Might not be the correct thread but still a good article: http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/05/15/abg-first-drive-2009-ford-escape-hybrid/- |

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

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?

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. |

Here are some useful links: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=167435,00.html http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=157557,00.html http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=157632,00.html http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=176409,00.html http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=161076,00.html |

As of May 21, 2008, my 2009 FEHL that I ordered on April 20, 2008 has not been scheduled for production. My dealer reports my order is “clean, but not scheduled”. Has anyone else who ordered around the same time been told, via the official Ford ordering computer at their dealer, that their vehicle has been scheduled for production? I hope this will help straighten out the confusion about when the FEH/FEHL will be scheduled vs. the gasoline models. One source of information says scheduling for all 2009 Escapes began May 15 while another says May 15 was for gasoline models while hybrids won’t be scheduled until mid-September. Others say the mid-September scheduling date is for fleet sales and that we should believe that scheduling of the hybrids began on May 15. In this age of computers, I would hope that a retail order placed within the first three days of the official ordering date would be scheduled by now. Then again, if somebody at Ford is doing the scheduling by pushing little magnets around on a board or using chalk and a blackboard, I might need to wait a bit longer.
