(This number is very low, better deals are being made with the CX-9 and VC) With all the rebates, at a minimum current deals on 08s should be at least equal to the rebate below the invoice price. (ie... $2000 rebate = $2000 below invoice) Watch out for extra fees! Good Luck.

Replying to: passat_2002 (Jan 03, 2008 9:32 pm) After talking with my sales rep I decided to build my own 2008 T-X. I was quoted a price of $250 over invoice (less incentive of $1500). Is this a good deal? Thanks in advance.

Since the dealership does not have to carry this car on their inventory, I would ask for $2K below invoice with no fees. The Sales Rep will not be happy, but the dealership still makes good money on that deal! As I understand it, you get the rebate (incentive) of the month when the car arrives. It may be higher next month.

Replying to: seloo (Jan 17, 2008 4:54 pm) When you say to offer $2K below invoice, are you including the factory rebate in that figure? If you are, then yes, that is a fair deal. If you are suggesting that the poster offer $2K below invoice and then subtract the rebate on top of that figure, then I think you'll probably get that offer rejected. Even though dealers don't have to carry the ordered vehicle on their inventory, the vehicle still counts against their allocation. My guess is that with a low-ball offer like that, they are going to save their allocation for another, better deal. In my opinion, invoice price minus whatever incentive is in effect upon delivery is a fair deal. So the original poster is only $250 away from that deal.

After leaving the dealership, send an email outlining your offer to the closes Ford Dealerships in your area. Factory Order: 08 TX (with the options you want) at $2K below invoice and no extra fees. To do this, you need to fully understand the invoice price and guard against the extra fees. Also tell them that you are ready to order today! Work on your time line not the dealerships. Good Luck!

Replying to: seloo (Jan 17, 2008 4:54 pm) How does the dealer make "good money" when selling a car for $500 below invoice? |

Bobw5, I am very surprised you asked that question. Making money is always a good thing for the dealership. As you know, the dealership will get the full hold back (4.3% for an Opel Dealer), plus any factory to dealer money, monthly sales incentive, and most likely a volume kickback. You are killing me!
