U235

What color is it?

I freaking LOVE internet forums. I understand in a PERFECT world all the details would be nice, but I just don't see the difference in finding a specific vehicle as oppossed to optioning one out on the web site and seeing the MSRP is $39,2XX. MSRP is constant, Forddirect is going to say the CAR I want which may not even exist locally is $39,2XX. Thus, is $4,500-$5,000 OFF OF THAT a good deal? I think you're making this more difficult then it needs to be. There are not other variables for me; no trade-in, no loan, etc. I'm talking about a cash deal. The reason I can't do your little 5 minute thing (which I already tried) is that finding AWD cars in Austin is not easy. Hence, I'd need to widen my search or wait for one to show up (there are a couple in my area, but none that meet my options preference). Thus, MSRP is what I'm working with. Since you'll find some reason to flex your roid'd out e-muscles, I will search in another state and provide you: Well crap, I still can't find my exact model, but here's something close (which isn't far off from where I started in my first posts): VIN = 2FMDK49C48BA53810 MSRP = $38,700 Invoice = $36,350 Basically add $500 to that to get to my $39,2XX I got from the Ford website. I don't understand at all how this limited info is going to tell me if $4,5000-$5,000 off sticker is a good deal now when it wasn't before. Thanks again for your help, but seriously, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanax PS - My jokes are meant in good fun and not to be taken personally! Thanks again for the help!

And I've just begun my search and am not going to string dealers on until I've decided I want an Edge. I was just surprised with the deals being quoted over email without any haggle; that was my only observation. I appreciate your advice, and when push comes to shove, an agreed upon price is an agreed upon price, like I mentioned there are some fees that are unavoidable here like sales tax, registration, safety inspection, etc. Besides tax, the rest of the fees total like $100.

Well yeah I'm "assuming" this is with no additional fees besides the typical license, docs, dest charge, docs, etc. I'm also in Texas where the Ford dealers are FREAKING HUGE and everywhere. I think they're more aggressive as when I lived in Los Angeles, the Ford dealer felt a lot like an import dealer. 2008 Ford Edge Limited $38240 -$4482 $33758 That's the last deal I got in email. It's not on a specific car, but for the first email EVER from a dealer it's not bad. Dealers never give their best rate out at first contact. The Edge we want would be: AWD, Limited + Nav + Lift Gate + Moonroof + Tow Hitch I think that's it; we don't want rear entertainment, 20s or the special two-tone leather. I think stickers comes to $39xxx.

I just emailed all my dealers and on a loaded AWD Limited, $38-39k MSRP, I'm hearing back $4k-5k off sticker ($500-$1000 below invoice) from pretty much all dealers. This is without doing more than filling out the request a quote on ford.com. Can I get them down any further? I figured I could, but after reading this forum it seems like I'm getting good deals out the gate. I'd really like to be in the $30-31k which I can definitely do with some option cutting. The fuel economy is the only concern I have at this point.
