$5000/$3.25 a gallon of gas = 1538 gallons of gas.

Which at 30 mpg is good for 46,000 miles!

Yep....and Jerry on The Car Pro Show (broadcasts from Dallas, but I think syndicated throughout much of the U.S.) was talking about 'the fine print' today and how some dealers are being quite sneaky by listing discounts that not everyone qualifies for (Military, College Grad, LEO) and then are not requesting the proof (Badge, Diploma, etc) until the customer has been in the finance office for hours. The nice thing is the discounts on this Focus all apply to everyone (It still wouldn't motivate me to 'pull the trigger'...fat chance such a discount would ever be offered on a Yaris SE). The dealer is the second highest volume Ford dealer in the Houston Metro, so they might just look at this as 'a cost of driving traffic to their location'.
