Replying to: neuroboy002 (Jun 04, 2008 5:57 pm) This seems to run counter to the many reports that have stated the production schedules would prioritize '09 FEH's the following: 1) Actual Retail Sales, 2) Dealer Stock and 3) Fleet Orders.

Just got back from the dealership and signed my paperwork. I thought I would post the info from my vehicle order confirmation: 2009 FWD FEH Limited MSRP: $31,330 Retail: $30,635 Dealer invoice: $28,358 A/Z Plan: $28,286.34 D-Plan: $28,386.59 X-Plan: $29,381.64 Other Charges: 3 Gallons of gas - $11.34 FDAF - $360 Destination & Delivery - $695 Two things surprised me (You'll have to forgive me for mentioning these, but this is my first time purchasing an item of this magnitude): 1. I plan to pay this car off in one year. I was not aware that the banks Ford use will normally penalize $75 for closing a balance early. I wasn't too happy about that. 2. The dealership I went to required a 10% non-refundable deposit, or $3000. Again, I didn't know this was standard, but at the same time, I didn't care too much. I planned to pay off the care ASAP. Also this dealership was in walking distance of my parents' home as opposed to a 8 mile drive elsewhere. I've got no timetable as to when my vehicle will be built. I did take a look at my dealer's ordering list while he was away from his desk and stock inventory of certain 2009s, including the FEH Hybrids, were already being built. I didn't see any "clean" models, just ones that said "locked-in" for the production plant.

Replying to: monkeyboy4 (Jun 04, 2008 11:36 am) After trying to buy locally, I ended up going to Newport News, VA. May have been able to find somewhere closer that would honor X-plan after an even longer search, but was just relieved to have it ordered at long last. Local dealers (RTP area) - Capital, Crossroads (multiple locations), and University Ford all said no up front. University Ford North is the one that gave me the 'get on a list for a future order' run around previously mentioned. Also tried a variety of smaller dealerships (ie Oxford, NC) in the hopes they might be willing to do X-plan if they had a smaller volume, no luck. The other 2 run-arounds were the dealerships in Fayetteville and Hendersonville (western NC). Hendersonville actually backed out when the learned I wasn't local. Best of luck! -V |

Dealer requiring a non-refundable 10% deposit is outrageous... Many things can go wrong that make loosing that deposit within the realm of possibility.

I have been told that dealers in Washington, DC are being forced by Ford HQ to accept a "bundling" of two Ford Exhbitions in order to get an allocation for one Ford Escape Hybrid. Has anyone else heard of such a thing? Furthermore, I was tod that, since an Exhibition is basically a "boat anchor" that isn't going to sell, dealers have to factor in the $4000 carrying cost of one of these "boat anchors" and make that up on the "hot sellers", resulting in the $3000-$5000 "premium" you see on the sticker of a Ford Escape Hybrid. Sounds like I better find another dealer outside the DC area and see if they have the "escaped" (lower-case) this "bundling" issue and can sell me a FEHL without the "premium" tacked on. |

Replying to: ursacat (Jun 04, 2008 8:10 pm) Just got an email from the dealer. Looks like they did forget to include the step bars on the order. They are going to try and revise. Regardless, if they can't they will install at the dealer (might be a bit more.) The good news is that we are locked in and have a delivery date of 7/10/08. Regards,

I just wanted to post my order info for anyone in the Maryland area. I went to a dealer in Columbia, MD and was quoted an x-plan price of $27,269 for a FWD standard Hybrid with no options. Included in this was a $11 gas, $360 FDAF and a $695 destination charge. I had to give a $500 deposit. Very easy experience, no runaround. I was told the expected delivery will be sometime between September and December. I have read mixed things on whether the FDAF is an allowable charge under the x-plan. Anyone know for sure?
