Ford Explorer/Mercury Mountaineer: Prices Paid & Buying Experience

really?
3 brand new '05's still on the lot?
 
you do know the '06 model has many upgrades on it don't you? I would ask him what the trade in value is for the '05 model. If you can get an honest answer out of him that should tell you a little on where his discount should be - of course factoring in the fact that the vehicle is "new".

Yes, brand new '05's. Never titled, original window stickers still in the window and "clearance" banners adorning the windshields. I know of the changes to '06+, but thanks for mentioning it
 
I looked at the KBB trade-in for such a vehicle, and it was coming in around $21K for my region. I would assume an uplift of around $2-3K or so due to the fact that it has never been titled and is still technically "new" (even though the '07s are on the lots now).
 
I guess I will stop by and see what the story is on those units. Thanks!

We just bought it yesterday. The sticker price was $32,755, but I wrote a check for just $29,422.53 ($26,759.20 plus $2,663.33 for tax, license, and fees). Ford has a $3,500 rebate on the 2006 models. They have a nice selection of 2006 models at Santa Margarita Ford in Orange County, CA. We dealt with Cathy and Christopher in the fleet / internet department.

The $3,500 rebate is included in the $29,422. I signed a form allowing the dealer to receive the rebate check. The price I paid was invoice plus tax, license, and fees, minus the $3,500 rebate. I would have bought it without the $3,500 rebate, but was very happy to learn of the savings. Thank you Ford!
