Costco Auto Sales show car today

[GrySql]

I was at my local Costco and they usually have a vehicle outside by the front door as an example for their car sales program.

Today's model was a gas Ford Fusion, black with black wheels, it looked sharp.

Check the price sticker sign.

 

 

Premium black wheels - See the 'red dot'?

 

 

Price tag...

I watched an episode of Motorweek and goss garage explained the red dot. Pretty interesting, a road force balancer will point out the spot where to move the tire dot so its round. I like those wheels, are the 18" or 19"?

There has been reported issues with the paint peeling on those wheels.

Those wheels are the 18" Gloss Black Aluminum, which are only available on the gas SE and only with the Luxury Package. The silver version (18" Premium Luster Nickel-Painted Aluminum) of them is available on the Hybrid SE, with the Luxury Package.

Thought they looked familiar, I hd the silver ones on the BD.

Only on the black ones or on the silver ones too? Where did you read about these issues? How have they been resolved?

I wonder what they would price a flex out at. How much under invoice was that Fusion?

It was the black wheels. A member on one of the forums (Blue Oval or Fusion) has reported he is on his 3rd set of wheels and Ford keeps replacing his wheels. There are other posts about the paint peeling off.

I was not previously aware of the Costco auto sales program. Here is the website:

Not really, the Costco program is only worth $2419 under MSRP. The other $2000 are factory incentives that are available to everybody. But that price is pretty much exactly equal to the X-plan pricing.

So it is above invoice pricing and not worth my while investigating. I already know I will get Invoice if I buy a new Flex. I was already shown invoice pricing, the other plan, plan D, I would have to marry his sister.

The way your luck is rolling that might not be a bad option.....

Everyones luck has to change at some point, mine has taken a turn in the right direction tonight, signed the papers on an exact match to what I was looking for in an MKT. A few more days of waiting and all will be back to a sense of normal here. I'm not religious in any way, but thank God for Ford making such a safe car.
