No problem, ajoag. I'm pretty sure that the numbers that I provided you with is the correct program for August.

Hi gstzman. The truck that you are interested in has a spread of around $4,000 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. The $3,347 dealer discount that you were quoted puts you at around $650 over invoice, that's a pretty good deal on a normal MKX.
The problem is that this is a demo model. The problem that I have with demos is that I usually find that dealers are not willing to provide a substantial enough additional discount for me personally to justify purchasing what essentially is a low mileage used vehicle over an otherwise identical brand new one. I personally would want at least another $2,000 knocked off of this vehicle's price to go for a demo with 4,000 miles on it. At the very least, you should get the dealer to knock another $1,000 off of the $650 over invoice price because this is a demo.

As an older gent, would add a suggestion to negotiation re the dealer mistake. Make sure it was a mistake. Be very controlled and respectful in communications. Tell them that you love the car and this 750 error is making a good thing feel bad. You can't increase your payments and would like to know what they feel would be a fair resolution. Don't throw out the "take this car back card yet" Listen to what they have to say--take notes. Don't accept or reject --- ask to talk with the owner. I'm sure the f&I guy would be pleased to have you discuss his mistake with the boss. Be nice -- you won't give them an excuse to label you as an a-hole. If they ask you what you want make sure you know what they offered. Of course, you want a total pass on the 750. Hope you get it. If you split the difference, I would ask for 4 years of maintenence [oil/rotations/filters] at least for your 325.. Maybe car-man can add a way to offset the 325. Of course I would wait until after I had a respectful discussion with the owner before I'd give a dollar. These guys are used to screamers in the complaint process. You have much more control if you stay firm, rational, and reasonable.
