Ford Falcon FPV GT
Price Jan 2008: $$66,590 Price Now: $59,888 driveaway Minimum Saving : $6712 Car prices have plummeted to new lows as desperate dealers work to clear stocks of unsold 2008 vehicles. Bargain buyers are saving thousands on a huge range of vehicles, from cheapie economy cars to high-priced exotics. All sorts of incentives are being used to sweeten deals. Manafacturers and importers are tipping in everything from cash incentives to free on-road costs, gift certificates and free goodies like satellite navigation to help move more metal. "It's all about the transaction price. Forget about the recommended retail price," the spokesman for one major importer said yesterday. One Frankston Ford Dealer said buyer interest was strong. One Falcon GT fan is going to save more than $10,000 on a car that has been in stock for more than six months, while a range of vehicles in the Chrysler Jeep family are going for more than $3000 iff their normal price. Even a starting-price Hyundai Getz can be driven away for $3000 less than it cost a year ago. The price plunge has been triggered by a range of troubles, from the global economic downturn to an oversupply of cars ordered before Australian car sales started to slide down in the final quarter of last year. Demand was down by more than 10 per cent in each of the final three months of '08, but some companies say the real figures are much worse. Some luxury brands have seen showroom interest fall by between one-third to half. Sales last year topped one million vehicles for only the second time on record, but most forecasters have 2009 pegged at around 850,000.
