Thanks fellas for taking a look.
I'm horrible with negotiations and no matter the research I do, it always seem to buckle. It's like they can sense it.
Is there a website where I can go to see dealer costs?
And yes Mo, we did consider getting an 08 off the lot however, the financing rates were too high and if we're going to borrowing money from Ford, we'd like it to no be costing us anything.
I was a little leery of the hand written quote the lady at Discovery gave, so because of that, I'll keep her numbers in my pocket and continue to look elsewhere. See, EVERY dealer we spoke to yesterday both Ford and otherwise, all asked me (not Jennifer) if I had done any research.... as if to establish weather they could gear me or not. So right off the bat I was shaky.
I don;t understand it, i make 30 million dollar presentations to Trillion dollar pharmaceutical companies, and I'm cool as a cucumber when it comes to questions.... Negotiating a car...forget it. i think its because it's one of the only times in life where someone is openly trying to dupe you.
I'm going to try some bigger dealerships next week to see where we're at.
The most openly act of robbery was at Toyota.... the new Venza they have out, was a sweet "little" car and the wife wanted it bad... the interest rates an that particular car (and only that car) was 6.9%! well over 700 dollars a month for 72 mnths. :lol:
