Hello,

Im new to the forum and I am in the market for an FiST, went and test drove and priced out a base model (White) MSRP is $21740. Salesmen just started off going over payment options with that number, I told him I wanted my payments lower prior to leaving the dealership. He had to do a credit check and what not and plans to get back to me on monday with some financing options. I feel like I can get them to come down a little bit on the base price, but not quite sure. Wanted to hear what people opinions/experiences were on getting one below msrp, and maybe a price that I should be aiming for.

Got a FiST recently from the NC dealer that I work at (so I cant say ALL the details) so I'll tell you what it was without a Ford-Plan on the car. Around the same base price as the one you looked at, $1750 rebate. It actually came out about $30/month less than getting a 2014 model. I really don't believe they have that much built into the price but I think they may budge a little depending on if you're trading your current car or just buying.

Don't ever shop by monthly payments... They'd be glad to lower your monthly payments by extending your loan (which is why they wanted a credit check for financing options) or by telling you to put money down. Get financing at a credit union and deal only with your final out the door price.

+1 I worked it out with the NC State Employees Credit Union. Thats what got the payment down. The dealer was only considering 2014's until I looked into 2015's and financing straight through my credit union. Just look at ALL your options before you let them pull the trigger for you.

This is about right according to what I saw

TrueCar is a good resource to see what dealers will sell the car for, including rebates and such.

I spoke with a dealer in NY and their best deal was MSRP less the $1000 rebate. Hardly an attractive offer.
I had never done TruCar before and I was a little unclear how it all worked but they showed $2300 off MSRP (I believe) but
I was unclear if that factored in the current $1000 incentive, which I assume it did.
Maybe some snow on the ground and December will make some deals materialize.
Quite frankly, I'm ok with any deal (sort of) if it's a decent deal, if that makes any sense.

I just did the TruCar thing (I never completed it yesterday) and they are saying $2288-2760 off MSRP so..... we will see, I guess.

You can download your certificate and it will itemize all the discounts and rebates.

I got my 2015 1 week ago. Ken Grody Ford in Buena Park, CA

MSRP is $21,740 for the base

here's what I paid for the car


and here is my OTD price with 6 year premium warranty and GAP
$21,464.55

 

[djwhiplash2001]

Ouch, GAP and the extended warranty. Good price on the car, but they made their money up

 

[caliboy15]

I really want to get the warranty and GAP so no ouch for me there. Id rather pay extra for extra peace of mind

MSRP is $21,740 and my OTD is $21,464.55

An extended warranty that is exactly the same as the Ford factory warranty?

[stvkaufman]

No. Just a sunroof. That is before the 1,000.00 rebate.

awesome! welcome to Fist club.

The only reason I would consider financing through Ford is with 0% APR (which is what I did). Otherwise, what everyone else here said.
