Replying to: kcrossley (Jul 17, 2009 6:59 am) Car prices have been jacked up recently because of the $3500-$4500 cash for clunkers vouchers from the govt. This may last a few months. Good luck --jjf

Replying to: jfritsch (Jul 21, 2009 1:20 am) This is something I've never heard of, is that really something that's done for a new car? Or is this just the new way for the dealer to put the usual "ADP"? This dealer did some really creative things with the invoice, which I had mostly corrected, and this dealer fee still remained. It seems the old car sales practices that kept me from buying new are still alive and kicking at some places.. I have to admit it was quite an unpleasant experience, being as unprepared as I was walking into the Ford dealership. My fault in being sucked in by the C4C program deadline.

Replying to: wingerr (Aug 30, 2009 1:52 pm) In my area the fee is much more modest, typically $99-129. I've read of fees as high as $500-600 in some markets. I hope you at least got the $2000-3000 rebates on your new Focus (or were those only on the '09?).

Replying to: jeffyscott (Aug 30, 2009 2:07 pm) No rebates at all- there was a tristate ford rebate for the 2010 that I saw listed online for 1000, but this dealer didn't seen to know anything about it, and I didn't see it on the ford website, so maybe it was outdated or in error.

Replying to: wingerr (Aug 30, 2009 10:53 pm) Obviously, with demand that high, and many people entering the door who hadn't bought a new vehicle since the Reagan Administration, normal discounts disappeared supplanted by $4000 gov't vouchers straight into the dealerships and factory's pockets. With some clunkers worth $1500 and up, many could have done better or as well a month before the gov't certificates. The flood of demand driving prices up cancelling out most or all of the $4000 govt check. Just another $3 billion to the gov't debt clock. --jjf Thanks for the info- I really didn't think that add on fee was really on the level, but it's good to know it's not unheard of- No rebates at all- there was a tristate ford rebate for the 2010 that I saw listed online for 1000, but this dealer didn't seen to know anything about it, and I didn't see it on the ford website, so maybe it was outdated or in error. |

| I'm looking for a new Focus sedan in Houston. Does anyone have idea how much I should expect to pay? Am I too late for the summer specials? | |
| I mentioned this in other forums, but felt it was worth repeating... If you are a Ford Focus owner - try to check out the Ford Owners (http://www.fordowner.com) website. It helps to keep everything online, and allows you to keep track of your cars’ complete maintenance records, calendar/mileage of recommended maintenance, and tons of coupons to use when you have your car checked at a Ford dealer | |
