Ask a Ford salesman anything (Incentives, Inventory, etc)

Also, just saw the invoice--it looks like my order is a priority 19.

Click receive brouchure by mail and sometimes they will send you a private offer for $750 rebate for buying a vehicle. That way until your vehicle arrives you have 6-10 weeks to find extra dough. Not look for another vehicle.

Good to know! Do the options on that page (when you plan to buy, what vehicles, etc) have any bearing on the chance of getting a coupon?

i had asked for a brochure and what i got was...a brochure :( no coupon

I checked my mail today and guess what I found? A $750 coupon for a Focus. I didn't even ask for one. My question, does the coupon expire?

What's the best way to get a specific car? I'm looking for a SEL hatch automatic in silver. Base model. So far no dealer has been able to find one. On fords partner site (Using x-plan) It only gives you search for 5 different dealerships at a time per zip code. Is there a way to search within a 100 mile radius or similar? I'm hoping to find the car very soon. I have word in with 2 dealers who say they are searching.

My zip is 91607

Generally they have an expiration date of 8 weeks from the time of issue. Read it more carefully. I'd be shocked if it wasn't on there somewhere.

When is it too late to change an order?

I've decided I'd rather pay the extra $500 for the titanium on my Focus order. The order was submitted last week, but I haven't seen a VIN or anything else.

How does that work getting them to LA, California? Is that something I tell the dealer I am working with and they can then get it shipped on a truck or something? And is that the only silver hatchback base SEL's available in all of the US? Crazy.
