Change over price was around $24,400, including trade in on a 14 year old Hyundai Accent.

Test drove this & the Mazda 3 yesterday, and both again today.
Last night she was 50-50 between each car, but on the 2nd drive of the Focus, we both agreed it just has that extra special feel to it that the Mazda did not. Engine note, smoother acceleration, interior comfort was a better feel.

Like all pricing, yes there probably was more room to move, could have tried another dealer or 2 (this was the 2nd, the first said he had no room to move at $26K for the car outright no trade in, and had a phone price from a 3rd dealer), but did not want to spend the next week stuffing around during my holidays repeating the same old rubbish just to get pricing, all for a few hundred.

Over all, very happy with the deal, the dealership & the salesman we dealt with who took the time to explain & go through all features & setttings on the car before & during the test drive.
I know a lot of people criticise Ford dealers, but there are some good ones out there..

Looking forward to picking this up at the end of next week!

What dealer was that?
