I bought a 2006 Ford FiveHundred SE last week. Here are my numbers. $22,930 Sticker price 21,998 Selling price +1,006.80 Tax +148.00 Some weird dealer crap ============ 23,252.80 -500.00 Ford Incentive ============ $22,752.80 out the door with special incentive financing I qualified for the 0% APR for 60 months and the 1.9% APR for 72 months. I went with the 1.9%APR for 72 months and my monthly note is $334 and some change. Note, the dealer tried to jack the monthly notes up on me twice. Once on the phone while going over the numbers, and again when I sat down to do the paper work. When I sat down to do the paper work, they had the wrong base monthly note $10 higher a month even though the selling price of the car was the same. He blamed it on the guy that did the paper work... go figure. So far I love the car. I am not sure I got a good deal, but the notes are right where I wanted them. |

| They got a 06 Ford 500 at a dealership in town here and the sticker is 31,060. What do you think is the best price I could get for it? | |

Got an internet quote from my local dealer on a 2007 Five Hundred, wondering how good it is, and am open to opinions. It is an SEL model with Power Package, Leather, 6CD stereo, and Convenience Package... He is quoting me invoice price, and telling me he can get me out the door for $23,945 (after tax, title, fees, and minus the rebate). What do you think?

For anybody's reference. I bought a 2006 Mercury Montego Premier last month in October near New Orleans area dealership for $23,000 out the door which included Tax, Title, and License. The only option was reverse sensing. After I brought the car, a few weeks later, I've notice an additional $1,000 cash discount incentive on Mercury website in Nov. So maybe, the dealer may take out another grand. Their selling price depends on market demand and if they want to sell it high or low. Check out www.myford500.com for what others had paid. Lowest off MSRP average around $6800 to $8000. Pay anymore than $6800 off msrp would be a ripp off in my opinion. After driving a few weeks, the ride was about average. Not like a scale of number 7 given by Consumer Reports rated. It would be more like a 5.5 for ride quality. While I'm at it, the top rated washing machine on Consumer Reports went out on me after 2 years. The ride quality was just a little better than an SUV but my knees would still shake while driving. And more noise in the back seat(give a 5 for quietness). I can even hear the gasoline shake in the gas tank while sitting in the back seat and the noise from the rear suspension frame when it hits a minor bump. It has very Poor sound insulation. Somewhat annoying for ride quality back seats more bumpy than front seats. I can feel all expansion joints on Louisiana roads and at unlevel bumps, my body would jolt up and down. The car's springs and shocks should me made smoother, but I have to live with it for now. If I had to spend $28,000, it would be on another car. Reason for the buy was the $5,000 difference. The expected quality seems not to be their though. And it should have the 100,000 mile warranty like GM. Options: Reverse sensors $27,875 sticker price selling price -1,500 rebate -5,365 dealership hidden rebates and whatever discounts ======= $21,010 price before taxes and tag fees 1840 sales tax (~ 9 percent) 150 tag fee, etc ======= $23,000 out the door without incentive financing |

OK, this month you can get about $6000 off MSRP with the combo of incentives on the 500/Montego. Or you can wait til summer and pay approx. sticker for a 2008. What am i losing out on by buying now? I know about the engine but what about the tranny and the AWD. Is giving up the CVT and the Haldex AWD for the new unproven 3.5 a good tradeoff? Just wondering...

Replying to: pegasus17 (Feb 11, 2007 5:01 pm) Test drive one with the CVT and one without, and see what you think. I don't think you'd have to pay sticker for a 2008, though. Probably closer to invoice. |
