#21 of 1042 a not so good experience. by twizard27 Dec 04, 2004 (10:33 pm)
Today I went shopping for a new '04 Mustang to see what deals are out there. I went to one dealer in the Orlando, FL area that had a gigantic clearance event with up to 50% off. As soon as I pull in and park, a salesman was right in my face. He almost opened the door for me. I don't know about everyone here, but when I go to a dealership, I would like to look around first and get a feel of what they have, then be approached.   So I find the car I like, and notice that they had an add on sticker, marking up the price by $900 over msrp. This is on the old '04 style Mustang. (BTW they wanted $3000 over msrp on the '05s)   The salesman gets the key, and the car has a dead battery. I mean this one would not turn over when they tried jumping it. The engine compartment was dirty...in fact I saw an '03 used one at another dealership that looked a lot cleaner.   So I find another Mustang that started up, and went for a test drive. That car drove ok and had no problems.   Now before they would talk price, they had to enter my info (they even wanted my social sec. #, which I did not give them) into their computer system as a tracking guide. And they had problem with that. So finaly after wasting a lot of time, they ushered me into a office and started pressuring me into buying the car using that old saying "What will it take you to but this car today?" I felt real uncomfortable at this point. So I gave them a real low price, and they laughed at me. It was still above their 50% off price. So I walked.   No wonder why they still have a large inventory of '04s left.

Replying to: lokerola (Dec 02, 2004 6:30 am) There are some selling on ebay upwards of $35,000. What a rip off!! People are actually bidding on them too. I went to the dealership last Fri. to check them out,went back on Mon. with the intentions of driving off in my new GT and the dealer put a new sticker on saying "Adjusted Market Value"(as they wrote it)of $3,000. That brought a fully loaded GT up to $32,000 from the MSRP sticker of $29,000. Sounds like price gouging to me,but look at it as you will. I also noticed a sweet 2004 Roush stang they had on the lot. Test drove it. Liked it. Decided I wanted it and offered the dealer the MSRP sticker of $25,500 on the spot. He checked with the management and they wouldn't do it. On top of all of that the car also had 700 miles on it. He wouldn't go below $28,000 and said that price would stand firm until it's sold. Needless to say,I'm in negotiations with another dealer at the time.

Replying to: ricsch (Nov 08, 2004 11:27 am) To find X-plan pricing on any Ford vehicle simply go to http://www2.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/AXZPlan.jsp?referrer=AXZ&- amp;PlanType=X&ReferrerURL=FordVehiclePrograms   You can search dealer inventory and get the price over the web. It's a fair price and eliminates haggling IF the dealer choses to honor the X-plan. Good luck.

Replying to: ricsch (Nov 08, 2004 11:27 am) x-plan is determined by the ford motor company, not the dealer. it is usually about $100 below invoice. the dealer then receives a small kick back from ford for doing it. if theres a dealer out there that will take xplan, dplan, aplan, or zplan at this point, they're pretty freekin desperate. the dealer is never required to honor it.

Replying to: ricsch (Nov 08, 2004 11:27 am) For example on a Premium V-8 with an MSRP of $28,075 the X-plan price is $25,969.69. Replies to this message: cumb7485 (Dec 16, 2004 1:35 pm)

#29 of 1042 Re: Any deals of the 2004's ? [05mustanggt] by vandil Dec 20, 2004 (10:48 am)
Replying to: 05mustanggt (Nov 10, 2004 9:08 pm) Just orderd my 05 GT for about 350 under invoice. Spent 2 weeks shopping every dealer S. of Eau Claire. Standard consumer rate, no X-plan available. You'll be fairly happy to note a dealer in West Bend had the best price I could find.   Dealer had a great internet office and was basically willing to meet/beat any dealer in the state for internet customers. I'd email before I walked in off the street. Replies to this message: jerrymcshane1 (Dec 20, 2004 2:22 pm) vandil (Dec 20, 2004 3:53 pm)

Replying to: vandil (Dec 20, 2004 10:48 am) Why are you people so "quick" to buy one of these cars? WAIT until next year when the 18" tire setup is available. It's absolutely ludicrous NOT to wait until this option is available. Who ever heard of a 17" tires on a sports car? Hell even my mothers Seville Cadillac has 17" tires. Ford is just playing games. Their new "teaser" (part 11) plan is forthcoming after the novelty in this car wears off. And the 18" tires setup will be just one of many new options available in the near future. PATIENCE is a virtue here. Replies to this message: vandil (Dec 20, 2004 3:53 pm)
