Arkansas Ford Car Dealers

Hi Mark, The one I'm looking at is a dlx with 5spd, IUP, ABS/TC, SAB, and the Anti-Theft system. The reason I like this, is because the Shaker radio is garbage, and I don't want to pay for something I'll replace anyway. Same goes for the wheels and tires, upgrade would make the Pony Package wheels a waste. This is going to be a project car, so I want to start with as few options as possible, but still want the safety features that SHOULD have come standard in the first place. If you check this link... http://www86.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/Dispatch.jsp?processZipCode=&__action2=- &.CurrentState=IncentivesGrid&processModel=true&selectModel=2007+Mustang&zipCode- =72118&statetoken= That job code restriction is not advertised, so you and I both know that if a customer pushes the issue, they'll most likely win. I'm just curious to see what the holdback would be on that car, and if Carman would be able to work a 24-36 month lease on one. On a side note, I think it's lame that AR dealers won't(not can't)balloon finance vehicles, even though Ford offers it as a finance option...

It's just a logical calculation based off of the current incentives, and what certain dealers have been advertising. I was just using the rebates for the dealer match, could have been more unrealistic and factored in them matching the college discount AND the saftety discount. Had similar negociations to this last year with a Mazdaspeed6, and actually got ready to sign, before the wacky lease complications here in AR came to pass. Also keep in mine, the car I'm number crunching on is basically a bare 5spd V6, except for the SAB, ABS/TC, Alarm, and IUP.

I'm in the process of buying my first new car, Here's what I'm working with 20 yrs old had credit since I was 18 and a 753 credit score, Not that it matters though because this if my first major purpose. I went to my local Ford dealer alone to see how this whole negotiating process goes and ended up negotiating a ZX3(base 5-speed, a/c, side curtain air bags and abs) with a final price of 17,614 w/tax/licencing first offer was $276@ 72 months with $1000 down @ 9% APR. I laughed and nearly walked out. He offered me a ZX3 with power everything, automatic, alloy rims and abs; However, it lacked Side impact airbags which I really wanted. After a bit more negotiating and some of the rebate offers applied, the price lowered to $12,165. Since I never was going to actually buy it I said thanks and started to walk to my car. When I was leaving he offered me payments of $232 @72 months and AR of 7.1%. After reading all this, I think I could have negotiated a bit lower and maybe asked for a lower interest rate. Also as a side note, The original ZX3 I looked att he bare s model, was at a dealers special price of around $10.5k but since I wasn't really there to buy I didn't bring the ad and when I asked to see it, they said they would need to see the ad. The car in the ad was maroon and the only ZX3 there was maroon so perhaps I could have just started everything at that price. I'm really certain I'll be purchasing a focus but perhaps I should hurry before the new 08 comes around and takes away all the rebates. I'll be buying the car in 2 months so should I start submiting internet offers now or later?

Hey CarMan, I'm looking at leasing/ballooning a Mustang V6 right now. I'm in Little Rock, AR, but I've got an address in South Carolina I would use to register the car, because they get an extra $995 in customer cash. I'm going to switch the tags over after registration is complete, so for now, I'll use 29118 as the zip to do the deal. I'm only looking to keep the vehicle for 24 months, until the 2010 model comes out. I'm currently balloon financing both mine and my wife's 2006 Honda Accords, due to the tax laws regarding leasing here in AR. I've already negociated the price of the new cars down to the point where the negative equity added would still make the total sale price of the new cars less than the payoffs of both Hondas, so I'm thinking I should be able to get a manageable payment, but I know that depends on rates and money factors. Another site lists the V6 coupe as having a 63% ALG residual for 24 months, and 52% for 36 months. Total price for the one I'm trading for my use will be $22,025 with all rebates factored in, as well as what I'm upside down in the Honda for. The payoff for 30 Apr 07 on the Honda is $22,090 and I have exactly 23 payments on it totalling $8446 until the balloon is due, which I have no intentions on paying. I'm wondering what my payments would be like on a 24 month balloon or lease, and I'm also curious about the 36 month term as well. The dealership kept asking me who I was financed through for my Hondas, guess they were trying to get an idea about my credit rating. AHFC all the way, and I didn't think the 5.14% is that bad, considering I didn't even have a job at the time, because I had just come back from overseas a few months prior to that. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

The calculation for the X plan is A plan plus 4% plus $150. I am looking at a '05 coupe for my daughter with a $23,240 MSRP, invoice of $21,580 and X plan price of approximately $21,500. Is it worth looking much further in hopes of saving anything more? This dealer it 2 miles from our house and thats worth something. From what I have seen, I might as well go ahead and pull the trigger rather than shop for a month and save $100.
