hi, i am planning to buy an 08' Escape Hybrid, Fwd probably on memorial weekend. i have not yet seen one with leather or with a nav system. - the dealers in SoCal only have like one or two FEH's each- if anybody could comment on look/feel of the leather vs cloth and also the nav system -- i can;t see myself ever needing the nav for directions/gps but the hybrid monitor information seems cool and perhaps helpful. comments from anybody who has one? thanks for any feedback

Replying to: jm40 (May 20, 2007 7:04 pm) Jury is still out on the Nav. Only had the car for three days and the things I already hate about nav are: 1) Priced too high (way too much for nav but I am a tech nerd so I need my gadgets). 2) Stupid on screen warning/disclaimer every time you start the car that requires you to hit accept. Lawyers must have insisted on that. really annoying and serves no purpose after I have read it once. 3) Nav unit's functionality is severely limited while car is in motion. They do this for safety reasons so the driver doesn't fumble w/ the device while driving, but this restriction means that even the passenger can't set it while in motion. Positive things for nav are that once it is set (while you are stopped), it works rather well. I also feel that the center dash looks cheap and has too much plastic w/ the standard radio setup. The nav screen helps offset the plastic look. If anyone knows how to workaround any of my nav gripes let me know. Lance |

Just got my '08 FWD three days ago. Don't have buyers remorse yet, so I guess we are off to a good start  . I don't think I got a 'great' deal but overall I am happy. Base + Nav + moon roof. MSRP w/ options: $29,430 Invoice w/ options: $27,366 Total before rebate & t/t/f's: $28,379 Rebate: $545 They had another rebate of $500 but opted for the 3 year 3.9% financing. Was going to pay cash but seemed better to get financing and keep the money in a money market at 5.4%. Total w/o t/t/f's: $27,834.. could have been $27,334 if I would have taken additional rebate. One beef I had with the process was slow turnaround on the order. They didn't have options we wanted on the lot so we ordered the car. They said it would take 6-8 weeks for it to come in and it ended up taking about 11. Lance |

Is it fare to suggest 800-1000 under invoice as some people have reported on this site? I have a quote on 2008 escape hybrid, leather, siri radio, 4WD for 30,570 MSRP...offer is 28,200. This seems high to me...any suggestions? Thanks.

I am reading about A/X Pricing plans. Please explain to me what they are. Are they available on the 08 Escape? Thanks, I'm shopping & no dealers in my area (Central Florida) have one on their lot. I'm not sure my timing is so good, since gas is over $3.00 right now.

Replying to: adamdonaghey (May 20, 2007 10:23 am) Can you tell me how your formula applies for my 2008 ford escape hybrid purchase. My MSRP with options price is $27,825. Invoice price with options is $26,300. What should I be offering the dealer according to your formula? thanks
