There is no set rule for mileage deduction for a demo. I use .15 cents a mile.

However, depending on the dealer, some dealers require the individual who has a "demo" to pay for it and what they pay on it can help aid in depreciating the vehicle so they can sell it for a discounted price. This is what normally happens with courtesy/loaner vehicles that are new.

+1

There's not a set discount. Moreso what kind of vehicle it is. It's a double-edged sword because demos have a considerable amount of miles on them but they've never been titled to a private party.

Go to ford's website. You can request it there

I was looking but it doesnt show where to request them

How would that be benneficial to me?

If you are trading you car in its better to work 2 deals. One for the new car and one for the trade. Sometimes a dealer will give you a higher trade in value but them will increase the price of the new car. I always work 2 deals. It benefits the buyer to be informed.

IIRC you just request a regular brochure on the vehicle you interested in and that's how it comes. Not sure on the time frame of when it comes.

X plan buyers get specific coupons too though.

A couple of minutes of searching: http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/brochures/

There is a tab to request a brochure by mail. That should do the trick. I always managed to get mine by requesting one at a car show. For a while every one had the $750 coupon offer (I think Ford's finally figured out I've bought all the cars I'm likely to from them for a while).

As long as you know the number for both before going in, doesn't really matter how the dealer gets to the OTD.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

I disagree. A dealer can low ball you or increase the sales price. The otd price is before a trade, imo anyway. Thats a starting point to haggle on the trade. Dealerships need to remember that everyone is looking for the best possible deal and some of us buy multiple cars. I remember who takes care of me.

Hmmm, I always knew what I would pay for the truck and accept on trade before I stepped foot in the door. If the dealer had to move money from one pile to the other, I never cared and it gave the dealer more flexibility to get the deal done.

I always wondered how that works. How do u work a deal on both? Every time ive even thought about it they ask if im trading anything in.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

So if you could get a better deal for yourself you wouldnt haggle for it? Interesting.


Ken you dont have to disclose you have a trade. I never do, not until i have a price im comfortable with on the new car. I was taught that by a family friend that has been selling cars since he was 18, he just retired from the same dealership after 40 years. He taught me a lot. Wanna know why they ask you "Well what payment range do you want to be in?" Lets just say there is some leeway in what interest rate they will give you.

First, you simply start negotiating on the price of the car you are trying to purchase. When you are satisfied on that, then you bring up that you have a trade and what you want for it.

I won't deny there isn't truth in that, but many don't understand that a shiney new $65,000 truck isn't going to be $300/month with $5,000 down. Many short cut this with a simple question to not waste time and explain what they can accomplish for what they want to spend/can afford.

 

[Strengthrehab]

So when asked about a trade you just say no then say "well now i want to trade this in"?

Intetestingly ive only bougjt one car from a dealership whem a trade was included.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

I tell them, lets just worry about the new car right now. If they balk or try to ask more i just let them know this is how i do business and im more than willing to go elsewhere if they cant work with me.

 

[GallopingFord]

Pretty much what James said. All you have to say is you aren't sure if you are going to sell it and that isn't the focus of the conversation right now. It's pretty cut and dry.
