#1278 of 1943 Woo Hoo, Bigger Incentives from Lincoln by cajun_mike

Feb 26, 2004 (11:17 pm)

I had signed up for the automatic updates on the Lincoln site and I received this email tonight. Their 3,000 incentive has now been increased to $5,500... I feel like I am stealing my 04 Aviator.. The Ultimate RWD with 17 inch chrome wheels, class III trailer hitch, Advance Trac Stability control and Tricoat White has a dealer cost of 41,772. Knock 5,500 off that and it's 36,772. My dealer says he is going to sell it to me for 500 over cost so I am at a final price of 37,272.00.. I am so fired up... I just need to make sure he'll lock me into that incentive in case my Aviator doesnt arrive in time. He told me that the old incentive of 3k was locked in even though Ford is holding all RWD Aviators with Class III trailer hitches until April fifth. I'll be calling in the morning.

#1279 of 1943 rebates by akirby

Feb 27, 2004 (6:58 am)

You didn't read that closely enough. $5500 is only on the Town Car. And to get $5500 you must also qualify for the AARP and owner loyalty cash. Did you specifically check the Aviator rebates and all the fine print?
 
It also says you must take retail delivery from dealer stock by 3/30/04. I'm doubtful the dealer could "hold" that deal for you if you ordered the vehicle and it didn't come in by then. Possible but not likely.

#1281 of 1943 NYC Service Experience? by albell

Feb 27, 2004 (10:34 am)

I am about to schedule my first (5000 mile) service appointment with Manhattan Lincoln etc. Anyone have any experience with them good or bad? Everything is AOK with Aviator, save for some of the plastic/nickel trim coming loose on the center console. Hopefully they will address with no problem, but having dealt with MB service for several years, I guess I am gearing up for the worst .
 
Thanks.

georgefarmer, is your rear axle whine still gone?
 
BTW my MTE is usually around 350.

#1283 of 1943 350 mte by jmez44

350 MTE is amazing. You must do a fair amount of highway miles right? Mine recently got up to like 295.

I just noticed that the part numbers in post #1266 are for the 3.55 rear end, what are the part numbers for the 3.75 rear end (AWD)?
 
MTE? Actually I don't think I do much highway driving, probably 50% or less.

#1285 of 1943 part numbers by akirby

The OASIS bulletin only covered the 3.55. It sounded like that was the only one with a problem. Ask your dealer.

#1286 of 1943 Power at high altitude by e350v10

Mar 13, 2004 (8:33 am)

The Aviator is one of the most powerful mid-sized SUV's available, and we love ours.
 
I've noticed something very interesting though in comparison to my wife's XC90.
 
Living in Denver, the altitude has put a big dent in my Aviator's power!
 
Here are the power ratings:
 
XC90 T6 - I6 - 2.9 ltrs - twin turbo - 268 hp - 280 ft-lbs. torque
Aviator - V8 - 4.6 ltrs - nat. asp. - 302 hp - 300 ft-lbs. torque
 
Published 0-60 times (Motor Trend)
 
XC90 T6 - 8.9 Sec
Aviator - 8.1 Sec
 
They both weigh in at just over 6,000 lbs.
 
You'd think the Aviator would blow the doors off the XC90 with 32 more horsepower. And it does - for the first 50 ft.
 
When the turbos kick in, the XC90 easily catches up and passes the Aviator - and the turbo difference is even more evident mountains.
 
I'm putting a K&N air filter into the Aviator to see if that makes any difference. I think the engine is starving for air!

#1287 of 1943 Turbos by akirby

have an advantage in thinner air because they're force feeding the engine. K&N won't hurt but I doubt it would make up the difference.
