"2004 or newer " means you can refinance from whatever the dealer loan is. That's how I did it. It was 3.49% when I bought in a year ago. Make the best deal including rebates etc with the understanding that you will finance through the dealer. As soon as you get your finance contract, refinance the car through PenFed. Easy peezy.

I don't follow you.
If you're referring to my experience, I bought the car with dealer financing (something around 6%) so I could get all the rebates thereby reducing the total cost of the car out the door. THEN I turned around and refinanced at a rate 2.5% lower. What additional cost? There aren't any "closing costs" for refinancing a car loan other than the time it takes you to fill out and fax the forms.
This method keeps everybody happy (expect Ford Credit). You get the best price and lowest rate. Dealer gets their kickback for initiating the loan. Win/win.

If you want to know the latest incentive details, check www.mercuryvehicles.com and look under 2005 Grand Marquis. Not ideal, but should be close. Or call Mercury 800-521-4140 and ask them directly to confirm the '04 Marauder (Grand Marquis) incentives, because you don't believe your dealer.
So, if you want to finance, the current (2005 GM) incentives are:
--$3000 (and regular financing rates) *or*
low financing rates
--another $1500 off if you finance through Ford Credit

Hey guys and gals,
so much info
How do you keep it all straight? All ford incentives are based on the buyers billing ZIP CODE and yes the prudent method is to take Ford up on "BONUS CASH"$1000.00 additional rebate to finance through Ford Motor Credit.after 30 days you can opt for Paying FMCC off and arrange financing else where.I cant see how the selling $ can be reduced by 13000.00 since even including holdback and profit and rebates arp and all is 11500 hdwrench you must have wore a mask to get that deal

Found what I'm looking for...
Maybe he had miles on his as well....:dunno:
I got my '03 on 2/03 for 8,200 under sticker. I got extra money off for the 2000 miles on the odo.
I just can't believe the prices of the '04's some folks are getting. I used to get kudos for scoring 27,600 back in the day...now I AM jealous.
I didn't use my A-plan, nor my X-plan, because at the time, with incentives, 29,000 was is good as it got.
Financing rates are based on your credit score, and a good financeer will check many banks for the lowest offer. Anything over 700 points, and you're an instant winner.
My loan on my 98 Gran Marquis was an awefull 10% because of a prior credit card fraud upon me from a nice car jacking, wallet stealing moron.....long story...
I manged to get 4.3% on the Marauder. Not good either, when the wife got 3.2% on her LS plus all the incentives. I put 14k down, financed the rest, my payment is 256.56 and I believe I have 23 payments left.
Long story short...I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF AN '03 300A....BLACK!:coolman:

Your dealer is trying to get as much out of you as he can. Talk to the other dealer, get a price, and tell the dealer with the black that for the diff in price the red is starting to look like a very appealing color.slamnmm said:
Take the rebate, and finance threw a credit union. When Mrs TR decided to get hers, our dealer found a credit union that beat our credit unions rate.
Also, there are members here that have good used cars for sale. Some have a good deal of the mods that you will want eventually already installed. Factoring that into the equation, you could potentially save 10 to 15 thousand or more in the long run.
If I didn't already have mine, I'd be jumping all over Buckwheat's first MM. I've seen it run, and I know he takes care of it.

I bought mine in August and got the 5K rbate plus 1000.00 in free gas cards. Is that deal still on?
I would shop around. Don't let them play hardball with you. There the one that needs to sell a car.

I tried to buy a Marauder from this dealer as well, about 6 months ago. Did not seem easy to deal with. I got about the same pricing. Ended up finding a used one that I purchased from another dealer. Funny though, the dealer I purchased the used one from told me I was competing with someone from out of state and that they actually gave me the car for less because I was in state and that transferring title and other paperwork involved with out of state deals was not worth the hassle...who knows.
