Thanks, although I do regard it with some suspicion I just called your guy. He was vague about the whole thing but did confirm your daughter's transaction. He'll "have to see" if discount applies to other units and is "not sure" how long it lasts. We'll see if he calls back with the details requested.
 
More generally, I've been appalled at the internet practices of Ford stores with which I've contacted in the past couple of weeks here. My previous experience with other makes in this regard has been VERY positive and resulted in a number of purchases since 2000. For some reason, though, the Ford stores (with just a couple of exceptions) have been horrible, refusing even supply a requested price quote.
 
At least here in Central Ohio the market for these cars has virtually collapsed with very few units selling since new incentives were announced at the beginning of the month.

Well, their AD in today's paper says "now through Monday at Champion Ford Katy" at the top of the page. Let us know how they follow up. My guy DID follow-up with several returned phone calls before we ever drove to the dealership. Good luck.

Hi,
 
I am looking to Buy a Mustang V6 Premium coupe in the New Jersey area. I am OK with a 2006 model. The options that I think I absolutely need are
 
1) Automatic transmission
2) Antilock brakes and traction control
3) Exterior color: Black
4) Leather seats
 
I have a budget of around 20,000. Cant really go above it. Is this a good enough budget for getting the above options.
 
Thanks in advance.

Go to Ford's website and check dealer inventories in your area. You can see options, prices, and incentives. Figure your price, at maximum, as invoice minus incentives. Their "invoice" numbers include ad fees which you may well not be charged for - compare the numbers with those on this site.
 
Also be sure to check to see what kind of financing Ford is offering - the interest rate can make a huge difference in payments.

Your minimum requirements generate a MSRP (including destination) of about $23,275. I see ads in the Houston area advertising V6's at $5000 off MSRP. Adding TX sales tax of 6.25% plus title and tag should still get a 2006 out the door in this part of the country for slightly under $20,000. Follow the above post's suggestion to use Ford's view of your local dealer's 2006's inventory, find a black V6 premium with a MSRP of under $24,000 and click on 'get an internet price'. The 2006s will have at least the $1500 advantage over the 2007s due to the rebate. Add your local tax, title, license to see how close they can get before you go to the dealer. Refuse dealer installed options like a security system at an inflated price that can jack up the price. Know your financing alternatives at your credit union beforehand. Good luck.

Gullo Ford Conroe, TX by rsmith5

Bad experience at Gullo Ford in Conroe, TX. Yes, the mailed advertisement sounded too good to be true, but when I called and spoke to a salesman there and questioned the stated rebate of $3500, he said it was new and to come on in and they would get as close to the advertised deal as possible on another unit. I realize that the saleman did not write the ad, but he could check it out instead of using it to get me in the door. His manager was no better saying the referenced stock number was a pickup. This was another example of why you should insist on a stock number that you can verify with Ford's inventory of what is supposed to be in stock before you go to Gullo Ford Conroe. Fool me once....

The Champion Ford salesguy was supposed to call me yesterday but I have yet to hear from him and, apparently, won't - no real surprise. Fortunately, I've found someone local who seems good.

'06 GT Convertible by cccompson

I started out to buy a stick shift coupe but Ford's current zero interest promotion caused their supply to quickly shrink and my dealer was unable to trade for one.
 
This week the search ended with the purchase of an '06 GT convertible. Here's the numbers:
 
MSRP - $35,030 (Torch Red with Parchment interior and top and equipped with automatic, side air bags, IUP, alarm, boot cover, and 18 inch polished wheels).
 
Purchase price - $32,530 plus $250 doc fee. Included were several accessories (all weather mats, chrome exhaust tips, '07 plenum cover, and touch up paint) worth about $250. Took the zero percent financing in lieu of the $1500 rebate.
 
Quotes from three Ohio dealers were close (low was $32,321 and high was $32,530). However the highest price was way more than offset by a higher trade allowance and the actual bottom line difference was about $850.
 
I would not hesitate to recommend the selling dealer - Dick Masheter Ford in Columbus - to anyone. They believe in no bull and no pressure and were truly delightful to buy from.
