Ex: Fg Run Out Pricing?

[Mish]

What's to stop you from trying to sell it on for the usual price of like low $40k mark? That's a bloody awesome price though!

Is this a deal that ends (the staff discount) or is it on all the time?

[ronburgundy]

Staff have to hold their purchases for 6 months or pay back the discount.

So guys when can we expect the run out sales to start? Before Christmas??

It's easy, especially if you aren't the Ford employee but entitled.

If they ask you if your entitled to staff discount straight up(likely), say NO. Bargain away. Then come back in playing dumb by

saying you weren't actually aware of the discount till now. That's it. If they give you grief about the price, don't take it. The

dealer is reimbursed for the total staff discount portion so to them it is no different anyway!!

This is why they love selling to staff... they seriously make more from staff sales than your average Joe off the street.

Just be hard nosed with them. Falcons are not selling well at the moment(nothing is), so you're in the box seat.

What would actually make you entitiled for a 'staff' discount, if you are not an employee ? Is having a mate work at Ford enough or a family member ? To me staff means you are an employee.

I paid 35k drive a away for my XR6T manual ute.

They werent keen on it but I stuck to my guns and it took about 3 days to get the dealer down to that price.

HI,

To be eligable for ford employee pricing, you need to be either an employee or a direct relative ie: parent of employee, Sibling of employee or child of employee. Ford occasionaly extend the scheme to include nephews and neices, however not too often.

Cheers.

This is what I was wondering about. I wouldn't have thought that just anyone can walk into a Ford dealership and ask them for a staff discount on a new XR6T
