Sounds like you are just begging to go with Tungsten Grey, it's a dark silver with a purplish tint in the evenings, and it hides dirt very well.

Quite frankly, it's the sexiest color out there...anyone who disagrees is probably questioning their sexuality as well...

Vista Blue FTW! And you're right. Maybe I'm not straight, maybe I'm a lesbian in a man's body. lol

Tungsten does look great though, wife wanted me to get that instead of VB. Except that she's not making any part of the payments and didn't help with the down payment either so....

I put 1000 down on a Silver Metallic with red leather today and 18" fan blades. I was able to get z-plan and programs #11504 $1500 and #11510 $1000 plus the early lease retirement.

Is there anyway you can check and see if there are any other plans im elidgable for? Im going in to finish the deal and pick it up tomorrow!! The sales man said something about Program #32628 but didnt think I was elidagble.

Please please let me know!

Hey bud, I just checked out that program for you. Sorry to say, but its not compatible with A/Z Plan sales. Its called "Customer Fullfillment Private Offer". I had to do a normal retail sale VINCENT, as it didn't show up under your Z-Plan sale. Its a direct mailer offer for selected customers. Personally, I don't know why the sales person would even bring up a private offer, especially knowing your buying it under the Employee price. Guess he didn't know what it meant. Whenever you see things like this, most of them are direct mailers and are only for regular retail sales. I get the D-Plan and can't get any of these offers either. Still got $2,500 in rebates, and thats pretty darn good. Congrats on the pickup and can't wait to see some pics.

Okay good - just want to make sure I'm getting the best deal posible

I'm really excited!!!! heres what i got:

Silver Metallic
PTP - Red
IUP
HIDs
Anti-theft
Comfort group
Ambient lighting
Satalite radio
18" fan blades
Charcoal Aluminum Panel

The only thing I didnt want that it had was the satalite radio, but I can deal with that. I didnt really want the 18s because I was going to buy my own set, but they are the only option wheel I would consider so it's ok.

Pentagon Fedral has 4.25% financing for 60months - I asked him if he could match - he was going to let me know in the morning after he ran my credit!

Well the salesman at the dealer says he is "negotiating" with the dealer in Ohio to get the car...so hopefully I'll have it Monday. Would have been nice to have it for the weekend

He said that they could get me 4.84% financing so i might just go through the dealer since it's only 300 bucks over 5 years. I asked him to throw in some free oil changes and I'd do it. He said he didnt know if he could because of the Z-Plan pricing...needless to say I don't trust my salesman, but maybe it's just me.

Hey bud, about asking for the free oil changes? He is right. A/X/Z/D-Plan sales are not to accept any type of gifts. It actually states it in the plan sales guide. Reason being, when you get the plan price, its the same no matter where you go. It makes every dealership "equal" in terms of price. Only difference would be trade value, if a trade-in is in the picture, and how you were treated. Ford sees giving gifts to plan sales as an added atvantage, and hence, one dealer isn't the same, and is breaking the rules compared to the dealers who follow them.
