Focus RS - what's the deal?

[Wraith]

Price should be 60k plus on roads. Talking to the guys on the xr5 forum, the WA guys have found 80k price tags for some reason with the dealers not willing to go down on price. On saying that, aparently there is a nsw dealer trying similar

It's got to be a case of funny stuff going on - on their part...

If you check the prices on the carsales site, even those from SA they're somewhere in the 60k region drive away...

How can these dealers be asking for more ???

I was at the Sydney motor show recently and spoke to Ford stealers there and the price was exactly the same as stated, ie. around mid 60k drive away, one rep even tried to sell me one on the spot for 65k neat...AFAIK NSW have the highest new car prices, so it dosn't make sense with what seems to happening in SA.

Here's one from WA at $80k http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...eot=1&__N=1246 4294966463 4294966417 4294932651 1216&silo=1011

Apparently some of the dealers don't care when they sell it and have been telling people that if they don't buy it at that price, someone else will. Really good sales tatics lol

Looks like they're just shooting themselves in the foot LOL

This particular person is just trying to milk it if he can...shouldn't be allowed.

All a buyer has to do is go to another who'll sell it for 60 something k...most others are in the lower price range...

I'd like to see the attitude of this particular stealer down the track when a number of RS's will be sitting there collecting dust, they'll do the same as what's happened with the XR5T and give em away for nicks

iv seen all 3 colours and the ford dealership where i worked in SA got 4 cars. 2 green and 2 white and they were all 'sold' then 3 weeks later they were still sitting in the showroom and when i asked the manager he said that allthe sales had fallen through

That is a typical stealer BS story to get interested people to sign up, making them think there's none left !!!

The same thing happens with most new niche car releases...

And that's why also some stealers are trying to get people to pay well over normal RRP...scoundrels they deserve their stealer tilte

that colour looks so much better in photos than it does in real life.

According to the new Motor mag the Focus does not quite live up to the hype......

Looks very washed-out. Plus the rims look rather small in the flesh.
