I picked up my new Vista Blue '08 Escape last night. I haven't had time yet to go over all the buttons and knobs, but I'll get to it. Drives nice and is very comfortable. So far I've only found one thing wrong. The inside trim around the sunroof wasn't installed properly and the edge of the headliner wasn't tucked under. It wasn't hard to slip my fingernail under the trim and pop the headliner edge in place, but it's a dumb mistake for quality control to miss. Also, I find it odd that the owner's manual packet doesn't fit into the glove compartment. Where the heck am I supposed to keep it? The incentives went down between the time I ordered and the time I took delivery, so my monthly payment is a few dollars more than promised, but not much. Overall, not a bad experience. I have to go back next week to get a remote starter installed, since they didn't have time to do it last night. Meanwhile, I have to keep reading my owner's manual to find out how everything works.

Replying to: tpi52 (Aug 03, 2007 7:57 am) The manual packet isn't all that big, so it must be an especially small glove box. I got the XLT AWD, with most of the bells and whistles: Satellite radio Navigation system Sunroof 17" chrome wheels Leather package Tow package Probably other stuff I can't think of right now. I ordered mine and got it for $200 over invoice. Since I didn't have much to put down and money is tight right now (kid in college), I opted to lease for 3 years at 10,500 miles per year, even though I know I'll go way over the mileage. I plan to buy it at lease end. This kept my monthly payments low for these next few college-payment years. They did try to sell me the extended warranty, but I'll hold off and reassess that question when it gets closer to lease-end. I know it costs more if you wait, but again, trying to keep to a budget right now. Ladyblue

Replying to: miamispringer (Oct 12, 2007 10:31 am) Good luck --jjf I was wondering if buying a 2004 Ford Escape in very good condition with 65,000 miles for $7,000 a good deal. I think it is but I just want to see what you guys think. Thank you. |

I'm on the verge of leasing an '08 XLT FWD Escape with leather and sun/sat package. Ford is currently offering $2k off (I also have X-plan pricing), however, the dealer is telling me the offere is only $1500 for leased vehicles. I've haven't read this anywhere in the marketing literature. Am I being taken on this?
