Just found out that Ford of Canada earlier this week quietly increased the price of the 09 Focus ... which, considering the auto business these days seems somewhat counter intuitive ... but anyway ... + 200.00 on all models and +100.00 on destination and delivery, for a total increase of $300.00 ... some of the options may have increased too, but I haven't looked that closely yet.
2008 Fusion SEL MTX - DD1 * 2009 Fusion SEL - DD2 * 2007 Focus ZXW - R*I*P * 2004 Focus ZTW CD Silver - sold * 2004 Focus ZTW Black - sold * 2003 Focus ZTW Black - sold * 2001 Focus ZTW Gold - sold * 2000 Focus SE Wagon (ZTW option) - Black - sold * 2000 Focus SE Wagon (ZTW option) - Gold R*I*P
2003 Focus ZX5 infra-red Track Rat - R*I*P
2003 ZX5 CD Silver Track Rat - retired, but still in the driveway
New track rat: 2000 ZX3, Atlantic Blue * JRSC with lots more to come
* New Zetec crate motor - NFG - thanks Topspeed *

When I got some warrenty work done last month on my car the price was down. They had a 09 coupe loaded, leather, sunroof, and the 17in black crome rims for $19,500. Same price as my 08 but with a lot more extras...f#ck.

Hmm
Makes no sense without thinking too much about it.
I guess it's kinda like less cereal in the box I buy without me knowing.
Apparently there are a TON of companies doing this.

I'm not surprised, it's an incremental increase on the cost of the car itself, but the increase on the delivery charge works out to what? a 10% increase?
Is Ford saying that they were eating increased delivery costs while fuel was expensive and now looking at recovering their losses when fuel prices have dropped? :huh:

When you can make more by gouging without people knowing better... it's capitalism. When you get caught, it's price gouging. Of course, they'll do anything to keep the shareholders happy at this point eh?
