#258 of 322 Re: 2006 Mazda Tribute s AWD [guard] by jfritsch Dec 19, 2006 (4:34 pm)
Replying to: guard (Dec 19, 2006 9:07 am) 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 --jjf   This Tribute has the following options:    CDD - 6 Disc Player FLA - Floor Mats MCT - Rearview Dimmer RSP - Rear Spoiler AB2 - Side Airbags 1TP - Tow Pkg    MSRP: $27,320 Invoice: $25,382 After 3,000 Rebate and Dest charge: $22,789    Dealer is offering it for: $19,975    This looks like a good deal.... any thoughts?

#263 of 322 $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...

Replying to: zoltano (Feb 22, 2007 2:56 am) 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.   Rotsa Ruck   --jjf
#265 of 322 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?

Replying to: captain_archer (Feb 24, 2007 1:17 pm) Scratch that - I took a test drive of the Escape and the engine was horribly trashy! I know the Tribute is its mechanical twin, but now I'm sold on the Tribute. The problem there is, I want the same options but the Tribute (inexplicably!!!) doesn't have Navigation as an option.   What should I do?

Replying to: captain_archer (Feb 24, 2007 5:57 pm) Try getting an aftermarket navi and research this. Since only about 15% of the vehicles out there will be loaded, sometimes $1500 more on the sticker price (or whatever for navi) really turns out to be $2000 or more once you start getting bids. The dealers may not deal as well on them as they are fewer in supply.   I've seen navis at best buy in the $300-$500 range so (and they seem to be more flexible than factory models) you want about $7000 off an 07 Tribute. Get 7 - 10 bids the last week of the month and see what you can work out.   Happy Hunting --jjf
