try carsdirect.com for a quote, it will give you some idea.
 
In my zip the target price is $17,077... this is about $375 over invoice (ie base invoice + destination fee + $375) minus $3k in rebates. I would offer $16,700 which is true invoice - rebates if they have the exact car you want in stock, they still make $$ on the holdback...see my post above for the deal I had worked out.
 
It's the end of the month so you should be able to get a nice deal.

19,975 is about 7400 off msrp, provided no big fees or anything. I've seen numerous dealer ads on motoralley.com advertising 6500-7200 off, so you are on the high range (of $ off, which is good.)
 
Trouble is, these discounts will probably be reflected in the blue book values next year, so you still may want to hit about 10 dealers by email fax eom to see if it can be beat before the end of the month. That assumes it isn't the last blue one or whatever within 100 mi or so. If you gotta have it offer 18,500 and play hard to get. You're in the drivers seat. Tell him you're looking at several other vehicles and wifey hates blue. The market has been soft on these vehicles for more than a year.
 
FYI several dealers here in Southern Ohio in May were offering the same vehicle in 05 model year for about the same. (about $7000 off) So you've got a pretty good deal, the fact you got it so easily makes one suspicious there may be more there.
 
If you're into extended warranties or that sort of thing, try to keep any 7 to 8 year, 100 or 120k mi bumper to bumper factory warranties to about $800-1200. Othewise just pass.
 
lotsa luck

the factory financing incentives have gotten pretty good, so check them out.

#263 of 434 $2,500 Customer cash on '07 Escapes by zoltano

Feb 22, 2007 (2:56 am)

I am in the process of buying an '07 Escape Hybrid. The current $2,500 Customer Cash promotion will expire after a week (on 02/28). So what can we expect? Will Ford extend the promotion, maybe even raise the amount, or will the promotion just disappear? (In other words - should I hurry up and buy a car quick??)
 
$2,500 is a lot of money...

I wouldn't worry. These machines haven't been able to move without heavy incentives for over 3 years. Reading the last 20 posts show people getting up to $7200 off MSRP for the $26000 or so Mazda Tribute, with about $1000 less off on the Escape. (not sure about this, but one reason you might want to check out a tribute with better factory warranty and possibly other stuff. Even though there are far fewer mazda dealers.) The 7200 off was about the same for late model year 05's back then also.

#265 of 434 2008 Escape XLT: Should I wait? by captain_archer

Feb 24, 2007 (1:17 pm)

I am in the market for a new 2008 Escape XLT and I know they *just* came out. I want to see if this deal makes sense or if I need to wait. I want the car somewhat loaded but the way I want it configured, it will have to be ordered.
 
Options:
* Cargo Package (retractable cover, lockable storage, roof rack, wet trunk)
* Convenience Package (dual illuminated visors, compass, electrochromatic mirror, keyless entry pad, message center, outside air temp, overhead console)
* Class II Trailer Towing Pkg
* Navigation System w/ AM/FM 6-disc in-dash CD changer, 7 speakers, subwoofer
* Sun & Sound Package: Power Moonroof & Sirius radio
* Integrated Side Step Bars
* Cargo Area Protector
* Cloth seats
 
The MSRP on the website for this configuration in my area is $28900 and the internet price is the Friends & Family price of $27000. No rebates/incentives yet, but there's some special APRs out there.
 
It's exactly what I'm looking for, but the price seems high compared with the numbers mentioned here - but I've noticed the people here tend to prefer much more stripped models. Is this worth that price? Should I move on it now, especially since I'm not in an emergency where I need it immediately? Should I wait for incentives? Will the incentives apply to special orders?
