Seems like most of the deals in this thread are missing major details..."otd" price is of course what everyone is trying to figure out. But most of the posts here don't mention if you qualified for incentives, original sticker price, what you negotiated down, and if you paid cash or financed, and if you financed what rate you ended up getting.
This was my purchase experience.
I initially reached out to my local dealer who had (and still does have a silver fiesta ST on the lot sticker was $25,700..car has nav, recaros, rado grey wheels, and a sunroof) to set up a test drive back in dec. I did drive the car, and last month went back to the dealer to see what purchase options were and if I was elegible for ford's current 0% fiance rate without a co-signer. I provided X-plan pricing and ended up leaving dissapointed as they pretty much didn't budge on the price, and expected to get a hefty doc fee, and add on vin etching etc. So at that point I had driven the car twice, and decided I did want one but began reaching out to dealers all along the east coast (up to 500 mi from me) to see who was going to give me a good run for business. I got all kinda of numbers across the board, but was not impressed by any of them. I Then drove to a dealer over 60mi from me on a sunny saturday to see a molten orange/molten orange recaro car in person (my 1st choice), but was going only to see the color in person...it was the closest one. I fell in love with Molten orange and decided I was going to order that when I did a search again after coming home I found the exact optioned out car I wanted 150 miles away at a PA dealer. So, I emailed them and ended up purchasing that car.
2015 Molten orange, Molten orange recaros, rado grey wheel pkg, nav and a sunroof. Sticker at the dealer was $26,710. I negotiated down to $25,500, they refused to go lower and I was able to have them throw in Fiesta ST all weather mats and a trunk mat in. I traded in my 2013 Kia rio for $11,500 which was a fair deal. I was eligible for no incentives. I did get 0% financing for 60mos through ford credit. I ended up putting $4k down on the car, as I still owed a little over 3k on my kia...ended up financing $14,XXX and payments come out to $242 monthly.
A trade is kinda a crucial point for most people because it can really effect the tax ultimately effecting the OTD price. Anyways, with what I just posted above I am very satisfied with my purchase. I feel like I got a good deal, and they got a good deal...I'm a ford nut and am glad to finally purchase one new and proud to support a company that is driving forward.
Stupid details that made me even more excited about my purchase...my car was actually built on my birthday, and it was factory ordered with no front license plate bracket, so the front bumper has no holes in it!
