Replying to: vrm (Jul 20, 2005 7:56 am) vrm: the $500 rebate is in addition to the family plan. But it cannot be stacked with the 0% financing or other financing deals.

#56 of 583 Dealer in NoVa by cgalen Jul 21, 2005 (8:55 am)
We recently purchased a Freestyle SEL from Ourisman World of Ford on Rt. 1 in Alexandria. Got the employee price even before it was officailly offered, plus the 0% financing. Had to negotiate pretty hard on the trade in, but we got an acceptable offer. One thing they offer that most dealers don't is free service for the first two years, plus free loaner cars while you're in for extended service. There's an intangible value to such an offer that goes beyond just the bottom line purchase price of your vehicle. Of course, if you live in MD, it may not be worth having to drive there for regular service. Replies to this message: vrm (Jul 21, 2005 1:06 pm) cgalen (Jul 25, 2005 9:29 am)

I am just about ready to buy a FWD SEL. Options include front row comfort package, DVD (ugh), leather and aux climate control. Dealer is quoting 26,175, the price got off of ford's website. Any thoughts as to good or bad. thanks for any input.

Replying to: vrm (Jul 21, 2005 1:06 pm) We are very satisfied - no initial defects in the first month. The car came with the $695 safety package, which we wanted, and the $115 split 3rd row seat, which we didn't necessarily want, but having the seats fold indvidiually is actually more handy than having just a solid bench, so it's worth it.

Go to fordvehicles.com and plug in your zip code. It will give you the family plan price for all the vehicles in your area. Find the one you are buying (it should be listed under the dealer) and see if the price is right.
#61 of 583 My purchase by hedden Jul 31, 2005 (4:21 pm)
As I figured, the Family price is negotiable -- if the dealer is willing. Several told me it was a fixed price, no flexibility. One even said it was "illegal" for them to sell below that price -- claimed that Ford would fine them some amount.   But I did find a few that were willing to come down $500 off that price. But the guy I ended up buying from gave me an even better deal. It was starting to get tough to find the right color and options, so we had to settle for more options than we wanted, but with the discount it wasn't too hard to swallow: SEL FWD Comfort/Safety/Leather/Moonroof/Reverse Sense/Climate Control/Split 3rd/Console listed at $31,100 MSRP; Family price was right around $27k; dealer sold it to me for a little under $26k. About $5k under list.   Never could get the guy to tell me how he was giving me such a good deal. He just talked about them moving a lot of cars this month. My guess is that they were close to a sales goal, or perhaps past a sales goal that was giving them a rebate from the factory. Other dealers refused to match the price -- they claimed this guy couldn't sell at that price without losing money. Replies to this message: barnstormer64 (Jul 31, 2005 7:00 pm)

Apparently the dealership was very close to some sort of sales record, for which they'd get a nice bonus. The guy kept giving better and better offers as the end of the month approached. That last day, I guess they still needed one vehicle, so he gave an offer my brother couldn't refuse.
