The Ford Focus Electric Thread
I've been on the sidelines of buying an EV or Hybrid for some time. Recently I decided it was time to commit and entered the market - Unhaggle report in hand - for a 2017 Focus Electric. I've contacted a dozen or so dealers for both a cash sale or a 3 year, 20,000km lease. My preference is the lease, which given technology advancement and a middle of the road 5 year powertrain warranty from Ford looks like a decent deal. Right now I have 1 dealer offering a cash purchase of $20,536 includes $500 Costco incentive, ON government rebate (assigned to the dealer) and taxes. Only licensing was quoted as extra. This is the base model price - cloth seats, no premium colours etc. It's a 3-4 month order, not a car on the lot.
While the price is (too?) cheap, the dealer isn't in my area and wants me to visit. He's quoting "technicalities" with the lease deal I'm after which can be resolved with a face-face. No other dealer had an issue quoting on a lease (if they quoted at all).
I've been clear and firm that I need a price before I visit any dealership, so given the distance, I'm out. Honestly this looks like a bait and switch deal but if you're in the GTA and want some details, I'm happy to share. Just drop me a PM. I don't think listing the dealer details on the forum is allowed is it?
