I thought that was kind of weird. What also caught my attention is a dealer that does not charge a dealer fee! Every dealer in Florida in my experience, regardless of make, tacks on a Dealer Fee between $400-$700 (yes, $700!).

Maybe they made so much money on that deal, they felt obligated not to charge a fee.
 
With $2500 in rebates that should have been at least a $2000 below invoice deal with no extra fees.

I need more information, but quickly running the numbers based on the limited information you provided about your car, (I could be wrong due to the lack of info) it does not look like a great deal! You really need to do your homework! With that many rebates, you should be able to purchase this car $1500-2000 below the invoice price (not MSRP) check Edmunds.com. Where is your next assignment? Some states give the military a tax break if you purchase the car in that state.

Do you think that I could renegotiate the quote? I am going to California next.

Have you done your homework so you fully understand how much the car cost and then compared that cost to the Invoice price? Then, find a dealer in the states and get a quote for the car you want (with all the Ford rebates, at least $1500 + under the invoice price w/o extra fees) and before the normal TTL charges.
 
Once you have that information you can compare you overseas deal. Since you are picking up the car in the US, I assume AAFES will arrange for the CA TTL. I understand that CA is an expensive state to purchase a car.
 
If you already signed a contract and put down money, it may be too late!
 
Good Luck!

My deal on a 2008 TX Eddie Bauer by humblecoder

I test drove the TX EB today at the local dealer, and both my wife and I decided to pull the trigger on the deal. I picked this dealer because they a low-volume "town" dealer, so they are more laid back compared to the highway dealership. The salesperson was an older gentleman who was very relaxed and friendly. He let my wife and I take the car for a test drive on our own, so we were able to give it a nice, long extended test drive.
 
The ones they had in stock were all loaded up with options we didn't want, so we ended up doing a factory order. I get X-Plan pricing, so that's the price I got. Plus, I get any rebates/incentives that are in effect at the time of delivery. The other benefit of factory ordering was that new orders come with Sync (unlike the ones on the lot which were "Job 1" orders).
 
The deal:
 
2008 TX Eddie Bauer AWD
Merlot with Gold Accent
Reverse Sensing System
Heated Seats
 
MSRP: $32,490
Invoice: $30,388
X-Plan: $30,342 - rebates/incentives at time of delivery
 
Also, with X-Plan dealers are allowed to charge up to a $60 doc fee, so the total deal is $30,402 - rebates + TTL

Once you close on the deal, please come back and report your final numbers.
 
Again, many are falling for extra fees, please watch out. Hopefully, the rebates will be $2K or more when your car arrives.
