No disrespect to dealers on this forum, but Ford NEEDS a direct purchase program. As in buying directly from Ford Motor Company. No middleman means benifits for customers and direct profit for Ford. :bang:

Don't get me wrong, there are ALOT of bad dealers, but a direct purchase program isn't the answer. Refusing to put money in the pockets of bad dealers is the best way to change things. I've read a ton of posts that read: "my dealer tried to screw me for $2,000, i caught him, he saved me $250, i said okay and bought". You want to change things, walk. Dealers lowball customers because customers let them. They do it, you flip, they adjust the price and you still buy. No real reason for them to change.
Find an honest dealer, be patient, get what you want at a fair price. Just my thoughts.

Need an advice. Got a quote from a NY dealer. It's $21,500 for a V6 Premium: Interior Upgrade Package, ABS and tranction control , Front Side Airbags, Manual Transmission,Active Anti-Theft System, Wheel Locking Kits . This is about $1,300 over invoice. Feels like this is too much even for a new "hot" car. What do you gents and ladies think? Anyone knows of a dealer in NY city or NJ who can do better? Thank you!

Alright, i'm too lazy to read through all the posts in this thread so i'm just going to ask my question here.
For those of you who live in the mid-south, that's tennessee, arkansas, mississippi, are you getting any good deals? i've recently talked to two Ford dealerships here in the Memphis area (Dobbs & Homer Skelton) and both said that the V6's were only selling at MSRP and one dealership, Homer Skelton, said that the GT's were going to sell for $2000 over MSRP!!! :angry:
If anyone know where i can go to get a good deal in the mid-south area please let me know! :worship:

I ordered a V6 premium 5spd at MSRP. Does anyone in the San Diego area know of ay dealers doing the $500 above invoice thing, or anything like that?
Looking to save a few bucks or maybe get some upgrades for the price I'm paying now.
Thanks

How's this for a deal? For the exact car I want:
Freedom Ford Mercury.
20,027.46
+ 300 over invoice
Total 20,337.46 + Tax Tag Title...
Does this sound right?
I have it IN WRITING! With Order Confirmation.
But I don't know where Centre Alabama is.

2005 Mustang Buyer,
That sounds like a good deal and Smithtown is the closest dealer to my house. I hadn't like them in the past when bought a used car there. But that was like '98 or so, I think it's changed hands, this was when it was by the old movie theater. Whan I bought my 02 they didn't have much on the lot.
I stopped at McCarville for a brochure and they said they are ordering at MSRP, so I won't be ordering from them.
What did you order(options, color)and who was your sales person? I'm not sure if I'll be buying soon or waiting until spring.
Thanks

I'd never dealt with them in the past but they are the closest dealer to me as well. I got the the same story from McCarville as you - MSRP. Nothport Ford was a complete waste of time.
I ordered a black GT with charcoal interior, IUP, front seat airbags, active anti-theft, 17" aluminum wheels and wheel locking kit. I don't have my salesman's name handy, I left the info at home. The sales manager's name was Debbie, she was pretty knowledgable. I'll post the salesman's name tonight when I get home.
I too was undecided about buying now or waiting til spring but the deal I got was too good to pass up. Now we'll see when it actually arrives...

Eleanors,
Isn't that price from McCarville simply MSRP? I doubt you would have to drive all the way to LI to get MSRP. And I think "Priority: 99" means that it will never get ordered. I got a "Priority: 10" so I'm hoping mine comes in soon even though I just ordered it last week.

I drive to Long Island about twice a year, because we have family and friends up there, so I figured go see family, bring a car home.
My current low deal is $300 over invoice.

Why would you even consider MSRP if you can get it $300 over invoice??

2005 Mustang Buyer,
Thanks for the info, when I'm ready to order I'll check them out.
As far as the problem with the used car purchase it was just a run around on a few issues. One was I was buying an Saab 9000 and a plastic trim piece between the rear lights looked bad, water had gotten behind it and discolored it. When we made the deal they said they would "take care of it". When they found out the price of the part they didn't want to replace it. Then without telling me they had some kid that washed cars for them paint the plastic,it looked like bad painted. I think we ended up splitting the cost of the new part. But, it was the argivation. I also had an issue with an anti freeze smell after I took delivery. Of course they conldn't smell it or find a problem. It must have been a small leak in the heater core, as the smell was faint and intermittent. I ended up replacing the heater core about a year later.
Anyway, this wouldn't stop me from buying a new car there today.
I'm intested in the lime green, but want to see it in person. The ford dealer on 112 shows one in inventory but it hasn't arrived yet.
BTW, when did you order and how long did they say it would take?

My buddys business is across the road. That filthy rat promised me he would call the second he saw one over there. He also said walk before you buy a car there.
