#32 of 1036 X Plan Price by golfnut7 Dec 20, 2004 (9:01 pm)
The calculation for the X plan is A plan plus 4% plus $150. I am looking at a '05 coupe for my daughter with a $23,240 MSRP, invoice of $21,580 and X plan price of approximately $21,500. Is it worth looking much further in hopes of saving anything more? This dealer it 2 miles from our house and thats worth something. From what I have seen, I might as well go ahead and pull the trigger rather than shop for a month and save $100.

Replying to: texas_ford_guy (Dec 22, 2004 1:48 pm) As if the dealer would actually tell you what he paid for the car by printing it out as Invoice. Or how many they need to sell yet that month for there volume discount. Listed invoice is about as real as the salesmans opening offer, it's a mirrored floor.    Not to mention they can drop that front end price through the floor if they make up the cash on the back end or trade in. More than one way to make money in the car business.   Like you said your never going to find one selling under "actual" cost. But selling under listed invoice is another matter. I seriously doubt you can find one on lot for that price but ordering one in that's another matter completely.
#35 of 1036 Ordered my Mustang GT Premium December 22 by luggy Dec 26, 2004 (4:06 pm)
Went back and forth between two dealerships here in N.E. Wisconsin..Bergstrom in Neenah and Dorsch in Green Bay. Both were eager to get my business, however Dorsch came up with the best deal. I ordered the Premium package, V-8 5-speed manual tranny, with side air bags and upgraded interior and anti-theft system. Color is Legend Lime Metallic with Medium Parchment interior, white racing stripes. Dorsch discounted my car $200.00, dropped the stripe job from $799.00 down to $729.00 and threw in a 2 year/26 month maintenance free (drive and go) package. Before taxes I'm paying $27,206.00. This will be a cash deal. Car is not expected to arrive until middle of April/early May, which is fine because this car will NEVER see snow/salt. Dealer did say there was a delay in the manufacturing of the 'Stangs with the upgraded interior, they think it's a commodity problem Ford is having. Overall I was very impressed with the deal I received, and I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Bergstom in Neenah if the occassion ever arises again.

#36 of 1036 MSRP price on V6 Premium by cgalen Dec 28, 2004 (8:27 am)
I've looked at ford's own site at various dealers' prices, and the odd thing is that some identical cars at the same dealerships have a base MSRP for the 2005 V6 of 19,370, while another has an MSRP at 19,770. Same cars, same features, $400 difference. Any ideas why? I called Ford' "customer car" line and they said it's all up to the dealer, even though it's clearly the "MANUFACTURER'S" suggested price.
#37 of 1036 msrp price by thunderbird Jan 02, 2005 (2:47 pm)
I can't say for what other have reported from paying 1500 under msrp to 2500 over msrp, but in so. calif., these cars are not going for under msrp. I was lucky to get one $550 under because it was a promotion(one at this price stuff) other than that, I tried to get one not on promotion. The best I could do was sticker price. I guess it depends on where you live
#38 of 1036 looking to buy and have seen . . . . by scarletstang Jan 05, 2005 (1:08 pm)
I'm in NJ and if dealers here (Ace Ford, Woodbury) are not marking up above sticker, no one should be paying above and you can always order one as well. Remember all the dummies who paid thousands over invoice for VW Bugs when they came back out? They could have 3 now for the price they paid for one. However, if you want one now, you will pay sticker for it, or simply not get it.

Replying to: kirstie_h (Sep 30, 2004 7:01 am) Horrible. I was looking for a GT. I visited Autoway in St Petersburg. They didn’t have one. I went to Brandon Ford, close to 35 miles away, they didn’t have an automatic (white or yellow) in stock. Brandon Ford wants a driver’s license and insurance certificate to take a test drive. Some dealers require a driver’s license. This is the first time I had to prove insurance. Yesterday I drove to Freedom, which is about 20 miles from my home. The grouchy, tired, old salesman who I met getting out of my car,told me “We don’t let anyone test drive the Mustang GT. We’re selling them for sticker”. He was grouse, so I left him standing there, went inside and met a younger, more pleasant salesman. He confirmed, “Management does not allow test drives on the Mustang GT”. He asked me “How serious a buyer are you”? This question put me off, but I told him, I’ve narrowed it down to the Mustang, but I was so serious, my five year old and I were headed to the Detroit Auto Show in a few days to decide for certain I wanted the Mustang. I asked him, “How do you expect to sell one if you won’t allow a test drive? He body language revealed he agreed with me and remarked “tell me about it”. I left in a disappointed huff and he followed me out and as I was in backing my car out, he stopped me and said, “Please, let me speak to management”. I told him I was turned off and I would go to another Ford dealer. I told him there were a lot of them. Next I went to Walker Ford, saw a few sales people standing around outside smoking (a real negative) and talking to each other, so I went inside. I walked around, looking at two Mustangs, none of the GT’s. I went to what I would describe as the sales booth in the corner, stood around outside of it and waited for someone to talk to. They were all in a discussion. No one asked me, so I went looking for a sales person in the various offices on the floor and hallways and saw no one. I returned to the parking lot, got in my car, and drove the parking lot, noticing they had no GT in stock, so I left.   This was my first visit to a Ford dealership in over 15 years. It is no wonder they have fallen so behind in sales. I told myself, I didn’t want a Mustang any longer. If this was an example of sales, what could service be like, I wondered. I sent a letter to Ford's HQ's (mail) and to the individual dealerships (via email). No response. Sad. I hope they choke on their inventory.
#41 of 1036 Dont waste your money by rcb1 Jan 13, 2005 (4:42 pm)
I purchased a 2001 Bullitt a COLLECTOR CAR as FORD sold it. I ended up paying about 4K over msrp due to the limited available so I thought. I was orginally told by the local dealers that no more than 2500 would be sold which ended up more around 6500. And within in weeks the veh was making regular trips to Ford. It spent the entire first summer I owned it in the shop. And they still could not fix the problems. And once they decided that they couldnt fix the veh after the 10th try that it was now my problem. So just think about this after shelling out almost 30K and spending over 1 1/2 years in court fighting over the repairs a sold the car now 2 years old for 50% of what was paid. The whole Ford Motor Company is unbelievable no matter how much I like the new Mustangs the reliability, dealer scams, and price gouging should not be ignored. Also if you do buy one make the dealer put in writing that your veh is not a FLEET CAR! Since according to Ford a $30,000 Mustang is considered a FLEET VEH which means that warrantee repair quality needs to be that of only a cab or rental car company!
