I just got my Fusion SE v6 last week, and the msrp was $22,465. With $1000 in total rebates & incentives, and $1000 total out of pocket from me, it only comes to $242/month. I also utilized the A plan.

Well, my wife and I found a GREAT Fusion...an SEL V6 with heated leather seats, moon & tune and traction control. The pricing was: Standard Vehicle Price (MSRP: $22,150 / INVOICE: $20,386) Moon & Tune Package (MSRP: 795 / INVOICE: $692) Heated Front Seats (MSRP: $295 / INVOICE: $257) Traction Control (MSRP: $95 / INVOICE: $83) Leather Seating (MSRP: $895 / INVOICE: $779) Destination & Delivery ($725) This brought us to a total MSRP of $24,955 and total invoice cost of $22,976, and the dealer said they would agree to invoice plus $20. Our trade in is a 2001 ZX2 with 78K miles in excellent condition. KBB and NADA show it as being worth a bit over $4K in this condition. Based on this, we wanted to get to a price of $18,761. $22,996 = Invoice + $20 $125 = Doc Fees $(1,000) = Ford Rebate $(500) = College Grad Rebate (Abby graduated this past June) $(4,000) = Trade-in value $1,140 = Tax on $22,397, less $4,000 trade, at 6% tax $18,761 = TOTAL We are kind of surprised the dealer would come any lower than $19,700. Apparently, they didn't really want to work with us.....we checked out a Mercury Milan Premier that was the essentially same exact car (same color, even) but was ~$300 more on MSRP. That dealer was willing to sell the car for $19.4K which when you take out the $300 over the Fusion put us very close to where we wanted to be, and we would have taken it....but oddly enough, the car rode very jittery. I told the Ford dealer about what we drove at Mercury and what their price was, and they just wanted to remain about $1,000 more than what we were looking to do......so I'm not sure really why they are looking to lose the sale, especially when their lot is loaded with these cars....they have about 50 Fusions. In the dead of winter in the midwest. And coming off the worst sales year in the past decade. Well....so be it. |

Was in the mrkt at year end for a mid size car. My experience with Milan & Fusion - '08 Fusion S (only option being the auto tranny) - final price from 3 dealers in AUstin, TX area (Covert Ford, Leif Johnson & Riata Ford) - $17500 + TTL (estimated around $1400). The price included all discounts - supplier pricing + $1000 year end rebate. '07 Milan I4 (only option being the auto tranny) - final price from Pavillion Lincoln Mercury in Austin, TX - $17500 + TTL (estimated around $1400). The price incl all discounts - suoplier pricing + $2250 year end rebate. 1) both cars are identical but the Milan comes with more extras for the buck. 2) Milans dont seem to be selling that well (no '07 Fusions left while there were a ton of '07 Milan's left). So, the rebate on Milan is higher. You relaly owe it to yourself to check out both cars. 3) If I had bought the car I would have asked about the $500 recent grad disc (I think, usualy for people who have grad in last 1 yr or will grad in next 1 yr). 4) In Austin, TX area definately check out Mac Hays - very aggressive on advertising. Using the supplier program all gave the same, no-haggle price but I could have got the car cheaper it seems by negotiating outside the program. 5) Huge diff between Mercurty dealers & Ford dealers - Mercury dealer allowed longer, friendlier test drives, never badggered (except 1 email). Ford dealer, aggressive on negotiating, losing patience when I asked questions about extras that could be included like window tinting, services, etc, called 2 times a day everyday for a week to push the deal. 1 tip with the Ford dealer is dont buy on your visit. WIth the follow-up calls they will start offering extras to close the deal. I got offers for a yr of free oil changes & free window tinting & this was without calling them back, except for the cursory, 1 call "I am still looking ..."

Replying to: strikeman (Jan 10, 2008 9:43 am) My last three purchases (including this one) were via internet. Never saw salesman until I picked up vehicle. I did make mistake of contacting local dealer early and sorry I did. I walked out when he lamely tried to explain extra charges on X-plan purchase. Dealer I am buying from has been upfront and all contact has been via email. |

2008 Fusion SE... Redfire ext./ beige int. color purchased at Apple Valley Ford, Apple Valley, Minnesota on 1/25/08. Automatic transmission. Stickered at $19,370 ... bought for $15,654 after rebates and dealer discounts. 19.2% off sticker. $3716 off sticker. 27 miles on car when bought, have a grand total of 130 miles on it now. Considered a 2008 Corolla LE for $15,100. Have bought 3 cars at A.V. Ford since 2001, same salesman, nice dealership, no games, no pressure, no b.s. Went with Fusion. My wife loved the styling and pretty color of Fusion. Not as good gas mileage or probable reliability as Toyota but rides beautifully on highway, extremely comfortable. I'm a six footer and have to pull driver's seat up 3 to 5 inches, that's how much leg room there is! Wife and I only drive about 13,000 miles total annually between our cars. If driving 30,000 combined miles would have went with Corolla for the gas mileage. Seems as roomy as our 2004 Sable for leg room. I hope it's as good in snow as our Sable .... the tiger tank!

| yes, i have the conti pro contact tires on mine. Only drove once in 1 inch of snow so I really can't tell so far. Handled well, but like I said...1 inch..nothing. I've driven my whole life in snow in Minnesota. 37 years of driving in it. My sable has continental tires and goes great through the white stuff. | |
