Replying to: rnarg (Nov 04, 2007 2:22 pm) I placed my order for a FEH last week. I was told my an associate in their Internet Sales Dept. that Ford had ran out of a battery component. This resulted in them ending production prematurely this year. He went on to say that they were not scheduled to resume production on 2008 FEH's until January '09. Car salesmen being car salesmen, I am not sure how accurate that is, but it sounds plausible. He checked the number of FEH's in FL, GA and AL to see if he could find one with the features I wanted....there was less than 70 FEH's total in all three states and only 17 in the state of FL. Good Luck. Replies to this message: mickeyrom (Nov 20, 2007 2:13 pm) stevedebi (Nov 26, 2007 2:51 pm) mickeyrom (Nov 26, 2007 3:16 pm) cloftus (Nov 27, 2007 8:21 am)

Replying to: flafeh (Nov 20, 2007 11:12 am) They are going to build 2008 models in 2009? Thats insane.   I heard at a dealer just today,that most of the hybrids go to the East and West coasts.

Replying to: mickeyrom (Nov 20, 2007 2:13 pm) I think that is a typo; they are resuming 2008 production this January (2008). Replies to this message: mickeyrom (Nov 26, 2007 3:16 pm) cloftus (Nov 27, 2007 8:21 am)

Replying to: stevedebi (Nov 26, 2007 2:51 pm) Well, that would make a lot more sense.I just dont understand why they dont make hybrids their primary models.

Replying to: stevedebi (Nov 26, 2007 2:51 pm) I certainly hope they are producing them now. I finally was told there is a VIN number for my vehicle about two weeks ago. I ordered my FEH June 21st and thanks to the advice of this website, after my patience ran out I emailed one of the suggested Ford kingpens. Within a week, I had a VIN and I don't think it was coincidence. I hope the wait is worth it and is it crazy to think that I'll get it this year?
#223 of 706 RE #222 --Why Ford doesn't increas their production by rnarg Nov 27, 2007 (10:21 am)
Now that you have a VIN, and have waited an extended period of time, ask your dealer (politely) to contact their Ford Factory Rep so he (the Fac Rep) might check on the status and assist in expediting delivery because of the delay you have experienced.

#224 of 706 FEH Availability by bjtaksa Nov 28, 2007 (2:06 pm)
I've been in the market for an FEH for a while. While searching different locales for FEHs on forddirect.com, I've noticed a definite increase in availability lately, despite seemingly brisk sales. Looks good for a future purchase...   While searching, I ran across this little gem: check out zip 90210 (link below) on forddirect.com (make sure you look at ALL the dealers)...   http://www56.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/IncomingPage.jsp?lang=en&sUserInterface- Branding=1&sModel=2008Escape_Hybrid&makeTransition=ToFilter&sZip=90210&sReferrin- gSite=1

Replying to: rnarg (Nov 27, 2007 10:21 am) Thanks for the advice. I spoke to my salesman today and he said it should be built December 5th, and shipped out December 10th-12th. All I want for Christmas is my FEH.
#226 of 706 Why is this soooooo hard??????? by copakevo Dec 06, 2007 (7:25 am)
I can't believe how difficult it is just to buy a car? Even with an open checkbook, it is like slogging through quicksand. I had one salesman that decided I just wasn't interested enough to pursue a DX because I told him I got better numbers somewhere else. Another salesman only addressed my husband even though it was made clear that the car would be mine. I was beginning to think that I could go to school and build my own vehicle before I would ever be able to get my hands on one from FORD. I have found a terrific dealer who is doing everything possible to get me an 08. How wonderful life would be if FORD did the same. I am on the brink of ordering, but the 4 to 5 month horror stories are turning me off. Any words of encouragement? By the time the 08 may get here, I might just as well wait for the 09's. I hate being on the hook for that long. I sit and wait and what consequences does FORD en-cure for the delay? The whole process is making my head hurt!
