you could look into refinancing the ford credit loan after a few months.
many banks/credit unions will refinance at new car rates.

I am looking for a Focus SE and the MSRP with the options is $19245. The price I am quoted before tax, title, and fee is $17779 in Virginia.
 
I also have the $500 College rebate and the $1500 Drive the Difference.
 
What do you think?

09 Focus SE coupe/ Automatic by essiem

I'm just starting my research on purchasing an 09 Focus SE coupe - with Auto Transmission + the ABS option - and I want the dealer to throw in the floor mats and cargo mat for free. I'm a current Ford driver, and my family has bought 4 cars from the same dealer over the past 22 years, so ideally I can use that as leverage. My current car is a 1990 Probe - less thank 50K on it. I will be paying cash - what is a good OTD price for the NYC/Long Island area?

Don't know how it would be in your area but I've gotten several quotes for an 09 SE auto w/ cruise control. That just seems to be how they are equipped around the Tulsa, Ok area. Best price so far is $14749 on the SE, and $15558 on an SES Auto. This is after $2500 in rebates assuming the $500 rebate using ford credit also. I was hoping for about $14500 on the SE which would be in line with Edmunds TMV, and about $15100 on the SES.

The Focus has been about a $5000 off MSRP car in summer for numerous years. If you are in an area where they Hyundai Elantra can be had for close to $4000 off MSRP, that would be a better car and deal.
 
Car prices have been jacked up recently because of the $3500-$4500 cash for clunkers vouchers from the govt. This may last a few months.
 
Good luck

It's been a long while since I bought a new car, and I just paid MSRP on a 2010, to which the dealer added another $321, listed in "dealer installed equipment" which he called a dealer fee. He stated it was for performing paperwork like "lien release".
This is something I've never heard of, is that really something that's done for a new car? Or is this just the new way for the dealer to put the usual "ADP"?
This dealer did some really creative things with the invoice, which I had mostly corrected, and this dealer fee still remained.
It seems the old car sales practices that kept me from buying new are still alive and kicking at some places.. I have to admit it was quite an unpleasant experience, being as unprepared as I was walking into the Ford dealership. My fault in being sucked in by the C4C program deadline.

Yes, these "document fees" are pretty standard. The amount varies by market. I just look at it as they are realy just giving a lower discount than claimed, though that does not work in your case.
 
In my area the fee is much more modest, typically $99-129. I've read of fees as high as $500-600 in some markets.
 
I hope you at least got the $2000-3000 rebates on your new Focus (or were those only on the '09?).

Thanks for the info- I really didn't think that add on fee was really on the level, but it's good to know it's not unheard of-
 
No rebates at all- there was a tristate ford rebate for the 2010 that I saw listed online for 1000, but this dealer didn't seen to know anything about it, and I didn't see it on the ford website, so maybe it was outdated or in error.
