Replying to: kpevav (Mar 09, 2008 7:40 am) I guess when you're buying used and trading in another used it's sort of hard to determine if it's a good deal or not. But lets say you separated the deals and sold the '06 yourself and got $15K and bought the used '08 for $22K, you'd have to pay $7000 instead of $10,000, so you're paying the dealer $3000 for the convenience of not having to sell your '06. That's a loss everyone pays for trading in their car at a dealer versus selling it on their own, so it's up to you if it's worth it. |

(X-Plan Deal) Currently, there is $1500 customer cash/Factory to Dealer cash ???. At a minimum, start with a $2500 below invoice offer with no extra fees. If they say "no" leave your number and go to the next dealership. As the economy declines, time is on your side! As part of your car deal question all extra fees the are not paid to the local and state Govt at TT&L and avoid add-ons! Keep your trade (if you have one) and financing separate from the car deal. There are a lot of people on this site that are willing to assist you. Good Luck! |

Your postings on this board are of no help to anyone. You have no verifiable data with which to work. In fact, you have no data period. Ford has been selling about 3000 X's a month. Neither you nor anyone else has any way of determining what these vehicles are going out the door for. If you do... then tell me what I paid for my last vehicle. Go ahead. I'm waiting... Hmmmnn... I'm still waiting. I can't hear you. Speak up little guy.

Replying to: passat_2002 (Mar 11, 2008 1:06 pm) seloo's comment about the declining economy is good assessment of the US economy. The dollar has dropped a tremendous amount compared to foreign currencies. One result is oil price is at a highest level ever. President Bush is giving out an "Booster Shot" with tax refunds to prime the economy. The Federal Reserve is even having emergency meetings to drop interest rates to try and stop an impending recession, which many economists say has started anyway. National housing prices have dropped 9% from last year, with foreclosures at the highest level in history. My dealer has said he's never seen such a bad economy for cars, and the recent year-over-year sales for all manufactures show a several percent decline from last year, first time to happen in many years. Denial of an economic decline is absurd. If you have a lot of "surplus economy" yourself, maybe you can help bail out some of your foreclosing neighbors. But we don't care. This thread does rely on people reporting honestly. I did. I suspect others are too. The only confusion sometimes is what rebates and fees were included in the price discount, which is why I detailed my invoice and price paid.

Replying to: larryqw (Mar 11, 2008 2:29 pm) Thank you for your comments, we understand that the intention here is to share information and hopefully, save money on car deals. As for our friend Passat 2002 and his comments concerning the state of the economy and the implication that Taurus X’s monthly sales are good, this could be his attempt at some satire. I agree with your comments concerning rebates and fees. Some buyers really understand the concept with others provide some very confusing information. Thanks for making the numbers from your deal very understandable. You are right; there has been a lot of coverage concerning the weak new auto market. I suspect we will see heavy discounting in the near-term. In many cases, dealers are hurting. Take care, Seloo |

I finally took delivery this weekend of the TX that I had ordered back in December. The salesperson had originally estimated an order time of 8-12 weeks, but it actually took about 14 weeks. I wasn't in a rush so it wasn't a big deal, but if anyone is ordering a TX, they should expect a little bit of a wait! Since I ordered, the price on the TX had increased, but with the X-Plan, there is price protection, so I didn't have to pay extra. Other than that, the deal was the same as what I had posted back in December: 2008 TX Eddie Bauer AWD Merlot with Gold Accent Reverse Sensing System Heated Seats X-Plan Price: $30,342 Rebate: $1,500 Document Fee: $75 (the max fee allowed on X-Plan purchases) Total price before TTL: $28,917 Originally the invoice price was $30,388. However, this was back in December before the price increase. The MSRP went up by $240, so assuming that the invoice price went up by the same amount, my guess is that the invoice price was $30,628. |
