Just came from the local Ford dealer: Trading in 2004 Volvo S60 2.5T AWD and with that trade in got 2010 SE sun roof, sync, apple red for 15k OTD. Is this a good deal?
I am very pleased. The dealership is Flood Ford Group, Naragansett, R.I. They sold two more while I was there the next day to drop off some papers. Identical. Don't know what they went for but my negotiations were pleasant and the dealership was clean and comfortable. As you might infer. I am pleased.

The Fusion may be selling well, it's a great car, but it's not like they are selling on the same level as Accord/Camry. And does anybody think the Fusion would be selling as well as it is if it weren't for the attractive incentives that it's had for a while now?
Has anyone bought one very recently during the 2010 inventory dump? What kind of deals are you getting? Think I could get it below $22K?
(Sorry for editing this 18 times in 20 minutes)
Personally, I would not spend a dollar more than invoice minus rebates because it's the outgoing model year and they should at least do that deal for you.
I did a lot of research, and used all the tips over at carbuyingtips.com and fighting chance, and I ended up getting a Silver 2010 Ford Fusion S for $16,400 (with a $2500 rebate).
Cost me a total of $18,100 OTD. I think I got a pretty sweet deal . A few of the dealers I spoke to said that there was no way I'd get that quoted price because it was too low!
Btw, where do you guys suggest buying all weather floormats for the car? I'm concerned with getting a generic brand as I've read about the floormat pedal sticking issue with the Fords, and I'd rather have the Ford floormat that is anchored to the floor with a hook.
Did you end up getting your Fusion? If so, what do you think? How did you do?
terms: 36 months - zero down - excellent credit - 10,500 miles / year.
quote: $451/ month including PA sales tax or base of $413 w/out tax.
early in the search process. is this a good deal ?? thnx in advance :confuse:
It shouldn't! You should always negotiate your best price first. Then go into cash, finance or lease. The dealer makes the same regardless of how you pay for it.
I called four dealerships and told them I had a firm offer at $14,884 + TTL and would be placing a deposit with them in about 3 hours time, unless they could match it. One dealer never called me back, 2 told me if I could get one for that price then to take it, and one local dealer said they would do it and match the advertised price.
Before driving to the dealer I confirmed the details, $14,884 + Tax, Title, & License (No Dealer prep charges, I don't pay that). I showed up and everything went seamless. Some of the upgraded options would be nice, but I think it is a tremendous value. Simply a great car for less than $15,000. This price was after the $2,000 Ford rebate, meaning I got the dealer to discount $2,294 below his invoice (which I know is not a real number).
Anyway, if you are interested in a base Fusion, I hope sharing my experiences help in your negotiation. I think this a lot of car for the money.

That's a LOT of car for less than $15k. My guess is that the 6-speed manual version of the Fusion S is a slow seller for many dealers, so when they have a bite on one they're willing to slash their profit to move it. Most manual-transmission 2010 Fusions have been the SE (often with Appearance or Monochrome Package). So the S 6MT turns out to be an even better deal thanks to that!
What color did you get?
Again, I'm still happy with my Fusion Sport (its 5 months old now) and the deal that I got.
MSRP: 26,770
Service Fee: 119
Discount: 2,013
Cash price: 24,867
Tax: 1,269
DMV: 164
Rebate 2,500
Final: 23,808
This was the exact car I wanted and I knew there was only two in the nation. The other one had been sitting on a dealer's lot since last November and this one was fresh off the line.

Anyone have any advice on the number I should shoot for on these. Thanks.
$2000 cash incentives + 1.9% APR for up to 60mos *
*$1000 of cash incentive AND 1.9% APR require financing thru manufacturer's captive finance company.
$1000 cash incentive + 0.0% APR for up to 60mos *
**Cash and APR require financing thru manufacturer's captive finance company.
With the $2000 cash incentive deal, the price on the $24,460 car (Tuxedo Black, Pkg 202A) should be around $20,775 to 21,000.
With the same deal, the price on the $23,960 car (Blue, Pkg 201A) should be around $20,340 to $20,590.
I ran the numbers real quick to get an idea of which offer is better- the $1000 & 0.0% or $2000 & 1.9%. I used the $21,000 figure with a $2000 down payment for 60months. With the $1k/0.0%- payment of $360.83/month OR $2k/1.9%- payment of $359.73/month. A whopping $1.10 per month difference???
If you don't qualify for their 'captive finance' deal, you can still get the $1000 Promo Cash and the $24,460 car would cost you $21,775 to $22,000.
Hope this helps...btw, the extra $500 for Power Moonroof is well worth it, IMO. Plus I think the Fusion looks best in Tuxedo Black!
