I just purchased a 2008 FWD with leather comfort package and the 110 volt PowerPoint for an X Plan price of $25,500 before tax and licensing. I've also downloaded the Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit form 8910 for a $3,000 tax credit. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/tax_hybrid.shtml

I believe the Fed Form 8910 that is currently available is for year 2006. I don't think that 8910 for purchases made in 2007 is available yet. I could be wrong however.

Be carefull, don't spend that credit until you actually finish calculating your 2007 taxes. If you max out on allowable credits (and bump up against what would be your AMT).......you cannot take any more credits. I only got about 3/4's of my $1950 on my 2006 that I purchased in 2006.

I'm guessing with TTL we looking at closer to 26k plus a 3-6%APR. Has maintenance on your M3 been decent? I noticed ford has a pretty pricey maintenance log/price list.

I posted the following message yesterday at the Mariner Hybrid forum ( and I did send an email on the subject to Ford President Mulally ):
 
Having decided to give up my Wrangler in favor of a Mercury Mariner Hybrid, I armed myself with a X-Plan PIN number and arrived at my local Stuart, Florida Mercury Dealer. Surprise: they don't sell or maintain Mariner Hybrids.
  
Went across the street to the Ford Dealer. There were zero Escape Hybrids there, but the sales rep said that I could order one and wait two months for delivery. The sales manager said that 1% of Escape production is the hybrid model.
  
And one wonders why Ford stock is in the tank?

hey bjc- my mazda 3 has been just oil changes in 2 years- regular maintenance has been the usual. Not one problem- knock on wood. After my '94 Olds Bravada that was towed more times than I care to remember- Mazda and Ford have been awesome to me. We also own an '05 Hyundai Tucson- another awesome vehicle. We like the small suv over the large.
 
When I got my FEH, the salesman went over maintenance and said oil changes are every 10,000 miles- I just looked it up and it says 12 month , 10,000 mile max between oil changes. I hope there aren't any major expenses, maybe the '06 and '07 FEH owners can share their expenses with us on here.

I really wonder why Ford is running commercials for these hybrids.You cant find one.You would think that they would notice which direction the sales wind is blowing.

I have an '07 Escape FWD hybrid, which I puchased in August 2006. I have 17,000 miles on it. The only maintenance to date is an oil change at 10,000 miles ($19) , a tire rotation (free), and new wiper blades ($20). Currently I am getting between 34-36 mpg depending on the type of driving I did on that tank.

I counted 12 Escape Hybrids on the lot for sale(in various colors and options) at my local dealer a couple of weeks ago....when I was there to have the HVBattery connector on my 2006 changed out under the service campaign (recall).
