Has anyone notice that if you do the price configure on the internet how they will charge you the $255 for prestige paint but on the brochures that they sent out to everyone it is a no cost option for the three XR falcons. Which one is correct? Surely they could not charge you for paint if it says in the brochure that it is a no cost option and they have not officially changed it.

Bzzzt!! Sorry. It is a cost option. The brochure is wrong. If you read on the bottom of the brochure it has a line that mentions that Ford can change the spec at any time with out notice....

So the only colours that you can get with our the preseige paint is Red and white...

The dealer either was a bit thick (I doubt it) or they used this $225 for the discount to get your deal.. Even from brand new out of the box in October I have always been quoted for the paint. But I am a fleet customer so all the discount goes on the fleet discount and not stuff like this.. Well done..

IIRC, Prestige paints are the metalic ones.

That would mean that in addition to Venom and Winter White, that Citric Acid and Blood Orange (when available) are not prestige since they are not metalic :thumbsup:

Is Silhouette metalic?

You can get Silhouette in either plain or prestige. I got mine in Prestige which adds a metallic "sparkle" to the paint.

Yeah, that's the nice blue fleck that you get in direct sunlight that last about an hour after you wash it? ;)

Looks really nice.

Mine is through fleet as well, when looking at getting my car I got quotes from 5 Ford dealers and only one of them from memory included a price for prestige paint, not that im complaining

Well it is a "Cost Option" for the XR6/XR6T/XR8, if you have a Fairmont then you don't pay the extra cost, rest of us wear it.

Damn. :thumbsup:

If some of you are not paying it, you're just lucky that you have morons for sales reps :angry:
