 Ford Fusion - Ford Fusions in Spain only £7200 new - Bazza1603
Just come back from Spain and everywhere is advertising the ford Fusion 1.4 Petrols for EUR7900 about £7200 in our money with Aircon.

I know they are run out models and are not to everyones taste... But why dont we get batgains like that.

ERROR! The site is misleading. That is not a new car so the price you have seen in Spain is very good.

Yesterday's news might explain it:

"Car sales in Spain have seen their biggest fall of the year in June, down by 31.4% on last year. Only 83,385 vehicles were sold over the month, which was the 12th consecutive month to see a fall, according to the manufacturers and sales associations, Anfac and Ganvam. It takes car sales for the first six months of the year back to levels seen 18 years ago."

Certainly a very good price. Here are the prices of the full range of Ford cars in Spain.
www.ford.es/Turismos

My understanding is that unlike the UK the price listed by the manufacturer in Spain is what you will pay or at least very close. They don't have the ludicrous over pricing and haggling dealer scenario we have here.

Not true.

There tends to be an official ist of manufacturers' offers, as attached (oddly, the Fusion isn't mentioned):

www.km77.com/ofertas-coches/nuevos.asp

Then there are dealer quoted discounts or "free" optional extra packages, and then dealer negotiated discounts.

Thus in pricing a VW Polo on the VW website you get the following official discounts/offers:

More Polo €665
Play & Polo package
Radio & speakers over standard
Manufacturers/dealer concession €1415

Then it is up to you to negotiate a price

I didn't mean that there was no capacity to negotiate with the dealer, just that the prices shown on the Ford web site are not very far from what you will pay after any dealing. In the UK on some models you would be looking at 20% discounts or even more. I suspect there will be very little margin on the quoted EUR7,900 for a Fusion

That's very interesting.

Just picking one at random, the PCP deal on the BMW 116d looks very cheap at €129/mth:

Entrada 6.864,19 euros.
35 cuotas de 129 euros y una cuota final de 12.009 euros
TAE 7,28%

I'm guessing the high (compared to ours) used car prices allow the final payment to be set higher therefore the monthly cost looks low?

I assume one could order a RHD one from spain and then import it? Would probably work out at just over £8000. A bargain if you want a well made slightly larger super mini. Out of date now though although probably Euro 5 complaint unless they stopped making them before October 2010.

I doubt they are "made to order" they are cheap because they have loads of them pre made.

Is the Fusion still being made? It's certainly not long for this world with the new B-Max to take its place (although Ford are doubtless hoping for higher sales volumes than the Fusion achieved - Eastbourne dealer excepted). Not that being a run-out model matters to some.

Further investigation leads to this site:

www.km77.com/precios/ford/fusion/2006/fusion-urban-14-80-cv

There is a note in red - "No longer available as new car". So these have probably been in a field for the last 3 or 4 years whilst the banks/lease company have been sorting out who owns them after the "crisis"

Although no longer made in europe I believe the Fusion is still made in India. Not sure if they are imported from there mind you.
