Here's something interesting: We have 5 Ford dealerships in my county. One has two locations.
The folks at Crossroads Ford in Wake Forest, NC offered me $4500.oo for my '05 Focus ZX3, SES, loaded with 52467 miles. The next closest Ford dealer - Capitial Ford - offered me $6200 (today) with no restictions on what car I picked - new or used.

Some folks are more hungry than others.

 

Capital Ford is where I first drove a S197, and it is there that I comfirmed what my first car would be. There's a guy there named Sonny Dillinger, talk to him, he's a pretty good guy. Dunno how much it's changed but the last time I went by there, they had the lot packed full, nice to see a decent selection, the dealership here sucks big time!

 

Whatcha getting?

 

It'll start out as a 07 Vista Blue GT Coupe, IUP, 5sp, 18" polished bullits...then I'll add CS front bumper and rear, Roush rear spoiler, Steeda Suspension, Forged Internals, and a Vortech Supercharger, among other things

 

I would guess the guy offering you the 6200 will not come down on the price of a new car as much as the guy offering you the 4500 for your trade.

 

In this case, I would guess it has more to do with the marketability of the trade.
If the used car buyer feels he can move a trade quickly, he can offer a higher price.
The price range given is from very high trade-in to very low. Typical.

 

Why would you not get CHROMED bullitts

 

let us know what prices on the new car the two dealerships give you.

 

Chome bullitts will be nice, if I can find some for a pretty good price

 

They can be factory ordered
It is order code 64A on a GT premium coupe, I believe its a $1000 option.

 

Im not ordering though, I'll save it for the aftermarket.
