#294 of 706 Re: Costco purchase [bjcarter] by drlarsen Feb 29, 2008 (5:39 pm)
Replying to: bjcarter (Feb 29, 2008 5:25 pm) Just to throw my comments into the mix, our dealer claims to sell the largest volume in BC. So if volume has anything to do with allocation (you'd think it would) then it didn't help with my 8 month wait.   I'm not trying to be negative or scare you away, but I just want you to be aware that you MAY be in for a long wait. Be prepared to accept that.   Also, for the record, I bought during the Ford Family Pricing Event (I think it was called) which is A-plan pricing and reasonably well below MSRP.   From what I've read, X-plan is 4% above A-plan.   I'm not sure when the next Family event will be, but if it's annually held then it can't be all that far off at this point!

I live in BC too and just got mine two weeks ago after a 5 month wait. Replies to this message: drlarsen (Mar 01, 2008 12:45 pm) baysailor (Mar 08, 2008 2:31 pm)

Replying to: yvrcody (Mar 01, 2008 12:20 am) I ordered it through Orchard Ford in Kelowna. I haven't actually received it yet, but supposedly it started production on Feb 25th! They said once it enters production it's usually 1 month to build and transport, so I can expect it at the end of March.   Incidentally, recently I've seen 3-4 2008 FEH's around town. I have a feeling they could be the ones who were on the list ahead of me as I hadn't seen a single one around before Feb. Replies to this message: baysailor (Mar 08, 2008 2:31 pm)

Replying to: drlarsen (Mar 01, 2008 12:45 pm) Just as a data point, 30 days is probably the outside number of days. When I was finalizing the sale on my MMH, I asked if anyone knew how old the car really was. This was on the 26th of January. The salesman I was dealing with was also the dealership ordering guy, and had all of the weekly production run schedules for the vehicles they had been promised at his desk. He looked back and determined that the vehicle had started production the week of the 14th, completed the 18th, and had arrived the evening of the 24th. It may take longer for your delivery, since you're in Canada, but I would suspect you may get it earlier.   The dealerships also can get that information just by downloading it, so don't be afraid to nag your salesman in a week or so.   Cheers, JRG
#298 of 706 Escape Hybrid FWD 08, $24,000+fee tax, good deal? by lee70 Mar 08, 2008 (6:59 pm)
In CA, is this a good deal? Replies to this message: bjcarter (Mar 09, 2008 3:36 pm) scottch (Mar 09, 2008 9:53 pm)

Replying to: lee70 (Mar 08, 2008 6:59 pm) I wouldn't go higher... that's in CA that is. I was quoted 23.7k initially for a mazda tribute hybrid. I suppose it depends on the package

Replying to: lee70 (Mar 08, 2008 6:59 pm) Go to the dealer's website and you will be able to print out the invoice for the specific car you are interested in. It will show both dealer's cost (invoice) and suggested retail price (MSRP, or "list"). Or go thru www.forddirect.com   it's a decent deal, maybe a great deal depending on options. In CA, you can get them below dealer's invoice price (and way below MSRP) if there are factory incentives. I got mine $1080 below invoice ($2700 below MSRP) in December 07 in SF Bay Area.
#302 of 706 A full 8 months, but here it is! by drlarsen Mar 20, 2008 (8:31 am)
Well I finally received my FEH after a full 8 month wait. After driving it for a couple days I can see why everyone says they love them.   If only they could fix their production problems, they'd have a few more sales. I had some family in from out of town and they loved it as well. They're in the market for a new vehicle and said they just found what they were looking for -- until I pointed out the 8 month delay .

A reporter hopes to speak with consumers who want to buy hybrid SUVs that are having a hard time finding them at dealerships and/or are frustrated by dealers marking up the prices on the hybrids. If you are a consumer looking to purchase a hybrid SUV, please respond to ctalatiedmunds.com with your daytime contact information no later than Tuesday, March 25, 2008.
