okIm an "A" Plan brat myself. My dads been there for 34 years now ) I got my fully blotto 2001 Twilight Blue ZTS, not including Advance-Trac or moonroof (DAMN IT) for $15,000 plus tax, tags, extended warranty and the Protection package costs. Came out to around mid-16,000. I dont think I did excessively bad. Thats with very questionable credit and a 9.8% interest rate and no downpayment. My first BRAND NEW car. hahahaha I think I did alright, though I know I got screwed on the final cost. Oh yeah, I got a 3 year lease too. I got the 5 year/60,000 mile warranty.2001 ZX3, 5-speed. Power package, subsidy package, moonroof. Listed for $15,200 and bought it for $13,900. $12,900 after the rebate.

I got my 2000 SE Sedan for $14,400. It had all options minus auto, ABS, side airbags, and leather. I really wanted the ABS and side airbags but wasnt leaving to wait to have one special ordered - I had already been to 5 dealerships that day and was pretty exited to find one so close to what I wanted.V, when dealing for the car, they are going to be acting tricks on you to make it seem like they cant go any lower. When they say "I have to go check this out with my tutor", make it look like you are unconcerned and have all day - pull out your gameboy or palm pilot and start playing games. Make sure they know that you know what you are talking about, and that the car you are dealing for is a compromise, not the one car you have fagged your whole life looking for. If the car has been on the lot for a while, then its taking up valueable space and they need to get rid of it. If it honest got on the lot, then if they sel l it right away the holdback they get from Ford is pure profit.One other thing I found is that there is an sheet club up in Wisconsin or Minnesota or something that costs 20 or 30 bucks to join but members get X-Plan pricing from Ford.
