2012 Ford Ranger

[teeyoh]

Ahente ako before so I know normally dapat talaga di tataas ng 1%. Kadalasan .5 pa, minsan 0 hahaha. Ang ahente walang kita dun. Usually pag P.O., syempre it depends on the amount financed to calculate for the D.I. but the agent gets only 20% of the 1% D.I. If that's 800,000 amount financed, the agent gets 1,600 of the P8,000 1% D.I. Less tax pa yun since taxable na din ang commission now. Well that's how it was in the dealership I worked for. So I'm saying don't blame the agent kaagad, it's the "stealership" nga talaga pocketing your money

But now that I'm not an agent anymore and the buyer now, we won't be getting a unit demanding more than 1% D.I. Didn't work for Ford but we want this truck haha

so pag bank financing dun may D.I but if cash wala, instead some seat/tint etc from the dealer or in-house insurance... ganun ba yun mga tsikoteers?

yes. commission lang yung ahente. no "Stealership Incentive".
kaya yung nangyari dati sa fortuner di nila sinasabi yugn DI. its between the bank and the dealer. kaya at that time kung di ka kukuha sa kanila ng in house financing(grabe sa taas kasi dun nga sinama yung mataas na DI) e maghintay kang magnormalize yung stock kahit nasa una ka pa.

try to talk to your bank para makita mo ang rates nila if ever you will agree with for example 10% DI. then compared to the rates given to you on normal financing. parang yung rates din nung fortuner nung bago sya.

:poke::poke::kill: ang masama baka nilalagpasan pa nila yung pila ng naunang Bank p.o. pag may nakuha silang in house f. na client,

That's also my thought.... Di ba the reason that you pay a reservation fee is to get in line with the rest of the buyers who want one but stocks are not available? Then why is it happening that those who agree with the high D.I. gets one even if there is a queue? Isn't that unfair and inequitable?

Sana nagpabid na lang sila...

I do understand that dealerships are free to formulate ways to increase their profits. But with this scheme, parang corruption... hehehe

HAHAHAHA. natawa ako dito big time! Ganoon na din gagawin ko kahit hanggang next year pa yan. Ang paghihintay at pagtatyaga maghintay ay magkakaroon ng magandang bunga. ALL-NEW FORD RANGER Wildtrak!

Pero tama nga yung tungkol sa pagpapareserve. Natauhan ako dun kaya kukunin ko na yung reservation fee ko at sila lang ang kumikita. Pang 3 ako sa pila sa Ford Balintawak for the 4x4. Tama ba namang sabihin ng S.A. ko na may dumating silang unit pero hindi puwedeng cash. Edi ako pang silbi ng reservation ko? Sinabi ko ilagay mo na lang sa pila ng wildtrak. Pero irerefund ko na lang sayang din ang pera.

Ford Ranger production in Thailand back to normal after floods
3:04 PM, May 8, 2012*source: news thailand*

Production of the Ford Ranger pickup in Thailand is returning to normal after flooding resulted in parts shortages and a revenue loss in the region for the past two quarters.

“In the last several weeks we’ve started to stabilize Ranger production,” Joe Hinrichs, Ford’s president of Asia Pacific and Africa, told reporters during a visit to Dearborn today.

“But the supply base is still fragile and overwhelmed,” Hinrichs said.

The Ranger is a key global vehicle for Ford, sold in every region but North America. Production was delayed by a couple months when flooding hit Thailand last year just as the truck was launching. Hinrichs called it a significant contributor to the $178 million combined pretax loss in Asia Pacific in the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012.

“We were a couple weeks into launch,” Hinrichs said, when the flooding hit. The Ranger plant was fine but its supply base was hurt badly and many workers had to leave the region.

“We lost a couple months of production,” Hinrichs said, before production was relaunched earlier this year. But the competition also is trying to ramp up – Thailand is an export hub for pickups for many brands – and recovering suppliers can’t keep up with demand.

“Ranger is one of the most important products in Asia,” he said. There were 11,000 unfilled orders in Thailand alone last month.

In addition to the AutoAlliance Thailand plant, a joint venture with Mazda, the compact pickup is also made in South Africa and later this year a plant in Argentina will ramp up.

Hinrichs oversees Ford’s most complex business region, incorporating three continents, 11 time zones and China, the most complex country in the world in which to do business. Into this region Ford is introducing 50 new products and powertrains by 2015.

The shifting government policies and regulations in China are worth the effort to navigate because it is the world’s largest auto market and Ford is moving aggressively to try to catch up to leaders such as General Motors, Volkswagen and Hyundai.

Ford’s April sales of 54,881 vehicles were up 24% from a year ago, helped by the new Ford Focus which sold more than 9,400 sales in its first weeks on the market. Ford started making the Focus in a new plant in Chongqing in February and sales began last month. Ford China has sold 176,274 vehicles year-to-date in China.

By contrast, GM on Monday sold its one millionth vehicle in China year-to-date, Kevin Wale, head of GM China, said in a release, hitting the milestone earlier than ever before. "It has put us on track to once again set a new sales mark for the year as a whole."

GM April sales were up 12% to 227,217 for the month.

Toyota reported April sales in China rose 68% to about 82,000 vehicles and they are at 293,000 so far this year.

Hinrichs expects growth in China to hit 5% this year, up from 2-3% last year, and sustain a 5% growth rate for the next decade. On a market of 18.5 million and growing, that means adding close to 1 million sales a year, he said.

India is the other key region. Hinrichs expects growth of 10-15% in India this year despite instability due to hikes in interest rates and gas prices as well as currency fluctuations.

Meanwhile in Thailand, a petrochemical plant explosion over the weekend that killed 12 in Bangkok is the latest example of the horrible incidents that continue to plague the supply base.

But it should not prove disruptive to the magnitude of Japanese earthquakes, Thai flooding and a resin shortage from another explosion. The Bangkok plant makes components for a rubber compound but is not the only source of the raw material and should not affect production, Hinrichs said.

“It just takes one supplier to have a problem,” Hinrichs said. He says he worries at night about all the plants under construction in his region and the huge supply base that supports the investment. “We have a lot of money tied up.”

If you still have another ride at puede pang pagtiyagaan, i recommend wait ka muna until ma rationalize ang demand.
If others will Wait, bababa ang benta nila at matatauhan ang mga yan. And who knows, baka may dumating pang mas magandang deal or option.

I learned the hard way ng ibinenta ko yung tucson ni misis to get a montero glx. That time, may elantra naman kami as backup car pero atat na atat ako ng malamang may glx sa dealer.

Have I waited a few more weeks, inabot ko sana ang promo ng gls-v, or yung fortuner vnt as another option.
