Details of 2009 Escape available as PDF by fmorriso

I have scanned in and converted to PDF the 11-page document I received from my dealer back in April called "2009 Escape & Escape Hybrid Major Product Changes, 4/17/08" and will gladly email it to anyone who requests it. Just send me an email at fpmorrison "at" verizon "dot" net. The file size is 430K. It tells you all the "codes" for ordering along with what has changed from 2008 to 2009 on the FE (XLS, XLT, Limited) and FEH (Regular, Limited). The "Limited" is new for both the FE and FEH. Sections in the document:
1. Major Product Changes
2. Major Product Summary
3. Standard Equipment
4. Functional Equipment (shows pictures of wheels)
5. Optional Equipment
6. Color & Trim Availability
7. Package Options/Emissions
8. Powertrain/Dimensions - note: fuel economy is set to "TBD", so don't get your hopes up.

That is correct. I ordered mine this morning and was told 4-6 months. One bad thing is no high end stereo/speakers on the 2009 Hybrid.

I just received a quote for the Ford Escape Hybrid Limited - $30,000 + tax (CA) and license. Is this an average deal?

2009 Production Information by fmorriso

I spoke to my dealer. My April 20 order for a FEHL is the first for that particular dealer. As for the debate about when scheduling will start (May 15 vs. mid-Septermber) and when production will start (June 23 vs. October), here's what my dealer told me today:
 
The order of production is:
1. Retail orders
2. Dealer stock
3. Fleet sales
 
My order shows in the Ford computer as "Clean" but not yet scheduled as of May 14. If it was scheduled on May 15, then it might not post into the computer system until Saturday. He said he'll come in on Saturday, check the computer and get back to me.
 
Anybody else heard same/different from their dealer?

that's great news. Is there a publicly accessible link to this sort of thing?

The MSRP for the 2009 FEH FWD Limited (no options) is $30,635 plus destination/delivery charge of $695 and of course tax, tags, processing fees. I had my dealer write out exactly what cost what (no hidden surprises). I got my delear to agree to $875 below MSRP plus a $500 rebate at delivery - but anything below MSRP is a good deal.

X-Plan Number? by neuroboy002
May 16, 2008 (7:55 pm)

Hello,
 
I am a student and trying to purchase a FEH 2009 around $30K. I posted above regarding a dealership in Orange County, California offering $30K but with taxes and licensing, the final cost is just over $32K. What is the policy with X-plan numbers? Do dealerships have to honor them or is it by choice? Does anyone have an X-Plan number I can use? I do plan to order within the next few weeks.
 
If someone can help me out, my e-mail is roysreceptive at gmail.com
 
Thanks and any advice or help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your experience. How did you get a rebate? I was told by a dealer that Ford was not offering them. Also, do you know anything about tax deduction?
