#52 of 226 Negotiating a new Ford Fusion w/ known repaired damage by kemi Oct 03, 2006 (3:33 pm)
The local dealer has a 2006 Ford Fusion V6 SE - pretty loaded - power sunroof, ABS, Traction, safety & security package. MSRP is $23,355. They actually offered the vehicle to me for $21650, which is a little above invoice. However, the day I was going to finalize the paperwork, the dealer advised me that the vehicle I was about to purchase was damaged to the tune of $2500 in transporting. It apparently had damage to the roof and broke the sunroof. My question is what is a good negotiation price for this vehicle? They have repaired the roof and replaced the sunroof and are willing to guarantee the work for 5 years. What would be a reasonable offer for me to make for this vehicle? Any advice would be appreciated.
#54 of 226 Negotiating on repair damaged Fusion SE by fritzy Oct 04, 2006 (7:57 am)
Are you sure you want to buy this car? You're already taking at least a $3,000 hit because it's last years model and you'll have to list the damage & repairs when you tradin this car. Repair paint and body filler is never as good as the original finish. Offer them $19,150 by phone or email and be prepared to walk away. The economy is slowing down and we will be in a recession in January and the industry knows this and the dealer knows that it's hard to sell "damaged goods". People pay a premium for a new vehicle because well- it's new and not wrecked, damaged or driven by someone else. As soon as the 2006's clear the lot Ford will be offering incentives on the 07's, but I understand they have a lot of '06s (mostly trucks) to get rid of. Good luck!

Replying to: fritzy (Oct 04, 2006 7:57 am) Thanks for your response! I greatly appreciate it. Well, I'll tell you what I did. I did a search on Kelley Blue Book and entered in the vehicle information as a "used car" and selected the appropriate condition buttons listing the body damage "less than $3000" and came up with a trade in value of $16,740 and a private party value of $18565, so I called the sales guy and told him I would be willing to pay $17,000 for it. (I'd buy it for that price and may even go as high as $18,500.) He has yet to call me back. But, I'll keep you posted. Replies to this message: jaxs1 (Oct 18, 2006 9:02 pm)

Replying to: kemi (Oct 04, 2006 8:33 am) You should get an extra discount for your trouble, but getting the car for the same price as if it still needed the $3000 in repairs now is not what will happen since it has already been fully repaired. If you have any doubts about the repairs, the buy one that was never damaged instead.

Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 05, 2005 3:36 pm) Hello all,   I am the proud owner of my first new Ford. I just purchased a 2007 Fusion SEL V-6 with sun roof, heated mirrors and seats, traction control, Audiophile stereo system, leather, etc.... I am not even sure what else there is on this thing. I keep finding new stuff I did not realize was on the car.   Long story short, I paid $21,500 for the car here in Charlotte, NC. Sticker was $25,080. Very excited and happy so far....   Traded out of an 07 Camry, it sucked..... bad. Unfortunately, I took a hit on trade, but with the price of the Fusion (which ironically is about what I paid for the Camry) I made out ok.   Wish me luck; I don't need another lemon......

Replying to: ken74 (Nov 26, 2006 6:57 pm) You got a killer deal!! I'm bummed now, thought I did pretty well. I paid $23,000 for my 06 Fusion SEL V6 loaded with all options.. sounds like yours. I did get 0% financing.. did you??   Why did the 07 Camry suck?? Replies to this message: ken74 (Nov 30, 2006 6:15 pm) fritzy (Nov 30, 2006 7:20 pm)

Replying to: scape2 (Nov 28, 2006 6:56 pm) Sorry for the delay in reply......   The Camry had a bad hesitation a random. This made driving it frustrating to say the least and at worst could cause an accident(and almost did).   So far, I love the Fusion.   As for the 0%, I did not manage that. You got a sweet deal there and although I paid less up front, on the back side I will have paid more. Your payment is probably lower as well.   Enjoy your car!
