Just a little heads up Guys!

This programme is a Trial for Ford, thats why its only available for the Southern Region, and it is proving VERY successful! For those of you who are fortunate enough to take advantage of this offer but are still deliberating, DONT!
We are already trying to source G6E turbos from interstate to fill orders! XR6 Turbo utes are pretty much sold out, other models are also getting critically short!
Ford may or may not change the Vehicle eligilibity criteria in the Future, who knows? But id hate to see people leave things to the last minute, miss out and then bagg Ford/Dealers for not being able to supply!

Just another bit of info..... for those who are classed as a small business, sole trader etc!! you might want to check this out!

Cheers
Andrew!

A quote from one of the most epic movies of the 1980s (ferris bueller's day off)

With respect to a G6ET I say

"If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

[Brute6]

From what I'm hearing, a couple of dealers (two that I know of) are not willing to offer the so-called discounted price. I won't name these dealers, but I know that they are firm that won't move on the deal? This has happened to two people in question - both have approached these two dealers and have got the same result ie won't come down to the "special" price....

Ah isn't that because its handled internally? Employee would just hand in their "lead".

If I was a dealer id be telling people to get nicked aswell, problem now is that the pricing is out which makes it easier for other consumers to know what price range they can play with.

[Brute6]

From what I know, the "friends" have gone to the dealer and put their order in, but already know their base price. And when queried, the salesperson wouldn't drop down to the "suggested rrp". These two people then went back to the "employee" and its gone internal now?

Have these friends been provided with the Purchase Authority form signed by Ford HR?

If not, the employee needs to provide them with it, then the Dealer has no choice but to co-operate.

Cllause 10 of the T&Cs state:
10. Vehicles ordered by eligible Ford Contractors or Approved Purchasers through Authorised Ford Dealerships under the
provisions of the Ford Friends Program are allocated a month in which they will be produced. Any delay between placing an
order and its allocated month of production will vary according to the demand for that particular model.

This infers that the vehicles don't have to be in stock, or even under production yet. Is the dealer able to advise if an ordered vehicle not in stock will be manufactured prior to June 30?

The offer is for models that are already built, with the exception of SY11 Terry's! Which at this stage of the month a dealer cannot change the Spec's!

· All 2007 or 2008 plate vehicles
· 2009 plate SY Territory RUNOUT, excluding SR value packs!
· 2009 plate FG Falcon Sedan / Ute (up to & including April build)
· 2009 plate SY Territory MkII (up to & including May build)
· Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) are not included in this Program
· Offer only available through Southern Region Ford Dealer
· Eligible vehicles must be ordered & delivered between May 1 - June 30, 2009

I guess dealers nor Ford would agree but $4k off a near year old Focus doesn't seem like a lot but I guess its the same percentage or more as the others.

[galaxy xr8]

How does this deal affect if one was to trade a vehicle in aswell, is this deal still obtainable with a trade ???.

it was when i did it. But that was 2006.

[galaxy xr8]

Thanks mate but I'm talking about the deal that Ford has going on now, between may1st and june 30th '09 ??.

[Gobes32]

I still have one more voucher available, pm me if you are interested.

[zetec]

Doesn't affect trades, although you'll only get a wholesale price on the trade itself - changeover will still reflect the hefty discount.

Think changeover, not trade.

[galaxy xr8]

Now just to ask another question, these prices are not drive away prices are they?
what are on-road cost's ontop of these prices ??.

Yep, they did. But I heard over the weekend, that both people now have the deals, and have bought - which is great! Two more sales!

[Gobes32]

Will be interesting to see the next few months sales. People are finding it hard to even find a turbo under the scheme and as for a SY Territory, forget about it.

[galaxy xr8]

I noticed this deal is only for manual for the XR6T, is it still available for the 6Auto in XR6T ??.
