Incentives on 2004 Expedition XLT with Sport Package by tbooth2

If you felt you were dealt with fairly on every other level and that the sales experience was a pleasant one, maybe it was an honest mistake and the money should be returned. On the other hand, they've probably already recouped the loss with the next customer.

X Plan Cash & Bonus Cash (Always Fords) by khager

Alwaysfords,
 
Where or how do you find out about the 1K X plan cash and 1K bonus cash. I go to the ford partner web site and search the inventory and all they show is MSRP and X Plan prices and another page on the site shows the 4K rebate, but I don't see no mention of the other 2 rebates. Thanks

what do you think would happen if you went back and said i offered you $500 too much, can i have it back? maybe they'll meet you halfway, or do something to compensate you for their mistake.

Incentives on 2004 Ford by blockislandguy

I suspect that the dealer is right in this case. (At least that's my reading of various Ford offers.) But request a letter from the senior Ford guy in the Zone or a senior person at Ford Finance to confirm.
 
Then take the high ground and offer to return it. But, to make your point that you're an ethical guy and someone who wants that quality recognized, you should ask to return it in person to the dealer principal. If they say, no, he's too busy etc. , I would hold firm that you want to return it principal-to-principal (you ARE the principal in your company or family, aren't you?). Then the next time you have a service issue you can draw on this.

The three rebates were all mentioned on the partners site at the time I bought mine - it was 4k+1k+1k all put together in a chart.

lease end and wear and tear by jim52

I am looking to lease a Lincoln Navigator and the dealer is pushing Wearcare. Is this a good deal or is Ford typically very lenient at lease end?

Going to be an Expedition owner soon by esteves

Getting ready to make a deal on an 2003 EB Expedition 4x4. TBooth2 mentioned to make sure the last six of the VIN number starts with a "C".
 
What's the purpose of this? Is there a certain build date to avoid?
 
Also to test drive it at freeway speed and check for vehicle shake. How evident is this? Significant or you really have to be on a flat road, going straight and really listening?
 
Anything else to look for?
 
Vehicle comes with the following:
 
Rear-seat DVD
Advance Trac
Climate Controlled Seats
Airbag Canopy
Power Rear-Fold Seats
 
Thanks...

A,B,C revisions: A is early build, B is build date before 6/03, C is build date after 6/03. If you look at TSBs for "steering wheel shimmy" and others, you'll find that the fix is only indicated for vehicles built before 6/03 which tells me that whatever was defective has since been corrected or minimized with later builds. The vibration and shake will be fairly obvious. It's not a sound, it's a feel. If after asking for a balance and rotation of the tires before you buy and the symptoms still exist, put your purchase on hold and test drive another Expedition, a GMC Yukon/Denali, Tahoe, and/or a Toyota Sequoia, and if you feel a difference in the ride (especially through the steering wheel and gas pedal), then you might have a problem that will totally frustrate you when you go in to have it fixed (remember, you've already had the tires balanced and rotated, so if it's not that, then what is it?) PS - rear seat DVD is a great option and the canopy protection will make your insurance company happy. Power fold down seats? I guess it depends on how long you want to stand there and hold the button down - as far as I know, it's not one touch. Plus, if you have small children, it could be a safety hazard as it doesn't sense objects in its path. With mine, I just pull the handle up on mine, push, and poof - the seats are down. Hope you get a good one and enjoy!

Thanks for the information.
 
Didn't have much of choice with the power fold seats. With it being end of October, not too many '03 out there with the options and color I wanted. Didn't really care for power fold seats, but oh well. It had all I wanted and the color I wanted, so I went with that. I'll check on the VIN. Thanks for the info.

A Build by esteves

Okay, it looks like an A build. So, your post seems to indicate that A and B builds are the ones that have a TSB out for them and only the C builds don't have a TSB or are you saying that ONLY those with the letter B is the last six digits of the VIN get the TSB.
 
What does A build mean? Early build, meaning built in 2002?
