Replying to: captain_archer (Feb 24, 2007 4:57 pm) 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 |

What is the difference between the Escape and the Tribute? Is it just cosmetics and badges, or is there a difference in the suspension tuning, etc?

The Escape had a terrible ride, the Tribute lacks a navigation system, so I'm settling on the Mariner. Besides, I can't see the resale value of the Tribute being any higher than that of the Escape and Mariner. Plus, I like the Mariner's features more, particularly the interior color scheme. I'm thinking about waiting until later in the year, since these cars seem to need heavy incentives to move. Problem is, the dealers probably won't be stocking the model and options I'm looking for, so I doubt I'll qualify for the incentives anyway. It's coming up to about $30,000, which I expect to be down around $28,000 after X-Plan pricing. Seems high for a compact SUV, and an American one at that! Thoughts?

Replying to: jfritsch (Mar 10, 2007 11:23 pm) ---------------------------------------- I don't know where you got that figure. The Ford dealer I talked to wouldn't go below 0% financing and the $500 rebate. We bought a Mariner. A 26k Premier model with $2200 off on the D Plan and another $1150 rebate. And O% financing.

Replying to: jfritsch (Mar 15, 2007 1:15 am) But the Ford dealer I talked to only offered the $3000 rebate or 0% financing with a $500 rebate. He said if Mercury offered an $1150 rebate, take the deal. And I did.
