#60 of 361 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION by huntley May 09, 2006 (9:45 am)
Cargirl ... I got the Focus with the auto transmission.   Initially I was going to purchase a Dodge Caliber. I was reluctant because 1.) It's a first-year model, 2.) the Focus handled better, and 3.) a Calibar similarly equipped would have been around $20,000 (full MSRP . . no deals). The reasonable price of the Focus (invoce + rebates), along with superb handling and a fun-to-drive factor won me over. My only regret is that I love the styling of the Caliber and think it's a much more interesting looking vehicle. Maybe next time around.

Replying to: huntley (May 03, 2006 7:03 am) I wanna make sure I understand this. The price of the car was $15100 before the rebates? So how much did the final cost come to including all the fees and such? How was the price brought down to $15100 in the first place? I'm just curious because I plan on buying a new ZX3 at the end of the month.   Thanks! Replies to this message: explorerx4 (May 10, 2006 2:26 pm)

Replying to: hunnydew (May 10, 2006 7:46 am) a local dealer has an ad for a focus 4dr msrp 17,2xx, offered price 13,180. you can go to forddirect.com browse inventory, plus see the window stickers and invoice amount. it's a good resource.
#63 of 361 PRICE OF FOCUS by huntley May 11, 2006 (8:05 am)
Hunnydew . . . I found the car on-line at forddirect.com from a local dealer. You can see the actual sticker price at that site. I looked for the best Focus I could find with the most options. Heated seats were a must. I liked the ST the most but it didn't offer auto transmission, so I settled for a ZX4 SES instead. The MSRP was $19,380. I got the invoice price from Edmunds. Then I deducted $3000 in rebates, went to the dealer, showed him my paperwork, and acted undecided. This was one of several vehicles I would have settled for (Mazda3, Dodge Caliber, Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan). The dealer called me back 3 days later and agreed to the price. $15,100 was the out-the-door price (invoice plus $3000 in rebates.) I also did financing which gave me another $500 off. So the actual price is less than $15,000. That price is unbeatable for what I got. Replies to this message: explorerx4 (May 11, 2006 3:37 pm) hunnydew (May 12, 2006 7:30 am)

Replying to: huntley (May 11, 2006 8:05 am) edmunds 'invoice' is lower than ford's 'invoice', so it sounds worth giving a try. either way, you can get a great deal. it's a good car, there is just some low budget stuff on it. otoh, you can get some great features too.

Replying to: huntley (May 11, 2006 8:05 am) Oh wow, what a deal you got! Thanks for explaining it for me. I've browsed the dealer inventory online before, but out of 30 ZX3s only 1 has ABS and it's white (ewww) and a little out of my price range. Gotta have the ABS so I'll have to wait for the '07 to roll out.   I actually already own a 2000 Focus ZX3 and *love* it. Just want to get a newer one now. Great little car, I'd reccomend it to anyone (I try to convince everyone to buy one).
#66 of 361 Manual ZX5 SE by ahmadr May 16, 2006 (9:39 pm)
I just got a black ZX5 SE manual, with the safety, convenience, and sport packages and 6-cd changer for 16500 - 3500 = 13000. I would have preferred a SES with just the safety package, and probably another color, but none were available anywhere near Houston.   MSRP was 17170 + 545. Invoice was 16666 according to dealer, and 16448 according to edmunds. edmunds TMV was 16885. Rebates were 2500 general + 500 matching downpayment + 500 grad student.
#67 of 361 06 SES -GREAT BUYING EXPERIENCE by kam108 May 18, 2006 (5:08 am)
We just purchased an SES with moonroof, safety pkg, automatic. After deciding which model/features we wanted, I used Edmunds site to find the TMV, and then asked for dealer quotes thru Edmunds. What a wonderful buying experience! Most of the dealers called, a few gave me quotes online. And unfortunately a couple wouldn't give a quote without me coming in! One of the dealers internet sales persons(Northland Ford in Zelie, Pa) found the exact match for the car I wanted(she searched 2100 dealers). She quoted me a price of $14,018 after rebates. The rebates were $3000. Plus she gave me an internet coupon for another $100 off! this made the price $802 under Edmunds TMV price! The dealer she worked for happened to be the closest dealer to us. The car she located was from a different dealer, so they transported the car to the local dealer the next day, and we went in to sign papers and pick up the car. I am very happy with the car and what we paid for it!
