If anybody is SERIOUS about a purchase through this offer, PM me.
My condition... I will not guarantee an outcome for you as it's only 2 purchases and others closer to me obviously have priority. |

Makes you wonder what price the big fleets (Orix, Statefleet) obtain their vehicles for. I used to hear plenty of rumours about the NSW Police actually making a profit on the sale of their Holden Commodore SS's at auction when the cars were circa 18 months old.

Interesting idea and bugger it, if it moves old stock then who cares its win win (other than some peoples resale). But then again these cars are hardly investments.

So this offer while great for Cash Buyers is not so good if you have a Trade! Also it is only 1 Model! As far as Loyality goes yes treat your staff well & even offer them a few small Bonuses for good work however do not Decide to Clear Stock only to Ford Employees, offer this to all People! Maybe even offer a bit Less of a Discount to more rather than Huge Discounts to Few! As I have said you do a Job & you get a wage, if you dont like it get another Job! It should be ENOUGH to pay a Decent wage FULLSTOP! The Days of all these Extra's for Employees are well & truly over is just that Many do not realise it YET! Is Simple the world cannot afford it! |

Why would the employee/friends pricing on post Mar 2009 vehicles be less than the earlier build cars??

While the offer leaves very little room for negotiation and paying over the odds on a trade in, it still equates to nearly 10k of the price of a brand new, non runout or 08 plate vehicle. We are seeing lots of people trading in their BA XR6's and we are still paying respectable money for the trade-in vehicles. While its not advertised, nearly every car in the Ford range except WS Fiesta and SYII Territory has some pretty hefty discounts. All you have to do is open up the paper to see all the adds form Ford dealers. If you dont like your current job's perks you could always go work for FoMoCo. _2:

Always said I would buy an FG XR6T when they hit $40000 d/a. Better give the AU a polish and put it up for sale :

It's not a "woe is me" comment at all Buddy 1.
I think Ford are treating there employees well and maybe you have to get over it a bit. I definitely don't think they are going broke through these deals and if more cars are out there on the road at least the general public can see them. I've just bought myself an XR6 Turbo and I can't stop raving about it to everyone I see. Alot of people I know didn't even recognise the new Falcon and I was glad to show them around and try to win over a few new customers. That is what Ford is aiming for by these incentives and its smart thinking in my opinion. The more out there the more recognition they will get. Holden are always offering massive discounts and deals. |

If I had a full time job and knew someone who worked at Ford, I'd be keen for an XR6 Turbo. I could get one still but that's house deposit money :( Quote:
Regardless, it's a good idea IMO! |

The days of these opportunities at Ford are NOT over, and Employees and their 'friends' can enjoy this.....if they choose to. You don't have to participate. BTW: Your post.... sounds like sour grapes to me :togo: |

It is not just for Myself I Complain, but for the General Public as whatever way you put it the offers should go to all & not just few who already get paid for doing a Job & should be Loyal anyway & yes the Days of any Company offering huge extras is gone but as I said Many People just do not realise it yet
And yes it is Nice of the few Ford Employeed Forum Members to make the offer they have to Forum members |

Thanks gcg2503, I've been browsing these forums for ages and thought I should finally join. No use in letting these vouchers go to waste.

If anyone has a voucher I am interested. I am in Perth so I guess I would have to pay a visit to Vic and drive back over.
Please PM. I see that the purchase date is 30 June 09 and it also mentions delivery date 30 June. So is this for existing cars or can you put a special order in. |

Might I remind Ford employees to check the conditions of the offer carefully to ensure they're not doing the wrong thing in offering the vouchers to people who aren't genuine friends. As silly as that sounds, I have no idea how they plan to prove either way, but be careful that you're not risking your job in doing the wrong thing. If in doubt, check with your HR manager.
I'd be highly surprised if this is designed to be a barter system or a favour system where the vouchers go out to all and sundry who beg hard enough for a car.

There is no clause stating anything to that effect.
In fact, I'd think they would want all Ford employees to generate as many sales as possible. The whole point of this exercise is to generate sales (but not in an open slather, limiting it to two per employee will keep the volume about right). I'd also think members of Ford-community based forums would be ideal candidates for the discount, as they are most likely loyal customers and will be vocal in getting the good word out about our cars.

Some people need to read the advice given by the mod/admin team and actually pay attention to it.
Keep childish bickering out of this thread, and keep it on topic, or further action will be taken.
