I've been waiting for this day for some time now. Was gonna get an '06 last year but a "reduction in force" prevented me from ordering. So now almost 10 months later I'm ready to order my '07. Here's what I have and the price I was quoted.. what do you think. Is it a good deal ?? I don't have any __-plan to go on just know the fleet manager....

'07 GT coupe premium
Windveil Blue
Dark Charcoal int.
5-spd Man
3.55 gears
18" 64W wheels
IUP satin finish
Spoiler Delete
Side airbags
Shaker 1000
Active Anti-Theft.

quoted price. 29550.. Whadda think ?
Gonna test drive one tomorrow just to make sure. I don't NEED to test drive, but if I'm laying down the cash I want to know I'll be happy. I want to see the seat/check out the shaker 1000... etc. Anyway I'm nervous 'cause I've never ordered a car before much less one so F'n cool. Once I do get the order in the 8-10 weeks are gonna drag by, I just know it.

 

Why not see if you can get an X-Plan pin first. Check out this link.

I'm not sure what the retail is on the car but compared to what I'm paying for my GT premium vert with the equipment in my signature, that seems a little high. Definitely follow the link above and get an Xplan pin. The best part about the Xplan is that you'll know exactly what the car will cost and the dealer can't play with the number, i.e. they can't add "doc fees", "processing fees" etc. The only thing they can do is try to upsell you on things like maintenance plans, extended warranties, "paint sealant" (can you say ultra expensive wax job?), fabric protectant, etc. Just practice the word NO and you should be able to walk out the door for about $50 UNDER the invoice price you see on KBB.com or EDMUNDS.com.

 

OK, dumb question... anyone can get one ? It seems a little weird registering just to get a PIN. Obviously I'm new at this.

Thanks for the tip. I placed a request on the board and so we'll see what happens.

 

I built your car at www.kbb.com and with your listed options the invoice price is 27,750.00 and the sticker price is 30,205.00. The price you were quoted is quite high, most people are getting around invoice even without X-plan.

You can get an X-plan pin by being "sponsored" by a Ford employee, but the rules are you must NOT have contacted a dealership in some amount of time regarding buying the vehicle. Since you have already been in discussions I don't think you are eligible, but I'm not sure about the exact requirements so you might want to ask around. X-plan pricing is slightly below invoice and not all dealerships will honor X-plan.

 

No problem Habu. I had forgotten about this thread until I read your other one. Glad it worked out for you.
