New Mustang Price Negotiations
#22
Ford holdback is 3% off MSRP, so a 40K car would be about 1200. Permashield is a total ripoff and money maker for the dealer. However, If you are happy with your car and purchase, that's all that matters. Good luck with your car.
Fleet managers will tell you they will sell a new 2010 for invoice, still making the holdback money, and frequently, as they do now, there is an additional 2000-2500 in incentives in 500. increments to the dealer from ford, as I was told by my local dealer contact for college grads, military, law enforcement, quarter horse assoc. etc. Also, some parts of the country have a 2K rebate. Do some homework in your purchase area and you will save a few bucks if you qualify.

Seriously? You can install factory nav aftermarket? Like with ford parts? $2800 seems pretty cheap.

Also remember this. If a dealer has to dealer-trade in your car, the dealer that ordered the vehicle will get the holdback, not the dealer that actually sells it to you, and 2K under invoice and still make money? yea thats wayyy off my amigo
#26
But, we all know that any decent sized dealership isn't paying the listed invoice price
#27
Would someone be able to shed some light on a previous post? I feel im misunderstanding the x plan concept and just want to be fully prepared when i go to the dealer
#28
in mind with x plan you do not pay any dealer prep cost that preprinted on buyers orders.
Or At least you dont have to bargain about it.

Yep, we do it for people all the time, did it this weekend for a guy who bought an 08 Saleen from us, its pretty simple.. unless! you dont already have sync, then it is a big job that is a lot more expensive.. AJ_68 do you have sync

Not to say it's impossible, but it could get hairy. Imagine adding SYNC to a vehicle without it, and multiplying that by 10.

Just to illustrate, here's the difference:
Attached picture 1 is the Next-Gen Nav centerstack (MY2010 Mustang)
Attached picture 2 is the CID Radio centerstack (MY2010 Mustang)
Attached picture 3 is the GAP ACM Type 3 (Old-nav) centerstack (MY2006-09 Mustang)
Attached picture 4 is the GAP ACM Type 2 (Old non-nav) centerstack (MY2005-09 Mustang)
Notice the older style was more modular--easily swappable with some minor ACM reprogramming? The new ones are way different and require a ton of work.
