Ordered mine on 07/30/2007. At the time of order I wasn't aware of order delays, and I don't believe the dealer was since he told me 4-6 weeks for delivery. I checked recently for a status of my order and was told by dealer that all FEH's are on "National Back Order" (whatever that means). Checked 2 days ago with FORD Customer Service who advised that they are presently building June special orders but couldn't give me a time when June orders would be completed. Yesterday, I received a call from a different FORD dealer, one that I had visited while shopping for the vehicle I wanted. He says he had just received 2 2008's and wanted to know if I were still interested. Unfortunately, mine has been ordered with a $1,000 Non-refundable deposit. At the time I was shopping I only found one available. It was loaded with every option available and some additional dealer installed accessories. They were asking a hefty price along with a $3,000 "adendum" they called it. (in other words a $3,000 mark-up over the retail sticker) That's when I decided to order at my local dealer. The dealer who called me regarding the two that he claims to have is located in Chantilly, VA. I have no idea of their pricing. I have been told by a different dealer altogether that FEH orders have been turned over to a FORD division in Detroit and that this usually only happens when the delay problem is caused by suppliers and not by the Ford Production facility. (maybe its the electric motor supplier?) I don't have a clue as to how true that is, so I'll just continue to wait. Rnarg

I have the same problem. I am looking to buy a 2008 Escape Hybrid but can't seem to find one here in Edmonton, AB, Canada. The dealer says there is a 4 month delay! ps.If anyone knows where I can find one matching the following options please send me a message: Options wanted: 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid FWD Black Pearl Leather Chrome Navigation System

| oh, does anyone know how the sales numbers are going? By the time I get my car,if ever, I hope I still qualify for a tax deduction. And where'd the $500 rebate come from? | |

TO: kc rusty Wasn't aware the FEH came equiped with Navigation as an independent stand alone option. Everything I have observed indicates if you have Navigation in the Hybrid it is coupled with the Energy Flow Monitor (hybrid screen)you mention you wish you had, and also the audiophile am/fm 6CD stero option. As I understand it, the only one of these 3 you can get alone is the audiophile system. If you actually have Navigation, are you sure you don't have the other 2? (If you have Navigation alone maybe it was installed as an accessory?) |

The $500 is a Cash Incentive to purchase. If you go to the Kelly Blue Book site (www.kbb.com) and select New Car pricing and then price the 2008 Escape Hybrid with options, you should see one of the selections you can make refers to the $500 incentive. Also, buyers who qualify for x plan pricing are offered this $500 incentive in certificate form. Only problem is, this incentive ends on 10/01/2007, and the date that is used to qualify is the date the vehicle is delivered to you, the buyer. So us poor souls who may have the $500 incentive but are still waiting on FORD to deliver the vehicle will most likely be out of luck since I doubt we "waiters" will receive our vehicles by 10/01/2007. On the other hand, if after 10/01/07 for some strange reason FORD provides another incentive (more than or less than the $500 one) we "waiters" will qualify for whatever rebates etc are applicable on the date of delivery. ( I know this is true for X plan buyers, so I would imagine the same procedure would apply to all buyers. rnarg |
