ok, all I'm gonna say is that any dealer selling a R-Spec for less than $54,000 is losing money, please don't try and screw them, just buy the damn thing! $54,000 is more than $14grand discount from full retail price - end of story

The local dealer had a new ego R spec for sale $54,888 drive away last month which went quick. Currently there are dealers in Vic selling them for the same price.

FORD is its own worst enemy with car pricing by cutting the price by such extremes only makes residual values crap.

Same thing happens with Expensive Daewoo and Ford in that they bring out a model then have a series 1, 2, 3 and everytime this drops the price on the previous versions.

When will they wake up and do like the jap manufactures. Mazda for example have had 3 changes to the Mazda 3 line up but never call them a new series. I think this help hold the resale values.

Exactly!

Series updates are what f*cks new car owners.

I got a staff discount on my old XR6 when I bought it, and it still depreciated like a mutha f*cka after I bought it. I'm sitting there thinking, how does everyone else feel when they paid over $9000 more than me!

I reckon I've lost well over $12,000 in the first 2 months of owning my F6. Just stupid...

Losing money selling at below 54K...

Well lets just say I saw the $$$ at Sydney City Ford, and having spent 10yrs in the distribution market as a sales manager I know a little bit about pricing...

at well under 54K City ford were losing 500$ according to their system costing... They will have backend rebates that wont show if they move enough of the product each target period...

Over and above that, I would not have scored my baby at the price I did - with a black and white piece of paper (you know that thing call an invoice) for well well below a 15K discount if they were losing money...

Transparent sales people I love it - everyone walks away happy...

Ford and FPV have additional discounts and rebates on at the moment over and above the earlier demo rebates to see the rear of the current models leave the show room 2 months out from the new model coming...

as the saying goes - "Never Bull5h17 a Bull5h17er" - "Never sell to your own kind" - and "Never sell to a sales person" - only way this will work is if people are transparent and open to find that happy medium!!!

Its all just about creative marketing!!!

DAGS - GO HARD OR GO HOME - GET THE $$$ YOU WANT THEY WILL DO IT!!!

That's the good part Phatal I'm in no hurry and I wont be worried if I do miss out, I've decided not to go brand new and it'll be ex-demo without the 10k drive off the lot drop.

Only hard part is getting off the couch and goin to find it..... :idunno:

I see what you're saying but when you can buy new for $14k under retail haven't you already won in a way?

BS. I was in no hurry.

BF stock is wearing thin so you need to figure out what you want.

SS utes with different wheels and sitting about 50mm lower look alright.
