I'm looking at a 2009 4 door SEL automatic. The car is maxed out with heated seats, moon roof, sync, etc. The email from the dealer has list price = $21,020.00 internet price = $15,400.00 OTD = $16,771.09 with ford credit  8.9% including $500 rebate. I've been approved by chase for $15K at 5.6% OTD = $17,271.09 According to this http://www.bankrate.com/brm/calc/rebatecalc.asp I save $974 over the life of the loan by taking the lower interest rate. Questions: What do you think about the $17,271.09 OTD price? I think it's too high. I want to buy this weekend; should I tell him? Will telling him "if he gives it to me for $16K OTD I'll go get it right now" help? I haven't told the dealer how much I've been approved by or the rate. Should I? Could it help me get a lower OTD price? FYI: the local mazda dealers offered me Mazda 3's for 2K less but with only auto and ac - nothing else! One guy offered me one with no ac! I live in Miami!

Replying to: capella (May 12, 2009 4:08 pm) "Wish I could help but I'm giving it to you with no dealer fees" That was from a small town dealer in central fl where my mother lives. I tried a local dealer and got an OTD price of $299 more. So now I'm pretty comfortable that the price is fair.

Replying to: alexinmiami (May 13, 2009 6:10 pm) Anything less than that and you are better off getting 5-10 bids on a 09 M3. Bigger interior dimensions and a much better auto all around, even if a thousand or so more. That said may be worth it even if $5000 off the Focus. The M3 sells for about 3k off msrp, putting a nice i touring value edition with alloys and auto in the 15k range or less. Also the 09 Hyundai Elantra gls auto for 13-14k-ish before the Focus but still behind the M3. Good luck -jjf

Replying to: jfritsch (May 14, 2009 6:33 am) I also have the $500 College rebate and the $1500 Drive the Difference. What do you think? |

| I'm just starting my research on purchasing an 09 Focus SE coupe - with Auto Transmission + the ABS option - and I want the dealer to throw in the floor mats and cargo mat for free. I'm a current Ford driver, and my family has bought 4 cars from the same dealer over the past 22 years, so ideally I can use that as leverage. My current car is a 1990 Probe - less thank 50K on it. I will be paying cash - what is a good OTD price for the NYC/Long Island area? | |
I'm considering an 09 Ford Focus SE for my 18-year old. What is the going price for an SE? I'm located in the tidewater area of VA. Thanks!
