Need help on Mercury Milan AWD by njalan
May 24, 2009 (6:22 am)
Reply
I am planning to buy either a 2009 or 2010 Milan AWD with most of the popular options including navigation. However, there is very little information, if any, on the Milan. I need all the help I can get from this forum.
 
I live in central New Jersey. What would be a good starting point of negotiation, the MSRP, Invoice or the TMV? There is $3500 cash back on the 2009 and only $1000 cash incentive on the 2010. Which one would be a better buy? What is the going price for a fully AWD, invoice less $3500 plus tax and tag for 2009, or invoice less $1000 plus tax and tag for 2010? Since most AWD cars are not hot sell cars I wonder if the selling price can go below the invoice.
 
Any suggestion/advice is appreciated.

Sales Tax Calculation on new Fusion by fusionguy

I have received quotes from 2 local dealers on a similar '09 Fusion. I was surprised that the dealers calculated the sales tax amount differently. If anyone out there would know which method is correct, I would appreciate it.
Dealer 1 took my X-plan price minus the current $3500 rebate to get their final sales price, and then calculated the sales tax amount from this final price.
Dealer 2 took my X-plan price and calculated the sales tax amount from it, and then subtracted the $3500 rebate.
So Dealer 2 is collecting about $260 more in sales tax from me than Dealer 1.
Which dealer has the correct and legal method for collecting sales tax? Thanks.

That would depend on the state you live in. Method two is correct for Florida.

I hope this is not too late. When I was living in Ohio, I bought a 02 Explorer XLT V8 with 0 % down and 0% interest for 5 years. They wouldn't do much with the price and basically said it's either the special rate or the cash-back which I could put towards the downpayment. And at that time, I was thinking pretty much in line like you that it's "free money" and I took the special rate (and I didn't care back then because I had a lot more $$$ in the reserve to spend). Then I learned more, and to be honest with you... they could have sold me the car for A LOT LESS and they can sell you the car for a lot less too. Don't worry about if it's the last 09 AWD in Ohio. They can get one from Indy, Michigan, or any neighbor states for the same low price. And if you said this is a 09 model, well, 2010 is out and they want to get rid of all 09s so you should be get it much under invoice. Good luck.

2009 Ford Fusion SE I4/Auto by timcanterbury

Car has Performance Appearance Package w/ wheels, interior, etc. MSRP is $22,690. After $3500 rebate we got it down to $16,999, with $1328 due for taxes, titles, etc. Is this in line with current 2009 prices? I understand they're trying to move them to make room for the 2010 models. Many thanks for any insight...

That sounds pretty good to me, you are getting $3,500 rebate and another $2,100 off beyond that, which is great. If you do the price with options here on Edmunds (I don't know the exact options on the one you're looking at), you will probably find that your price is very close to invoice price or even a bit below, it sure doesn't sound like much above it. If this is a 2009 model that is understandable, the 2010 models are rolling in and a dealer probably wants to move the 09 models off the lot so it's a good deal for you!

We got the 2009 Fusion SE / 2.3L / i4 engine / 5 speed automatic / sport appearance package(SAP) / moon roof . rear spoiler / 6 mos of Sirius for 16,465 before tax and other fees. The dealer in California took off 7000 from the MSRP of 23,465. We bought this car on 6/05/09. Color is vapor silver / dark charcoal leather seat.
 
The one w/o the SAP goes for 15650 before tax ( MSRP of 22,650 less 7000) in white platinum /camel interior. So we basically paid 815 more for SAP which includes 18" chrome wheels / dark leather seats / sport tuned suspension.
 
The bay area dealer is getting rid of 2009 models to amke room for the 2010 so I think we got a good deal.
