I ordered my Flex on 2 Sep and got it on Halloween morning. The brochure would have expired on 2 Nov.   There have been some parts disruption delays plaguing Flex production - a violent labor strike in India shut production down for a week last month - and that's why I recommended the wait.   I live in IL and got three rebates: $1,000 + $1,500 + $750 = $3,250!   The salesman had never seen one of the brochure rebates, but he checked with Ford's Smart Vincent program and was happy to apply it. The brochure rebate had "May be combined with any other offer>" or some such thing written on the front. It does have to be addressed to you to be redeemed...   I got the invoice - $200 price through the Costco buyer's program. Prices through Costco vary from state to state and might be better or worseOverstock.com has a program if you're not a Costco member, but I don't know what kind of deal they'll provide you with.

Replying to: adb3da (Nov 04, 2009 7:01 am) It's relatively simple. "Dealer Invoice" price (before rebates and incentives) is a perfectly reasonable starting point, and the most you should consider paying for a new vehicle.   From there, your proposal for the "demo" driven vehicle is sheer math. With about 3% of the car's useful life having been consumed, I'd offer 97% of dealer invoice, keeping in mind that the miles driven will have come off the warranty left on the vehicle.   Dealers usually try to pass-off these employee benefit costs to customers, but I wouldn't let them. 97% is MORE than reasonable, and if they start claiming that they'd be selling the vehicle "at a loss", that's the time to thank them for throwing-in their 3% post-sale "holdback". If the dealership wants to let its employees drive its inventory like it's their personal garage, that's the dealer's business; but if he can't afford to do it, he shouldn't.

Replying to: madlock (Nov 05, 2009 1:24 pm) The demo did not have Sync, and that was a must-have for us. We bought a new 2010 Ford Flex SE. We got it with Microsoft Sync (w/o navigation screen), the towing package, and the roof rails. We had them install satellite radio and remote start as well. MSRP was 30,485 + ~1,050 for for the sirius and remote start. We paid $27.5 ($5k down payment) and got 4.64% rate. Does that seem like a fair price?

Replying to: adb3da (Nov 06, 2009 12:00 pm) 27.5 sounds pretty decent for the SE. We just picked up our SEL that came with the 207 package, power rear folding seat, rear DVD entertainment system, trailer hitch, and white roof (sterling grey exterior with black leather interior). Our out the door price with the $2500 rebates was just over $32,800. Tax, title , and licence brought us up to $35,200 but that number will vary per state. You should be able to get something close to invoice right now. Some dealers are still having a hard time getting them off their lots and you might get a couple hundred under while others are selling them a few weeks after they hit the lot and might only give you a couple hundred over invoice. Either way, you should be well under the Edmunds TMV pricing. Check with Ford's loan rates on the 4.64% as they might be able to beat that. We got 3.45 from our credit union and the Ford finance guy didn't even try to get that low but they might get you 4.25% or even lower if you ask.
