I had already looked at inventory for Staten Island,2 in Brooklyn, and Manhattan. I'm only interested in the SE 2WD. SEL and Limited are too pricey for me and on Staten Island I'll get around fine with 2WD and save a little on gas.
 
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?

A 2006 SEL AWD base invoice is $23,972. A moonroof cost them $779. Destination charge is $700. Rebate is $1,000. Add all this up and total cost comes to $24,451. I would try for $23,951. See if other dealers will beat their price.
 
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

At $388.37 per month for 70 months with a 1.9 APR, your actually paying $23,455. If you hold out for $370 your actually paying $22,455. So your total savings would be $4,000 plus the rebate is $5,000 off retail. Sounds like a sweet deal!

While I hope I'm wrong, I don't believe they'll meet your terms.
 
Am curious as to why you aren't trying to buy this at zero percent for 60 months - at your already quoted price your montly payment would be about $410.

well, they offered 385, down $4. I told them 380 and I'll buy. The current car I own is 17 years old, 270k a six year loan is nominal for me at 1.9%. My wife's car I paid off in 4.5 years anyway.

They are now at 384 and threw in a paint and leather protector package for free. I accepted. I'll post my thoughts about the vehicle after I've been driving it for a while
 
end price - 24,450 with moonroof, safety package, and leather seats.
