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.

| Unless your dealer has some type of special relationship with his Ford factory rep, plan on waiting 4 to 5 months for delivery. | |

According to this article in the Kansas City star, it sounds like the plant where the Ford Escape Hybrid is built is working overtime while the rest of Ford either has or is gettng ready to cut back on production of trucks and SUVs: http://www.kansascity.com/business/v-print/story/632189.html
