Doesn't Ford have employee pricing on right now? Is the Focus RS not eligible for the employee pricing discount?

So people are upset about cars selling for more than Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price but they will gladly pay less than MSRP and the lesser then better....
That's interesting...

if a car is sold with a mark-up would most sales then get more commission?
i'm guessing you'd need quite the seniority to sell a RS anyways

Depends on the dealer. Sometimes sales guy does get more commission or they just treat it as a full msrp sticker deal.


Most of the time they do get more commission!

I am so fucking sorry.
Did i hurt your feeling because you are a selfish fuck?
Lets put it this way.
If you ususally get pay $20/hr and suddently you have a talent that other employers are willing to pay $25/hr.
Will you still work for $20/hr or you will ask for a raise or find some one else will will pay $25/hr.
You should go bitch at SR because they are selling their 918's 80% more than MSRP.

I'm selfish as fuck because I look out for myself and my wallet/bank account, yet you're okay with salesman selling cars beyond MSRP and have a problem with everyone else being justifiably unhappy? Are you the salesman that's listing the car for $10k more or something :suspicious:? But exactly what part the simple concept of consumers not wanting to pay beyond necessary for a product/service don't you understand?

My feelings are hurt? Clearly not as hurting as the sands inside your vagina.

Ford said they would bring us 12 new sport vehicles by 2020. This year we have seen the GT350R, Focus RS, Explorer Sport and the new 400hp/400tq Linclon MKZ refresh. Later this year we are going to see the new 325hp Fusion Sport and next year the new Raptor and Ford GT.

And similar to the Ecoboost mustang. An ecu flash nets you an easy 80-100 ft/lb of torque and about 20-30 hp. I've been tempted to flash mine, but I went with extended warranty and don't want to void it should anything happen to my engine .

Each dealer was allocated one per year. We just got our 2017 RS which is getting picked up as a type this. We still have 3 in our order bank for 2017 and have our fingers crossed that we will get a second one this year. Rumour has is that the RS will now be available in 2018 and the availability will go from 1 per dealer to hopefully 3-5 depending on location and how many pre-orders they have. Essentially building what is ordered.

Just to light the fire a bit. Looks like the RS500 will be making a return in 2018 with the same 2.3L engine but tuned to just under 400hp. Along with the HP bump it will be a lighter car all around. Lets just hope it will come to North America.

Took one out for a test drive today.

- cool that it comes with a snow tire package and car cover in the price
- the interior alcantara/suede touches make it feel very nice
- although the RS seats looks structurally identical to my ST seats, they are more comfortable (and slightly looser in the hip)
- the suspension in normal/sport is very very stiff. Turn it to track mode and it's absolutely unbearably stiff and bouncy.
- all the things I like about my ST, are just a bit better and more thought out. Things from the steering wheel, USB/12v placement, the tray in the arm rest. They did a good job I guess asking what old focus owners didn't like, and improving it.
- does not come with a spare tire, only a pump/slime kit. That's no good if you damage the tire instead of just a nail puncture...
- clutch and tranny are super smooth. Definitely an improvement on the ST

But.... Dat price doe. It feels great but for my situation it's just too expensive

2018 Ford Focus RS Limited Edition

Back for its final model year, with only 500 vehicles available across Canada, the 2018 Limited Edition Focus RS comes with modifications inspired by the enthusiast community. Unique to the 2018 model, the Limited Edition Focus RS will feature a black painted roof, black mirror caps and a black spoiler with the new RS decal. There are also new interior carbon fibre accents, and improved performance and handling with a new front axle limited slip differential. The limited slip differential will enable the car to achieve increased cornering speeds and faster lap times.

The Limited Edition Focus RS continues to include a comprehensive list of standard equipment including a 2.3L EcoBoost® 350 HP engine, Ford Performance AWD system with Dynamic Torque Vectoring, 19” Premium Forged Alloy Wheels with Michelin® performance summer tires, 18” Winter Alloy Wheels with Michelin® performance winter tires, heated leather Recaro® seats, heated steering wheel, SYNC®3, voice-activated navigation, SONY® audio system, power moonroof and much more.

