Focus2.0

I went for Tonic in the end, wasn't sure whether to have a blue or silver, Tonic seemed a good combination fo the both and looks pretty good as well. Held on the alloys at the moment, they had the 17's on the demo and looked bloody good to be fair, but never had the standard fit ones, they said I can have a look at them went it arrives and if I don't like the standard 16's they will swap em for the same price (which I got in writing!!) Happy now.....will find out delivery date on Tuesday, hopefully, but I won't hold them to it, the last one I had was 4 weeks late! NOTE - Must remember to

Good review Den. Drove one myself today, liked it that much I ordered one!!! Spec'd up to the EPS/Traction Control, and sone CD player. Was going to have the Aquarius Blue - but I thought far to much and in your face colour! Going to decide on the colour tomorrow!

Oh and 2 free services to get rid of me cos i'd been in the showroom for nearly 4 hours!! And i think I got flashed by a camera on the test drive!! pmsl

Downgraded from the 2.0 (fuel costs/insurnace/tax etc etc) 1.6 Ti-VCT 3dr Zetec Climate Metalic Paint Sony MP3 Single slot CD ESP/Traction Control Colour, gonna go and tell them tomorrow (can't decide) plus might go for the 17" alloys. Anyway: Car: £13645 Paint: £325 Radio: £200 ESP: £250 Total: £14420 Discount @ 25% (ish) £3605 Paid: £10,815 Not bad me thinks, oh and I think its on for a March 1st delivery.

Let us know hot it goes, im going down tomorrow afternoon, wanted to go in the morning but have to go to work...which is crap!!!

There's no doubt the camera loves Ford's brand new Focus ST. These sensational pictures reveal the car the firm was hoping to keep secret until the Geneva Motor Show in March. It's another exclusive for Auto Express - we brought you the first sight of a disguised ST prototype testing at the Nürburgring back in issue 830. Our pictures of the bright orange show star were caught on a digital video camera, as the car was wheeled out for senior Ford employees. They show how the company has beefed up styling and performance to square up to VW's slick new Golf GTI and the wild whizzpopper Astra VXR

£12,500 that for real :shock: ????? Thats a stupid discount, they're mad!! lol

If i get chance tomorrow I will phone and ask them!!

Don't know, its same with the fleets though isn't it. Remember my uncle had the new shape Mondeo as a company car (a few years back now), 2 weeks before it actually went on sale! All to do with buying power I guess!! Some good discounts though.

Virgin Cars have most of the new models available, all seem to be pre reg 54 plate models, but have some fairly decent discounts. Even if you don't buy from the some good ammo for negotiation!! http://www.virgincars.com/newcars1.asp?make=FORD%&model=FOCUS+%28NEW+MODEL%29%25&vtype=%25&fueltype=%25&min=0&max=1000000

More importantly, did u get a discount?? And did they let you see one! lol

I heard that on BBC News this morning, they was on about Ford in general. I think it was just a figure of speech from the presenter. I dunno how people are buying them, i went into a dealer today, they had two in the showroom, both covered told him i was interested he said he could take my order now, but he wouldnt let me bloody see it!! But he did say there was 3 in the workshop, I can look through the window at them!! Helped me make the decision to wait until to the 55 plate!!!

Thought it may be an idea to list any offers/promos on the new focus that you've heard of from the dealers. Only one I've heard is that Bristol Street Brimingham are offering a free bluetooth kit for the first 100 orders. Apparently no other discounts, think I'm going to wait for a 55 plate!

go fo the prices list download, all the info is on that

www.ford.co.uk Now contains full details of the new focus, specs, technical info, insurance groups, options and full price lists. Don't know how long it has been up for just noticed it today.

Here you go, this will give you a bit more detail: http://www.brooklyn.co.uk/newvehicles/f ... vilege.asp Its a little out of date, Kwik Fit employees plus other can also use it now. Discounts range from 0% to 33% (for a Galaxy I think; it's the highest one I've heard of).

Had my pack (leaflet!!) today. Was hoping for a bit more information but never mind. Although presentation was nice. Might wait a bit longer to get mine, if only 10% hopefully it will increase after the March reg, was hoping for the 23% discount I got last time round! :D

Hi guys, (and girls..oops!) Any of you had any news yet on the Privilege Discounts for the new focus? or; Dealer Discounts or; Had any info (special packs and discounts) sent out from Ford from the - All New Focus - website??? If they havent...what the hell are ford playing at? lol
