Default Ford Labor Day Sellathon

I just received this from my former dealer up in NorCal:

Interesting!

It didn't copy perfectly, but you can look past the split-screen and get the idea.




Upgrade Your Ride With Just Announced Super Low Lease Payments!


Note: my nearby dealer down here at my new residence in SoCal, fibbed to me last week; he told me there would [not] be any new incentives or better terms for the Labor Day Sale! LOL

Even (mega) Galpin Ford in L.A., now has Labor Day Sale info up on their webpage; but my local dealer, to the south of L.A. County, is still claiming to be clueless on any special LD sales info:

You do realize that 0% interest costs you up to $5,500 more on the price of the truck, don't you?
Get an amortization schedule and see how much interest you save on $5,500.
Depending on the rate you can get, it can make the plus interest deal a better deal.
Even if the 0% interest ends up being better, it usually is only a couple of handred dollars over the life of a loan.
Making the deal you say you might make only because you get 0% interest, not a wise decision.

i hate how all these advertised deals they run are mostly a scam to get you to just show up at the dealership. it's so obnoxious.

This looks like the same thing they've had for weeks. The $5500 is an XLT with $2k customer cash, $1k financing, $500 5.0, $1500 chrome + convenience + tow packages and $1k trade in rebate.

Edit-okay well this adds to $6k, but you get the point-same old, same old.

Crap, yeah same old same old. I have not had any luck getting a deal on a FX4 so I was hoping this would push it over the edge and make up for the horrible dealings. Guess I am out of luck. Will wait for 2013s.

actually
X plan minus 2000 and then 4.9% works as well but
for me 0% for 24 months on 20k is a steal......
if your financing 20k at 0% (.0056 or something) its still comes out to payback of 20,and some change but less than 21k
its always the amount you finance...not the cost of the ride. unless you get hosed by the dealer not working with you ...and screwing the pooch on you.
my guy knows me well.
my credit union is at 3.75 for 60 so there are options.....
