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

[grpdranger]

Imccrea,
I have searched this situation and have not found a duplicate. First, I would like to thank you for the wealth of knowledge and information you have shared. It has help my wife and I solidify our decision to purchase the Focus.

My question is that I am looking to purchase in May. I would like a car that has been built in 2012 in the US plant (if possible). Below are the option we want:

White Platinum
Moon Roof
18" alloy wheels
Black Leather
Sync My Ford Touch
No Navigation if possible
No other options


On Ford's website in the build and price area. The best possible match showed as follows:

Base MSRP: $22,305
Total Options: $3,975
Destination Charge: $795
SubTotal: $27,075
Available incentives: -$250
Net Price: $26,825

I was give a quote from a dealer through a friend of a friend for what I am looking for. The price was $25,298 plus 8% tax. I was told that this was the X Plan price (which I qualify for).

I searched around and found a couple of vehicles, one at McMahon Ford for $23,995. Last four of Vin#: 2093 and one at Bill Pierre Ford for $24,489. Last four of VIN#: 8283

Both of these listed prices are below the X Plan that I was quoted. Am I missing something here or do these prices vary this much and it all depends on the dealer? This is a very important purchase for our family. I have been researching this vehicle for 4-6 months (safety, maintainence, issues, customer satisfaction, gas mileage, etc..). I would like to make sure that I am not missing out on any possible savings.

I have been pre-qualified for the 3.9% @ 60 mos or 5.9% @ 72 mos. What rebates would I be eligible for if any that may be applied to the vehicle purchase? We were sent things in that past but, we were not ready to purchase at the time and those cupons are well expired. Our last name is Todd and w reside primarily Arizona.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Any other constructive assitance from the members here is welcome. Thanks.

imccrea,

I'm looking for a 2012 Titanium Hatchback
Sonic Blue
Automatic
401A
Winter Package
Moonroof
Nav
Parking Technology Package
Edited to Add: Stock wheels

I'm fine with either of the 17" wheel upgrades (painted preferred), or without the the parking package, but I do not want the 18" wheels / Ti Handling Package.

My zip: 94086
(And if it saves you time, no need to search any of the Northern California Ford dealerships, I've already looked. :)

Thanks so much!

Is this a hatch or sedan? I'm assuming Titanium or are you looking SEL?

Argh! I may have to settle for gray, then. Or wait a few more weeks and order a 2013 -- as it seems kind of silly to put in an order for a 2012 at this point. Any thoughts on waiting?

Or I guess I could find somebody who didn't get the wheel upgrade and see if they want to trade.

Thanks much!

well I don't imagine 2013 offering much more than a different color or two and ridding itself of a package or combining moonroof + nav for a value pkg. The 12 will have the better rebate when 13's roll out. If you ordered now you could guarantee at least $750 less than the 13.

There are rumors about a 2013 Focus order guide showing up at dealers - any word on this? Thanks.
