I was shopping for a new SUV last night, and a Ford dealer salesman noticed my Chevy Volt. He then spoke to me about buying a vehicle that I was not looking for - A 2014 Focus Electric.
Look at the deal he offered with absolutely no input from me:
List: $ 29,995.00
Selling Price: $ 27,595.40
Ford Incentive: $ 4,000.00
Ford Financing: 0% for 5 Years (NOT A CHOICE - You get both!*)
Government Incentive: $ 7,500.00
Net cost excluding taxes and fees: $ 16,095.40
I had a neighbor a few years ago who bought a Toyota Prius in a low gas price environment. A year later, gasoline prices had climbed considerably and he sold it for what he paid for it. Not saying that will happen again, but can low gas prices really be counted on in our supply and demand type (world) economy? To say the very least - I am sure those wonderful people in Washington are figuring that now is a great time to increase the gasoline tax.
If you have ever considered an economy car, now may be the best time in years to move forward.
