Dealers can't get enough cars right now, so they are often getting fairly close to MSRP on these cars. If you wait another few months there might be more inventory and a little more discounting.Titanium hatch, just trying to see what discounts, manufacturer hold, etc.. if any...
base titanium hatch should be about 21,200 invoice. I think incentives for august get finalized tomorrow but I'm no expertTitanium hatch, just trying to see what discounts, manufacturer hold, etc.. if any...
Have the finance guy at the dealership run the numbers as well. When I was ordering, we were going over some finance options and due to the fact that a couple of local credit unions had rates favorable to Ford's, it actually ended up being better in the long run than the $500 Ford financing savings. One was $76 better and the other was $103 better in the end. Not a fortune but a buck is a buck!Do some research and find the dealer invoice. Get as close to that as you
can. Many sources exist to find what dealer pays Ford for your Focus.
Edmonds can tell you pricing.
My dealer sold me my 2012 at invoice (dealer cost). Slam dunk for them because I ordered mine.
But don't feel sorry for the poor dealer. They actually make profit on these cars. It's a long story.
My car with options had a $22,250 Sticker. Cost was $20,643 plus $300 Advertising fee.
Got the $500 off for financing with Ford Credit, and $500 off for College Student rebate.
Drove off for $19,943 plus TT&L.
Not too bad for such an awesome ride.
Dealers are making $1200. Ford makes a lot more than that. They are selling this car because there is a much increased demand for a more upscale small "economy" car.... not because of CAFE standards.You did it wrong! You take the $500 ford financing, then in a month, re-finance at the credit union.
My dealer told me that the margins (for Ford) are slim in this car. There's just too much stuff in it to make more than $1200/vehicle. Ford only sells this car to increase it's CAFE.
Here is a guy who is using his head.take the $500 ford financing, then in a month, re-finance at the credit union.
Haven't done it yet! Those were just the #s when I ordered. They don't finance until it's delivered. I still have time to decide.You did it wrong! You take the $500 ford financing, then in a month, re-finance at the credit union.

You can get X-plan for $40 at EAA.orgYou can join the Mustang Club of America for $50 and get a X-Plan pin (gives you very close to invoice price) if your employer isn't part of it.
I used the EAA for my X-plan pin, the only caveat is that you must be a member for 30 days before purchasing. So if you order the car and join the EAA the same day no problem......You can get X-plan for $40 at EAA.org
Just have to join then get an X-plan pin at EAA.org/Ford
Just be ready to receive a lot of airplane magazines in the mail...
