those options in a sedan and didn't really value any other options. the car I bought is missing abs. we sent to the sales manager and I was given the price of 12998. we didn't not talk trade at all until after that price was given. then I got them to give me more for my trade.

Replying to: gerrickd (Jul 27, 2008 10:55 am) Is 12998 a OTD price with tax, tags and fees? Thanks Replies to this message: gerrickd (Jul 28, 2008 1:23 pm)

#274 of 304 Need Help with Pricing by kneedsacar Jul 29, 2008 (1:23 pm)
Hello,    I was quoted on a 2008 Ford Focus SE Sedan with Auto Transmission. It has ABS, Sync, Driver's Package, Ambient Lighting, and all the options that come standard with the SE. The dealership said the MRSP on the car is 18,175 but that they would sell it for $15,308. I do not believe this includes taxes but does include the destination charges. Do you think this is a fair price?? I am looking to lease for 36 months, 12,000 miles a year so if anyone knew the residual and money factor on this car that would be great. Thanks!   KNeedsACar Replies to this message: matsukes (Jul 29, 2008 1:41 pm) weihao (Jul 30, 2008 5:32 pm) matsukes (Jul 30, 2008 5:46 pm) polaris8 (Aug 01, 2008 6:27 am) polaris8 (Aug 01, 2008 2:19 pm)
