Default buying a new xr5

Hi guys my son is looking at buying a new Focus xr5 and getting pretty serious. Looking at Jefferson Melbourne $32888 anybody got any suggestions for who to go for best deal and what to expect. Probably go for White with strips as no sure the orange is worth the extra. Cheers Mark

That seems to be about the going rate for the XR5's new. I'm not sure how much you could knock off that proce. Local dealer in Canberra has them for $33k. I don't recall if that was driveaway.

Thanks for that guys . i'll get him to join up as i am already in with the TSeries guys as i have T3 TS but i might have converted him to the blue oval. The price quoted prior to final bargaining seems a good start.

thanks guys i will pass it on, he is out looking today so far down to $32500 on road with leather and strips included, but dealership will register and hold for 28 days so it becomes effectively a demo. Apparently this overcomes Fords requirement, This isnt a real issue as he doesn,t need it straight away. Trying to get too $32k
I suppose in qld they are floating out the door much like country vic.

So he got the orange one? I'm sure he will love it - will that be his toy for the 6 hour?
