Ford Employee Pricing On Through Holidays

Last month, we told you about Ford’s drastic end-of-year Employee Pricing sale. With a new advertising blitz it seemed like a good time to detail some of the current deals.

Ford has a dedicate Employee Pricing site as well. There you can plug in your zip code and find out what offers apply to you — if you’re willing to submit an email and phone number. This is annoying, but there is a bit of a workaround: In the top-center of the page, Ford is scrolling cars across the page and flashing the employee price for that specific vehicle on the right side of the page. Under the price, click “Click Here For Offer Details.” That opens a little box of text in front of the picture that provides deal details — how much cash back is available, the terms of the deal, that sort of thing.

Lincoln’s and Mercury’s sites are slightly easier to navigate.

As always, check each site for local availability and to be sure offers apply to your region. All offers expire Jan. 5.

Some of what we were able to find is listed below but again, may vary from deals in your area. “Total savings” includes both cash back and employee pricing discounts.

We couldn't find the selling PRICE for the Ford Edge but had no problem finding the "discounts" being offered at the Ford website! This alone cost Ford a sale as my wife got tired of being told a different story by each of the three dealers we visited. Ford's website is simply useless. My wife finally said, "Enough of this, I'd rather have the Highlander." Ten minutes of online research coupled with two phone calls to two Toyota different dealerships and 24 hours later my wife had a new car. It was a toss up between the Edge and the Highlander but Ford made it so difficult to determine the bottom line price that we went with the Toyota.

Ford should fire whomever is responsible for their marketing as it's done very poorly.

If you go to www.fordvehicles.com they have an easy way to check the price of any of their cars in your area.

You just select your model and then click on the "Check Dealer inventory" button on the left of the page. You get in stock cars for dealers in your area. Clicking on a car brings up the list price and all discounts - and what the final cost to you will be. The right tab on the same window lets you see the sticker and what options are installed.

I am looking for a Lincoln Mark LT, I have done my research and found a truck showing on a dealers lot. It's impossible to get the employee price on this vehicle from the internet. Ford is offering a $6500 rebate plus employee pricing. What's employee pricing? I have asked for a price to be e-mailed to me but all they want to do is call you on the phone. I hate talking to car salesmen. I agree with the above poster that Ford's marketing sucks. No wonder their stock is selling for $2.00 a share. I'll go with the Toyota Tundra instead.

Now I understand Ford's marketing does suck and all, but why would you go for a Tundra if you originally wanted that Lincoln? Honestly, you are looking for luxury truck right? While that Tundra may be considered better in some regards, I don't think it has the panache of the Lincoln. I say this in the hope that you would still consider the American made product because I don't think the Tundra fits the bill of a luxury truck.

Some above posters,
How lazy can you get. If you like the car, AND are actually looking to buy it, go to the dealer and find out what the price is. Don't you have to test drive it anyway?

Wow, I didn't know people actually bought Mark LTs. Seriously, at our local Lincoln-Mercury dealer, there haven't been any there since their inception.

Maxwell,
You are wrong about the Ford website providing a way to determine the selling price of it's vehicles. The price that is listed is the MSRP. I tried to figure out the pricing for my nephew who's in the market for a Focus and couldn't do it. After making calls to a few Ford dealers I finally recommended he go look at the Civic as the local Honda dealer posts their prices online. Needless to say I'm taking him down there on Wed for a test drive.

Alex B: No I am not wrong. In fact, I bought a Focus over the web using it, a few months ago. I checked it yesterday before posting.

Right now, you get MSRP. Under that it shows Employee Price, then any rebates on that particular car, then any rebates tied to financing, then the final price, then the dealer invoice price.

If their is someone from ford motor company out there who is reading this let me know. I have made 4 trips to a ford dealer trying to buy a new ford ranger. I keep geeting a runaround on the features I don't want on this truck I am having built. XLT model 4 wheel drive., v6, manual transmission, extended cab, 4 doors, no rear jump seats, no electric windows or door locks, no running boards, want vinyle floor mat, no consel between buckets seats, If ford dont want to build my truck for me then screw them. I am waiting to here back on electric windows as I am writing this. I am about to go buy a HONDA ELEMENT. I will not buy another Ford product again If they wont build this truck. No wonder the american car companys are about to go under. I want a new Ranger. My 1986 has 353000 miles on it and I want to buy another one. But I don't want to jump through hoops to get one. John Linder. Give me a phone number to call someone cares to save a customer.

For the Broq comments out there; i also could not find deals and went directly to a dealership. once there i was told one price for an edge; told them i would think about it and then accepted the offer that same day. however then decided ( twice ) that they quoted me wrong and ended up rising the initial price by $3,000 dollars. so overall experience with ford..... it sucks.
