Why You Can Trust CNET Ford's itching to sell off remaining Fusion sedans with killer deals
Generous cash-back and 0% finance deals are all part of the plan to clear out the last of the sedans.
The Ford Fusion is a dead machine as the Blue Oval moves into the future without a single passenger car in its US lineup -- save for the trusty Mustang . But the company doesn't want the sedans sitting around, so it's pushing some aggressive deals on the Fusion for new buyers.
According to a bulletin sent to dealers, which CarsDirect first reported on Monday, buyers nationwide can take advantage of 72-month financing with 0% APR. A 0% rate is already pretty darn good, but Ford will toss another $2,000 back at you if you go home with a Fusion. If you're in California, the 0% APR is good for an 84-month loan, and it covers the Fusion Hybrid and Energi plug-in hybrid models.
Plus, if you go for the plug-in hybrid in California, buyers receive another $1,000 rebate from the government and then an extra $917 with the new Clean Fuel Reward structure. Really, the most fuel-efficient Fusion is the one to get, at least in California.
While it doesn't seem like Americans will actually miss the Fusion much at all, we've heard rumors and seen some evidence the car may come back in a new form. Last year, whispers picked up about a raised wagon of sorts to replace the Fusion. Think something like a Subaru Outback . We even saw Ford trademark the Stormtrak name in Europe, potentially for such a vehicle.