In response to popular demand, the 2018 Limited Edition Focus RS will now be available in Race Red. The only other available colour for 2018MY is the optional Nitrous Blue Quad Coat paint.

And the price?? $58,888

I was just @ Sherwood Dodge getting an oil change on my truck, was looking at a Raptor and shooting the shit with salesman about my history of cars, he pointed out that they had 3 RS's sitting on the lot and were willing to negotiate price.

Nobody in their right mind should be paying MSRP for an RS right now, there is 124 of them for sale on auto trader, 110 of which are brand new, 44 of which are in Sask/AB/BC.

Anyone who wanted one got one, now Ford will have to work to sell the rest of them.

Works for me, I'm considering getting an RS/CTR/Golf R/Fiesta ST (when it gets a 3-cylinder) about a year from now. It shouldn't be terribly difficult to get a decent deal on one by then, yeah?

You can actually snap up a used RS for a decent price already, I'm sure it's a damn good car.. styling is a bit off for me, but no worse than the new CTR.

Can you actually get one pretty easy now or is it order basis?

Im showing 16 in BC with the majority in strange places like Fernie or Golden. What the dealers are asking for them Im not sure I can just see MSRP. Most dealers still aren't willing to trade them to other dealers. My friend at a different dealer actually bought one at another dealer at full MSRP then marked it up $5K and sold it to a customer wanting one. The demand is still there but when they are in places like Fernie, Golden, Nelson etc...with the dealer not willing to trade most sales people will just say there aren't any left and they will sit there until bought or the dealer is willing to trade out of a small town.

If you were to order one now it would be a 2018 in the Special Edition spec and only 500 allocated to Canada and we already have one in our order bank waiting to get approved. We seem to be quite the popular dealer when it comes to these vehicles because we do not mark them up past MSRP.

one of my buddies just picked up a white one. guy is almost 70 and has money to blow, but took advantage of the 72mo 0% financing. fuckkkk makes me want to trade my ST in so bad. but with all my mods, dealers aren't really interested in my car, and im pretty lazy about putting every stock part back on (i kept every oem nut and bolt of course)

It is realz as far as I can see in the ad. Dealership is some second hand luxury boutique dealer.

Just gonna put this here. It’s not April 1st and it’s not The Onion.

That's not the first time Ford screws its customers. Ask the Mustang 350 boys.

Good part is that they're covering it under warranty. Bad part is, who knows if the updated head gasket is any good.

^ gotta drive for another 20-30k to find out.. and by that time, warranty will be up lololololol

That’s the issue. Lots of shops are doing HUGE amounts of r&d (such as stratified in Richmond) and other shops all around the world. The issue goes way depeer than just the head gasket. Most people like myself aren’t too worried. Well keep it stock and if t blows, it will be under warranty. No worse than Toyota and the V6 head gaskets, STI’s and ringland failure, evo X and fuel pump failures etc etc.

The biggest issue is that ford has been utterly silent for a year and a half to the owners. No credible mention of a cause, a guarantee of recall or extension of drivetrain warranty etc. I was so satisfied with my ST and ford experience. But so far they have handled this issue with their flagship hot hatch so poorly, it’s really shaken my faith. I’m definitely not the only one either

Was linked to an article. I’ve avoided most articles since until ford confirms anything, it’s all here say. But this has been suggested many many times in the past, and would be the best case scenario

This makes a lot of sense since the headgasket shown in that photo/video had an extra hole in it for a cooling channel that didn't exist on the RS engine block.

It would make sense since a bunch of people / shops who saw the “updated” replacement head gasket noticed a bunch of coolant passages were blocked off for the new HG. Still weird

Ford should know how many and which cars were affected. I'm assuming perhaps a batch of HG got swapped by mistake? At least that's what I would like to think. Even then I'm sure it would be a run of certain numbers in sequence they could track down and contact the owners.

Berz out.
