$771 payment for a Base GT with PP...is NUTS!!

[rvlyssup]

So...just got home from the largest volume Ford dealer in the nation empty handed.

Best they could do was knocking off $100 a month down to $671.

LOL...:nono: NUTZ I tell ya.

 

[VirtualSVT]

that a 36 month payment plan?

 

[rvlyssup]

Nope, 60 @ 2.9%.

As always, $0 down; I've bought 7 cars from them since 2001 all the same way.

Never had an issue with a DBag sales manager...ever. The kid needs a demotion to a porter.

 

[black99lightnin]

what's the price on the car? Autonation in Katy is already marking them down $4K+ off sticker. They have a premium GT, NAV, 20", Recaro's for $38K.

 

[rvlyssup]

Yeah apparently they are still asking over MSRP over here. Kinda shocked considering the dealer moves large volumes of cars unlike the smaller dealers.

 

[Weather Man]

So that would have been roughly $37,500 out the door?

Over MSRP. They'll be $3K-4K rebates in another 3 months.

I'm currently eyeing this car, as I'm sick of constant issues with the Shelby. But every car there is similarly discounted.

Agreed...exactly what I told the dealership.

I reckon I'll have to wait a few more months before I try to pull the trigger again.

The snotty-wet-behind the ears sales manager was an asshat; needs to be retrained or demoted.

Good news is you don't have to buy it.

 

[Rosco P]

The finance office is where the real deep slow surprise butt secks can happen. It is no small thing to have a dealer you can trust.

Automation ford Katy is where I got mine. Base with recaro and pp for 33,377

Those are my preferred options and where I got my 2013. I assume that's before ttl?

 

[BV600]

Got base with recaro and PP for 36,5

Dealers here are still doing this too. That's why I haven't bought yet. I'll wait for incentives. Either that or show them prices from other dealers in the country. There's one up in WA selling base GTs at $2000-$3000 under invoice. Printed those out and I'll take them to the dealers and try again. Like someone else said, I don't HAVE to buy shit. I'll wait for them to make the deal I'm comfortable with. If that means I don't get a 2015 til the fall, so be it.

I guess no one asked...but does the $675 payment they quoted you include TTL and any trade in you have?

 

[black99lightnin]

That's a good point. If he is always putting 0 down, he could be really upside down on a possible trade.

I'm betting you're paying a ton of sales tax in CA. Give Gaudin Ford in Las Vegas a call. They are a vendor here on SVTP and can get you a great deal.

Yep. When talking payment, we need all the information in order to pass judgement.

OP...what is the:

Selling price?
MSRP?
Rebates?
Trade allowance?
Balance owed on trade?
Down payment?
Term: 60
Rate: 2.9

 

[VRYALT3R3D]

Negotiate the cash price of the car first, not the payment............

 

[rvlyssup]

I guess no one asked...but does the $675 payment they quoted you include TTL and any trade in you have?

Yes it would assume so as the $771 included TTL.

That's a good point. If he is always putting 0 down, he could be really upside down on a possible trade.

No trade; our 2 other vehicles are paid off free & clear. No need to give em away. ;-)

Sales tax is 9%.

Seling price is $2k over MSRP.
MSRP is $35620
$0 rebates ($500 cash back or special financing for 60 months @ 2.9%)
$0 trade
$0 down

I agree, never got that far as the sales manager on duty refused to budge on the selling price. His argument was its a hot car and that these GTs have been selling just fine at the price they have been selling them for.

I got a call last night before the dealer closed for the day from the General Manager himself; he apologized for the treatment we got and gave me several options over the phone. Of course, a credit score of 831 helped a lot as well. Came home today with the car.

Meanwhile, he told his sales manager to stay home today; I guess someone did a customer no-no.
