Yes, you can do better. Look at Pentagon Federal Credit Union's site and use their car pricing tool. You should be able to beat that price by a mile. I used X-Plan, and a few other discounts to get my $29,800 MSRP Focus Ti Hatch for $25,200. Also, never buy ESP from the local dealer unless they can beat the site below. I got Ford's 100K ESP for less than a thousand bucks from them.Think I can do better in price. All options besides the parking assist package: winter, sports handling, moonroof. 6/75k miles included for $2250.
Car price is $26255
I asked my local dealer and they just told me to print out the quote and they would match it.Yes, you can do better. Look at Pentagon Federal Credit Union's site and use their car pricing tool.

Lol you think the focus is bad try getting the same options on a mazda or some of the others they get stupid expensive a whole feck of a lot quicker.Geez it's amazing the technology they are packing into what was once considered a borderline economy car. Also how much the price can vary between a base Focus and one that is loaded with everything. I've seen bare bones base Focus' going for under $20k to loaded ones going for over $30K. So an optioned out Focus can be 50% or more over a base model. [eek]
I heard that the price ends up being something like $500 over dealer invoice. Not too bad if you don't want to pay MSRP and don't want to deal with negotiating.I'll second the Costco service. The price I was quoted was much better than what I received from negotiating with a local dealer. Costco will give you your money back if your not satisfied with your membership. So, you can sign up, use the car buying service, and if it doesn't help, get your money back. More than likely, you'll save more than $50 (could be more than $1000) and you'll find other good deals in the store or online with your membership.
If you already have a Costco membership, there's no reason not to give the car buying service a try.
Thanks for the help everyone. Got the HB for $25,999. More importantly, I saved hassle on dealing with my trade-in. I basically had a worthless trade-in, and didn't want to fuss with towing it all over the place to figure out the value or figuring out how to donate it.Mine is a loaded tit with everything except remote start...listed for 28.500...
i paid 25.900 out the door.
Hope this helps!
