Any ideas on what real world Zephyr leftovers are going for?
We have a fully equipped AWD version, Black with Dark Charcoal, featuring the following options:
* 200A
* Power Moonroof
* Heated and Cooled Front Seats
* HID Headlamps
* Sirius Satellite Radio, with 6 months service!
*17" Chrome Wheels
* THX Audiophile Sound
* Navigation System
etc,etc...
This MK Z has an MSRP of 37735 as equipped. You can purchase it for "as low as" 34991, applying the applicable rebate(s). If you opt for Special Interest Financing, the price will increase by 1000.00, as you must relinquish the Customer Cash Rebate in order to take advantage of this APR.

I am using the X-plan here is the deal:
2007 Lincoln MKZ AWD
MSRP $35,640
X-PLAN $33,522.99
Title Tax $1005.69
Dealer's Business Lic Tax $56.99
Title Fee $64.50
SUBTOTAL $34,650.17
Minus Customer cash $500
TOTAL SELLING PRICE $34,150.17
What do you think? I priced out a similiar Lexus and it was about 8k over this.
Rocky
P.S. How many dealers have you tried. I think MAYBE you could do better than your "X" plan.
------------------------------------------------------
Again the X Plan price on this invoice is $35335.80
I figure your taxes and tags for $1146.41 and our processing fee of $249 will total $1395.41 which will then total $36731.21.
With that being said, how much do you think a loaded MKZ would cost? MSRP being 37,885, invoice being 34,614. I qualify for the X-plan, but I'm sure I can get it under that. Do you think 33,500 is out of the question considering it's the end of the model year?
What is the X-plan?

Your approach is probably the way I'm going to go to. I too also looked at the Lexus (ES350 I'm assuming) as it was the only other car that had all the features I wanted. Actually, it didn't have the folding rear seats which sold me on the Lincoln.
I think there will be some cars with the configurtion I want left some the end of the month. There are at least four of them by where I live here in metro DC. I'll let you know how I do.
The ES 350 has had a ton of transmission problems and other issues discussed the the Forums section on the Lexus web cite. Lincoln owners on the other hand love their cars as evidenced on this Forumn.
Good luck with your search, I bought my first new car in VA
many years ago ( '59 Chevy ) from Rosenthal Chevrolet, assume they are still in business. I will be away until the end of the month and then I plan to do some serious shopping.

option a: 373/month with 2k down
option b: 426/month with 0 down
this is in nyc.
any thoughts or advice?
Very disappointing that a manufacturer with such a great car would have such confusing and some would say deceptive advertising practices.
Sync adds 395 to to the MSRP for "Frod 2" cars shipped with it installed. Edmonds is silent on the issue.
Great car, but disappointing buying experience.
I guess it makes perfect sense in this time of skyrocketing gas prices to cancel the pickup with the best gas mileage of any in it's class? Or maybe they're losing money on every one they build? Or maybe it's a smokescreen til they can build a new plant in Mexico, Brazil or India? I'm sure they have a better idea.
Might be a good price, if the vehicle has a higher MSRP, and not a base vehicle.
Two different T'Birds - gone
Lincoln LS - history
Three different Taurus's - gone but revived so I bought a new one (likely killed again)
Three different Rangers - soon to be gone
The rotting on the vine of the Ranger and it's ultimate demise really ticks me off. My 2001 is an excellent little truck. My '85 and '92 were both like trusted friends and each gave me exceptional service. The 2008s are just like the 2001 but the competition has left them behind. Tragic end to a vehicle with a great history.
Why am I talking about this on the MKZ price forum? Sorry guys. Back to MKZ pricing.....
Thanks
I don't own an MKZ and only drove one once but they very well may not be quite as silky smooth as your Avalon.....
$ 28,695.00
Plus Tax, Tags, License
This includes the $ 1,000.00 Customer rebate.
Hope this helps.
I will have it checked out at first maintance schedule.
Have you had it checked with dealer? Will appricate any info. I will relay the same to you.
Have you tried Sync with Text Messaging?, Bluetooth seems ok, but Verbal text reading limited to very few cell phones.
I have been told "STANDARDS" have not been set up by all wireless carriers yet. Up -grades will be avilable for Sync in future.
Thank You
Sync does not support my new blackberry for text messages. Yes, upgrades through USB will be made available (at least that's what we're being told!). But the music and bluetooth features are pretty awesome so far!
I found it extremely annoying. I should have taken a longer, more thorough test drive before I leased it. Had I realized this I would not have leased it. It probably doesn't bother most people but I am a musician so I have a sensitivity to vibrations & frequency oscillation. Also: I had the heat up higher than I normally wood & my head was cold due to a slight draft coming from the moon roof.
Paul Cerame Ford/Mercury/Lincoln in St. Louis, MO.
Edmunds review is out of date, as this model not only has Bluetooth capability, but it is voice activated. It also has back up sensing standard.
Ford has some type of rebate program - I believe $1,750 was the amount knocked off my price (can't recall the negotiated price, its in the car, car in pouring rain..., but was $35,400??)
I'm gonna see if I can get a few dealerships to compete with each other and maybe I'll end up with the THX system for just a few bucks more. I'd feel good with an out the door price of 29,500
Last Friday the salesman offered (not in stock) an MKZ AWD with HIDs, THX, no other options for $500 per month. all other terms the same as in my prior post.
Monday, he called me to say he had one with ultimate pack in stock and could go for $486 per month. Why, I asked? Because the weekend was bad and he needed to sell a car.
You need:
Publicly Available Items
MSRP
Invoice Price
Current Manufacturer Residual
Current Manufacturer Lease Factor
Items particular to your deal
Selling price (in these car buying times you should be around invoice on most cars)
Lease factor dealer is quoting you (dealers can mark this up)
Dealer doc fees
Local sales tax, and whether you pay up front or every month.
Out of pocket money up front.

I got a similar loaded 07 about a year ago for about 32,500, so you should be able to beat that by a lot.
So the car comes out of the shop a week and a half later....
before the warranty expires and it falls apart on me i drive right across the street to the cadillac dealor and trade it in. This will be the last time a buy a ford product.
now i know why ford is going bankrupt.
