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

I'm curious as well, I will be placing an order soon guess we will probably have to wait until after Oct 3rd to find out.

Have another question: Is the Ford Advertising fee that is listed on the invoice negotiable or not? The invoice I have charges $312 for a ADV ASSESSMENT FEE.

If so, could you price two for me?

1st: Focus SEL 5 door hatchback with 301A package.

2nd: Focus Titanium 5 door hatchback with Titanium Handling Package.

Also, I know this was asked earlier but I can't seem to find the post, can you combine the $500 cash you get for financing through Ford Credit with a X-Plan?

One final question. I've never ordered a new car so I'm sorry about the ignorance, but if I were to build the car online, I assume I just take in the specs to the dealer and they order it for me, correct? A friend of my dad is a Ford salesman here, so I'd like for him to get some credit for the sale. I know I should ask him these questions but it's a little awkward, so thanks for your help!

Unfortunately I don't have the ability to build X-plan deals. You can combine the $500 cash and X-Plan. You can bring your specs into the dealership and have it ordered.

Searching around online, I found mention of end-of-year sales that typically start around November, but nothing about October...

No, major sales dates are Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Last 2 weeks of year.

You should have no reason that you would lose out on incentives since there isn't much of one to begin with.

They are all region specific, you need to call your dealer to verify most of the time but I can plug in based on zip code and tell current incentives.

Dealer is quoting me at $19,000 + TTL am I getting a good deal or do you think I can get a better deal?

Depends where you live, if you are here I'd say:

$18,550 plus D & H, TTL. If you're getting the $3,000 rebate then it's in line. However that vehicle is difficult to find, there are none here.

You and another guy asked same question so I'll answer you both with we find out when you find out. I don't see Ford doing anything special on Focus'.

Nothing on an invoice is negotiable. If it's on there then you're paying for it, unless your dealer will discount XX amount. I.E items cannot be removed.

How do you think Ford pays for all the Drive One commercials?

You'd probably have to ask service sorry.

Canada Winter Package.

Ford.ca shows a no charge Canada winter package that includes snow tires on vehicles delivered before November 30 2011. I ordered my 2012 Focus SEL on June 29th and am still awaiting arrival. I got Ford employee pricing and the delivery allowance. Would I be able to get this winter package in addition to the offers I already have?
