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

I'm new here, but I am also interested in the same info as blurb23.

I think he was saying the order cut-off is 5/17, they will still be building 2012's til July.
imccrea, I am also interested in getting a idea on pricing. I am looking at a ST, 2013 Fusion or 2013 Mustang. I am eligible for X-plan pricing. If I furnish MSRP and options can you tell me the X-plan price?

I'm not sure if Ford will do X-plan on the ST but I'd be happy to assist on the Mustang. 2013 Fusion order guides are not out yet so we can't get pricing on those yet.

I'm planning on purchasing (if the pricing works out right) a Focus sedan in about a month or so and had a few questions for you.

What I'm looking at:
- Titanium Sedan (Auto)
- Sterling Gray
- Premium Package, Parking Tech, Moonroof, Handling Package, Navigation

On Ford's website, that comes out to $26,525.

What's the best plan/package I should shoot for to get me the best price? I've seen things about the A/Z and X-Plans, but I'm not entirely sure how they work. For what it's worth, I'm the military so I'm entitled to those discounts as well.

Also, I saw you were saying that the build cut off is 5/17. Does that mean that if no dealerships have what I want in stock (or can't do a dealer trade), I'm out of luck?

There are only 4 in the US equipped like this. 1 in OH, 1 in NJ, 1 in NY, 1 in WA.
You can order a 13 but there could be differences. As for pricing you get the $500 no matter what for military, then there is a $1,000 incentive as well.

As for pricing if you qualify for X plan I would suggest that route as there aren't too many available. You can also order if you want vs taking one from these states.

In my research to replace my sadly totaled Candy Blue Focus I've noticed that the I'm unable to find the Sport Handling with the Job #2 option. Has it been discontinued? I've been searching for a Job #2 with the Sport Handling which has the 18" Alloy Wheels and Summer Tires. It seems that it would be cost effective to get the Sport Handling and purchase winter tires.

Is my search fruitless in finding my replacement Focus with theses? I basically am looking for a fully loaded 5 door Hatch Tit. Would it just be easier to order it at this point?

TIA,
Click

They exist, just very hard to find. Are you wanting parking tech, navi, roof, etc or what options?

There are about 6 within 2,000 miles of me that are job 2 401A with 18" tires in blue candy but they might not have all the options you want. Remember last day to order is 5/17 for a 12.

Thanks imccrea!

My must haves are:
5-Door Hatch Titanium
401A
Job#2
Leather Seats
Tit Handling
Winter Pkg
Moonroof
Nav
Parking Assist (bonus but not required)


Color Choices in order:
Candy Red w/ Black Leather
Candy Red w/ White interior
Sterling gray w/ red interior
Yellow w/ black (can’t find a yellow 5-door Hatch Tit around here in KC so it'd be original)
Candy Blue w/black

Absolutely not Black or White exterior though.

I'll have my insurance settlement this week, so I'm trying to locate something this week; however I'm willing to order if needed to get the Job2 with sport handling if I have to. I've been without my new baby for 2 weeks (not that I could drive anyway bc of injuries). The FF car gets TOPS marks for safety from me. It called 911 when airbags deployed as well as my spouse. Am completely convinced that this is so well worth every penny spent.

BTA: What's the typical wait for an order for the 2012? I've looked at ALL the midwest dealers and only found 1, perhaps there's better luck your way? I so LOVE CO!

Bimmer Bob just placed an order today so we shall see ETA but typically 6-9 weeks. Some will get them sooner but it's hard to say really.
Most colors available are tuxedo black, white platinum, ingot silver with the options you chose. I was able to locate a gray with red guts. MSRP $29,000 that is in AR.

Hi I am looking to buy white/black Focus.
Is there a package that adds rear disk brakes and rear power windows to the S trim?
If not what is the invoice for the SE sedan and rebates for my area.
Is there a dealer holdback as well?

Thank you!
