Who were you working with at that dealership? So they gave you a price quote and when you showed up they all of a sudden backed out? I am starting negotiations with this same dealer is why I ask. Thank you.

Don't think I'm allowed to post names on this website. The initial sales rep was male. I negotiated by email, as I do for all car purchases. His female manager wrote back that the price quoted in writing was too low and raised it by $1500. She was very unprofessional, even in writing. Poor attitude, sarcastic. Can't believe she has a customer service job. I'm buying a car elsewhere tomorrow from a dealership I've bought from before. Everything negotiated smoothly by email.
 
Good luck. Hope you get the car you want w/o hassles.

That is a pretty great deal you got there. Did you do internet (email) negotiating? I am curious about the rebates and discounts you got. Did you have ford x-plan? And how did you get $3250 in ford rebates. All I see is 2500 if you go with Ford Financing.

That is impressive. $7155 off MSRP is damn good. Much better than the $4500 I have been offered with my X-Plan. Was the discount price A-Plan, X-Plan, or dealer discount? Also what is Conquest?

The deal was straight negotiation (dealer discount, I don't qualify for any sort of employee pricing). I checked the USAA/Zag pricing and it was worse. The conquest rebate was for owning a non-Ford product. I also qualified for the owner loyalty but it was not combinable with the Conquest bonus.
 
It took me about 3 days of straight negotiation with 4 different dealers before I got this price. I would have each dealer beat the last deal. There were more dealers I could have tried, but I was too tired.
 
The Ford finance rates are ridiculous. My score is >800 and I was offered 6.75 for 60 months. I plan on refinancing as soon as I can with Navy FCU for 1.99/60months as there is no prepayment penalty and I don't care if the dealer gets dinged.

I did all negotiating via email and had an OTD price breakdown emailed to me before I walked in. I also had a $750 brochure rebate as well.
 
I also X-plan eligible but rarely have ever needed to use it. I really didn't have to haggle much as the dealer website lits out the factory and dealer rebates and shows an e-price. I basically just tacked on my $750 brochure rebate to the deal and that was it.
