The Fusion is one of the reasons why Ford was the only major car maker in the United States that didn't have to accept federal bailout funds in 2008. Ford's history of innovation led the company to invest in fuel-efficiency, more green cars, and these have helped fuel our desire for American-made cars again. Austin is a great place to purchase your Fusion and go longer between fill-ups.
There is a variety of Ford dealers in Austin, Texas, and you can certainly find the right car and the right deal. It may take a little legwork before you are ready to purchase, but that's part of the new car-buying experience. Plan on visiting a handful, or more, of dealers to compare inventory, prices, and financing.
You can also compare salesmen - in this market, there is no reason not to have the most positive, and even fun, buying experience. When you're not treated well, or when you suspect the price you are quoted is not fair, you have the assurance that there is a great Ford dealer down the road or across town that can help you out. The key here is to not buy at the first lot and to diligently complete your list of dealers. Then compare, and then make your decision. It's more work, but you may have a better car, thousands of dollars, a more favorable loan, and a better attitude to show for it.
It is also important to remember that you are not at the mercy of salesmen or high prices. It is your market, and the best way to get a good deal is to know some numbers before hand. You will see the MSRP on the sticker - this is the price that Ford suggests the car sell for. This is not what you will pay. Don't! You may see the dealer's offer, which could be several hundred dollars or even a few thousand less than the MSRP. Should you pay this? After all, it's less than the MSRP, so you must be getting a good price. Not necessarily.
What you really need to know is what people in your area of paying for their Ford Fusions. For instance, the sticker price for a basic, starter Fusion, before options, is $20,420. The dealer cost, or what the dealer paid Ford for the car, is about $17,045. The average paid by Austin car shoppers is $17,490. As you can see this is well below sticker price, and just above what the dealer paid. People in your area have paid about this, or even less, so it is a great bargaining chip for you. And it's good reassurance that if you walk away, you can find a Ford dealer who can offer you a better price.
Not only will the Fusion save you money at the pump, it helps move the country towards a time when we aren't reliant upon petroleum alone. But besides all that, the Fusion is a sporty, terrific car that is sleek, fun to drive, and quite a performer on the road.
