haha me too....I paid sticker of 31k or so and thought I was getting a good deal. Imagine having 10k in mod money to start

 

A stripped down GT with a $3000 rebate would be around $20k, but not one that starts to get options tacked to the car. FWIW, this discounting really hurts the resale value of older S197s.

 

I don't know where people are getting a 3k rebate. Its $1500. no more..

 

Here in the NW, the rebate is $1,500, but it varies regionally. Those Brandon Ford GT's at $20,950 were obviously loss-leaders (sold below their cost) to generate more traffic to their store.

My '07 GT Premium Coupe had an MSRP of $30,300, and D-plan was about $27,300 before rebate ($500 rebate at the time made it $26,800 + tax/license), so $20,950 must be a huge loss, even with a bigger rebate.

 

They have 4 more in Monday Tampa Trib,for21,995.00 G/T 5 speeds?

 

For SE MI, I see $2,500 in rebates. $1,000 for delivery by 4/30 and ANOTHER $1,500 for delivery by 6/30.

 

There's $3,500 in rebates for the MKZ and $6,500 in rebates for the Grand Marquis.

 

Good price!

Just for reference, I bought my 07 GT stripper for $22,676 plus TTL w/ no trade in. This was when Ford was offering $1500 cash back and was able to haggle the price to this point (about $700 below x plan.)

 

There was an add in the paper this weekend at a local large franchise for an 08 GT $20,995.00 so I guess it is possible.

 

Maybe it's a South Florida thing, but their adds all over TV with a $2000 rebate and will take another $1000 off if you purchase by a certain date (or something like that).

 

mine was about 31k with tax and AFTER the $500 car show rebate. this was back in 06 and i put 13k down. 1 more year to go still with the payments. 10k for mods would have been SWEET! o well, thats what i get for be impatient

 

Wow, that's a good deal. Maybe I'll get another one just to drive to the airport and downtown.

I just checked X-Plan prices on FordPartners.com and Deluxe 5-speeds with zero options are $23,085 right now. It was $23,900 in October 2007.

 

Some areas only have $1500, the highest I have seen on fmcdealer(internal) is $2500. They probably had the 'price' plus tax tags fees and freight or some other nonsense. By the math it's pretty much impossible that that price included freight.

 

It's all about timing people... Which sucks I guess... You want the now, then you have to pay.

 

My local Ford dealer is also selling 08 Crown Vic LX's for $15,000.
