Fiesta rates from FMCC

[TeamFord]

I got this in an email today, looks like some of the standard FMCC rates for now.
There is also a program that states "Fiesta Movement Direct Offer" that shows $0-3000. These are usually sent in the mail via a large postcard. I did not see any names on it yet so I have no idea what the actual amount will be.

So does "Fiesta Movement Direct Offer" mean cash incentives are coming?

[TeamFord]

Looks more like if you buy anything but a Fiesta, you get a nice little incentive on top of all the other stuff out there. More details to come.

I don't get it.... Why would they call it "FIESTA MOVEMENT DIRECT OFFER", and then offer (potential) discounts on everything EXCEPT the Fiesta????

[TeamFord]

Think about it. They had upwards of 90k "Handraisers". Not all of them are going to buy a Fiesta, so why not give them all some money to buy another Ford product. Some people that test drove probably had no plans on buying a Fiesta. But give them up to $3,000 to buy a Fusion or Mustang and you may sell them one of those.

I think it is a great idea. But I am a Sales Manager at a Ford dealer so of course I would!

[BRGT350]

That discount is for Fiesta Movement Agents only, and the discount depends directly on how many missions were completed. This was an extra bonus at the end of the program that none of us knew about until the program came to a close. If you are not one of the 100 Fiesta Agents, you can't get that discount.

[Mattdoommaster]

Those rates a pretty unimpressive. I can get 4.99 on 60-72 months from my credit union and 3.99 on anything under 60.

[TeamFord]

I agree Matt.. But there may be another incentive down the road you would lose by not going with FMCC. Some vehicles we sell you lose $1,000 off the bat if you finance out of FMCC. And remember, this vehicle will have a lot of first time buyers. Their rates are usually very high, this could make their payment managable.
