If you really read something about it in early '07 it must have been in the unconfirmed rumours and innuendo section, like the debate now about which V6 is going in the 2010 Fusion.

There were also posts that contained info from someone on the inside who new about the then current on road testing of the new drivetrains. It was because of this info that i postponed a purchase of an 08 to get an 09. Replies to this message: kam327 (Aug 19, 2008 12:40 pm)
#326 of 384 Just bought an 09 Escape 4WD I4 XLT by baraboodad Aug 08, 2008 (5:15 pm)
Nice little truck, plenty of power now with bigger engine. Quiet and smooth riding. Comfortable seats, good stereo, good mileage in city driving for test drive (test drive was a 2WD, got 22.6mpg with A/C on). Was about $25,500 before $500 rebate/trade-in etc. Can't wait for the one I'm actually buying to be here and ready for me in 3 days. (Was on a different lot in the state).

(look up a used 07) Thats probably optimistic given the market for Suv's etc. See tons of them on the lots around here. Usually sold new frequently for 6000 off msrp for years in july. Can't believe its not more now.   That said there are hardly no posts on this and other domestic forums.   Good luck   --jjf
#328 of 384 2006 Mazda Tribute Price by webwander Aug 13, 2008 (1:23 pm)
Just to brag a bit, I helped my daughter purchase a 2006 Mazda Tribute in December 2006. Undecided for months, we stopped at an Edmond Ok. dealer, and she fell in love with a Steel Grey V6 Model. It had color coded panels, and even had a set of ENKI 18" Wheels. We didn't care about the wheels, so we negotiaged a price without them. It was almost the new year, and they must have been desperate. A final price of $17,890 was agreed on, and it was Friday at 6:30 pm. After dealing with the finance office for about another 1 1/2 hours, the salesman came back in, and asked my daughter if she had a good Christmas. She said it was O.K, Why? He said "Well, you just got four more gifts." What do you mean, she asked? " We couldn't find the key to the wheels," he replied, so they said "just keep them." We left feeling very excited and happy, and after looking on the internet, the tires and wheels were available for about $1200.00 plus shipping. I had to locate the lock wrench for the wheels and send it to my daughter in Florida. Remember, however that the original wheels & tires had a value, and I couldn't talk them into throwing them in too!

Replying to: dc_driver (Feb 28, 2005 10:44 am) Nice looking new, but it seems most of the older ones I see have rusted right through the lower body panels and around fenders.   Being good off road is nice; not leaving a rust trail on the road behind you - priceless.... (at least at resale time)   (My Dodge trucks lasting 10-15 years each, before I got an Explorer, and the Explorer at 5 years - no rust defects at all).

Replying to: lost (Aug 08, 2008 11:35 am) August '07 posts would have done me no good since I researched in June '07 and bought in July '07.

The New Ford Escape and Tribute (msrp 22000-23000) have been 6000 and 7000 off msrp vehicles in July and August for years. How Ford will move them without lots more off now I don't know. Kbb has them at 12000 and change for trade in (07) now but the books have been way off on trucks as the prices drop. At cars.com in my area it says there are 225 available within 30 miles of me.   A 31000 chevy 08 trailblazer has a trade in value (kbb.com) (07) of about $12000+. The 8500 off msrp Gm has as its employee price this week is a joke. There are 175 available within 30 miles of me. All the ads seem to be up to date and on the lots. 15000 off this vehicle is a fair deal.   Good luck --jjf
#333 of 384 Got my 09 this week - Sweet little truck! by baraboodad Aug 30, 2008 (8:36 pm)
Got my white suede loaded Limited I4 09 Escape. Great little truck! Seat feels good to drive in, and tons of buttons to play with, I mean use! Plenty of power to merge on to freeway or get in front of trouble, etc.   Didn't get the pretty but expensive Nav system. But the Voice Sync controls work great anyway. Linked my phone to Sync in less than 30 seconds, works great. Now I never even take my phone out of my pocket to make and receive calls. Love the Audiophile sound system, too!   Koenecke Ford in Reedsburg, WI did a really good job of getting it for us.   Nice job, Ford! http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com/media/townhall/webxicons/- - emotorcons/emo_shades.gif Replies to this message: godwheel (Sep 11, 2008 12:25 pm) drgums (Nov 23, 2008 7:01 am) jfritsch (Nov 24, 2008 12:09 pm) and 3 more... explorerx4 (Jan 09, 2009 4:49 pm)
