#338 of 706 Ready to Order a 2009 FEH - Marin Cty Ca. by ursacat May 05, 2008 (1:00 pm)
Hi all,   We have a 2005 FE (regular fuel) Limited. When we purchased in late 2004 we drove the FEH - decided not to purchase because, well, the performance. Just test drove a 2008 over the weekend. Just fine. Since there is no rush we'll order the 2009 and wait. Questions:   -Anyone have the 2009 order guide? (the two dealers - first one Costco - Petaluma Ford, second one Marin Ford said this would be the first one ordered.)   -We'd like FWD, whatever package comes with Leather and those damn back-up sensors that have saved my ass a couple of times!   -NO Nav. My Blackberry does a great job!   -Whatever stereo comes with an iPod connector (either a true control UI or an output jack) and Bluetooth for the phone. If it doesn't have either one I'd rather install an aftermarket unit w/ CD player, iPod connector and BT.   -Step bars (we have a 5 year old.) Doesn't look like I can take them off a 2005 and install on the 2009. No bolt holes and there is sheet metal in the way (on the 2008's.)   -We have Costco and the x-plan option and I'm awaiting quotes and lead times. \\Am I missing something? Since we are leading the pack here we should compare notes.   -BTW. Why doies Consumer reports give the FE such a low rating????   Regards,   Lou Replies to this message: rilian (May 06, 2008 4:22 pm) ursacat (May 07, 2008 10:41 am)
#339 of 706 discounted 2008 vs. 2009 by namxleena May 05, 2008 (8:15 pm)
As posted by ericmui, frontier ford is discounting their top of the line 2008 FEH by $4000 and the lesser trims by $1500. Was wondering if I should jump on one of these vs. waiting for the 2009s? Also, is the tax credit still available?
#340 of 706 Canadian Federal Tax Rebate by drlarsen May 06, 2008 (3:46 pm)
If any Canadians are on the fence regarding whether or not you should buy a 2008 model now or wait for the 2009, it's worth noting that the federal gov't has discontinued the ecoAUO $2000 rebate program after this year.   From what I understand, any 2008 models which are approved before the end of this year will be given rebate cheques, however 2009 models do not qualify!   Just thought I'd put that on the table. I'm not sure if anything similar is happening in the US.   PS - I just received my rebate today! It takes about a month to process and mail out a cheque. For some reason they can send you a letter letting you know they've accepted your application right away, but it takes awhile longer to actually pry the money out of their hands .

#344 of 706 still in limbo by pensive May 09, 2008 (10:03 am)
UPDATE;   the dealer who took my order in Dec 2007 for a 2008 which was for 1st Qtr 2008 delivery (the only 1 his dealership was allocated by FOMOCO) is saying the factory has advised them the unit will be in production 12 May 2008 or thereabouts.   i suspect; might get a 2008 which someone else couldn't sell or might get a 2009 with a resubmitted order after the factory couldn't make it in the 2008 run.   he (sales manager) said maybe.... i smiled and said maybenot.   keep in touch.
#345 of 706 Looking for X Plan dealer in Denver Area by milehybrid May 11, 2008 (12:37 am)
Anyone with Ford X Plan experience in the Denver area? Have the ability to purchase a vehicle on the X Plan if we can find a dealer who will sell us a car. Test drove a 2008 Escape Hybrid today but the salesperson avoided discussing the X plan with us and at one point said that the Escape wasn't included in the X Plan. According to the Ford Partner website I believe that it is since we could get the price quote for it. Reason #2 the internet will replace retail stores someday.
#346 of 706 Ordered My '09 Hybrid by burnsva May 11, 2008 (12:29 pm)
Ordered my '09 Ford Escape Hybrid Limited FWD last week. Dealer estimated late July, but I am not expecting it until Fall.   Ordered Brilliant Silver w/ Stone Leather Interior and added Side Steps. MSRP is $31,675 including destination charge ($695). I signed my contract for $30,800 (including destination) and I'll qualify for at least one $500 rebate on delivery.   The Limited Edition includes everything except Side Steps and the Navigation System.
