Default (VICTORIA) Trusted Dealers, Good Deals

OK FFAU-ers! I'm looking at getting a new Ford in the next 1-3 months and I need recommendations as to what dealerships are worth going to and having a chat with. I want somewhere I wont be treated like a second class citizen just because I'm young and therefore 'not serious about buying a car'.

Apologies if there is already a thread on this.

Yes Strapp Ford are site sponsors and while I personally havent dealt with them due to distance, there are many members on here who have and will definitely recommend them. One that springs to mind is XRFPV8 who has just picked up his new BF F6 from them and is wrapt.

I have been dealing with David Nutter Ford in Berwick for a while, my parents have been for a good 15 years. They seem to be ok, the guy I dealt with was Mark Bowen.

Have bought 14 new Fords, most from Gorrells, see Scott Fort. Brother bought car from Bayford Preston, were quite good. I have also bought at Harrison Ford, they did awesome deal on my last car. Stay clear of City Ford and Westpoint Ford, both crap deals and nasty.

There have been quite a few members off the forums who have dealt with Strapp Ford (mostly Burwood), in fact all of the admin and a few mods have all bought cars off them also.

Speak to Sathis, Andrew or Stuart at Burwood

I'd recommend you speak to my business partner Chris Wilson.

I'm putting serious consideration into a Focus Zetec. I'd like to get an XR5 if I can manage it, but worst case scenario still sees me in a manual Zetec with a couple of options.

My only big issues are: When will series 2 come out (either get a runout deal or grab the new model), and what colour to pick in either case!

Checkout the XR6T/Typhoon Forum young Mauz just ordered a BF F6 says he was treated like a king @ Strapp Ford..

Also get a quote from the car broker see who can give you the best deal.
good luck.
