Sweet, Ill be doing the same, putting 15k or so on cash, so it should give me some bargaining power, I hope I get some good discounts, but only time will tell...

Go to a dealer a friend has bought a few cars off, and usually with recommendations they will give a fleet discount. Hold onto the cash if you have a business or not, take out a hire purchase or loan. The car will depreciate and you can earn interest on your cash. Think about it.......

...and then I found out a relative works for ford and he said to c the sales guys where he works and I did and they said they will look aftr me ..

If you have a rello that works for ford you may be able to buy through ford's employee discount program. It extends to employee's "imediate family" which ford define as parents, wife, husband (including defacto), brother, sister, daughter, son, daughter/son in-law, grandparents and grandchildren. My farther works for Ford and I bought mine throught the program for $35 600 on the road.

But generaly when I buy bigger dollar things I usually shop around to get the best price I can then I go to my local dealer or where I would prefer to buy from and tell them this is the best price I have found and if they can match it I'll buy it from them. Has worked ok for me so far.

This is a 3 year old thread.....

I wonder if 3 years ago he got a discount on the car or not

That's a good point.

3 years ago I got a pretty good discount (as per previous posts), but 2 years ago I got an even better one...8k worth
