This is my first post. We are looking for a safe family car. We have 1 little one and another on the way so we need to fit two carseats in back. In our area, Southeast Michigan, I see Ford is offering $1000 cash/or gas rebate as well as the 0% financing. From other postings, it looks like it's more like $2000 or $3000 back and 0%. We have X-plan at work, but I don't know what percent it is off the invoice. Can we use it with the incentives? We may be able to get Z-plan (is that the retiree?) from my father-in-law, but I'm not sure he'll do it. Will we save a lot more? We are a on tight budget and hope to get a fair deal. Can anyone please explain the incentives, as well as x and z plans? Also, any dealers in SE Michigan you would recommend? Thanks so much in advance--this is a tough decision for us and we really need some guidance from experienced car buyers!!!

I'm going to see a dealer today and I want a little ammunition in my pocket. Where could I find on the net the figures on how the 500 is selling? Thanks!

I said no warranties, no protections, got the customary $2061.00 discount, no processing fee, 0.0%, tax, title, tag included in loan, $1000.00 cash on the way, and payments of rounded $461 for five years and the factory will be sending the $900 "holdback" to the dealer to ease the pain of invoice only and no processing fee. If you buy the same car as an '07 at 4.9% youll pay $4000 in interest and no rebate so the same car, newer year, costs you $5000.00 more!! Still wanna add that $1200 protection and $1800 extended warranty too? $8000.00, "but it's only $133.33" more per month, says the aftersale hottie in baby doll pumps, short skirt, and loose blouse. No No No!

Replying to: slider7 (Jul 19, 2006 7:13 pm) No SE's at Island Ford. Only one 2WD SEL, 7 AWD SELs, and one Limited there. 2 2WD SE's at Popular Ford but they're both Pueblo Gold with Pebble interior, which are exactly the colors I'm not looking for. All 6 2006s at Premier Ford are Limited. Manhattan has one measly AWD SEL! I guess the SEs are popular in my area. I checked for used 05 and 06 on Autotrader.com. Get this. Staten Island had used 05 SE with traction, 13,700 miles and asking $19,995. I also found 3 different dealers in NJ with used 500s. Bergenfield had 06 SE, no options, 12,601 miles, asking $16,998. Somerville had 05 SEL with Curtain side airbags, 11,336 miles, asking $16,995. Freehold had 05 SEL with Leather seats and traction, ONLY 6,001 miles, asking $16,995! All 3 cars are 2WDs. Island Ford, are you crazy? I'd drive to Freehold and back, a total of 3 hours and I'm saving a thousand per hour! Plus a 06 model, and 2 SELs with lower mileage for $3,000 less!

I've been looking at the 500 for over a month. 500 SEL AWD - has the moon roof, trip computer Here's the latest deal retail 27.675 savings 2000 rebate 1000 adj sales price 24675 at 70 months 1.9 I have a 388.37 per month payment The first offer did not include the 2000 savings. Today they offered a 385 per month price. I countered with a 370 hoping to it or 375 per month. The dealership is the number one sales dealership in PA Mcafferty, so I know they purchase below invoice. They had at least 8 500s on their lot. Should I hold out for the 370-75?

Replying to: poconosms1 (Jul 20, 2006 6:36 pm) How much tax do you pay in PA? How much down payment? Any trade? NY state is 8.38%. If you put $5,000 down. No trade in.(Never trade, they will try and give you less than it's worth to make thier money back) 70 months with a 1.9 APR, your payments would be per month: $326
