#422 of 706 Just ordered a 2009 FEH in Maryland by therock515 Jun 07, 2008 (7:12 am)
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?

#424 of 706 FDAF charge by therock515 Jun 08, 2008 (4:12 pm)
I just posted my info about ordering a 2009 FEH and raised the question about the FDAF charge. Well, after looking at the fordpartner website, I came across this:   "The New Vehicle Purchase Program price includes advertising, finance costs, transportation, fuel charges and Ford Motor Company administrative fees. The dealership may not charge extra for these items."   So just a warning to people ordering under the X-plan, the fuel charges and FDAF are NOT allowed. One thing I am wondering though is "transportation" as mentioned above the same thing as destination and delivery? If so, then I really got taken for a ride.

I ordered a 2008 FEH on 7/30/2007 NOTE: 4WD.   The formula for the X Plan price at that time was "The DEALER invoice less 0.4% plus $75.00 Administration Fee". (Note the administration fee is not the dreaded processing fee that should not and is not included in an X Plan price.) This above formula however, DOES include the FDAF Assessment (Per X Plan rep I spoke to at the time of order). So-----using the above formula here is how my X Plan price of $28,809.63 was arrived at using the Dealer Invoice pricing (get yours from Edmunds) :                       Dealer Invoice Pricing 2008   The FEH 4WD----------------------------------------------25,363.00 Premium Pkg--------------------------------------------------1,016.00 MoonRoof Pkg----------------------------------------------------846.00 Audiophile Pkg----------------------------------------------------591.00 U.S Gasoline----------------------------------------------------------9.03 FDAF ASSESSMENT------------------------------------------360.00 Destination/Delivery----------------------------------------------665.00                                                                       __________ Total------------------------------------------------------------ $28,850.03   Note: at the time of order I contacted an X Plan Rep regarding the          the FDAF Assessment charge, and that rep stated that it was proper but to          make certain there were no processing fees charged.   Per Formula-----$28,850.03 X .004= 115.40 Per Formula---- $28,850.03 less 115.40 = $28,734.63 Per Formula-----Add $75.00 Administration Fee and you will get the total price. Total Price------$28,809.63 (as indicated in above paragraph)   Note: the formula is in the X Plan on line manual. Replies to this message: therock515 (Jun 09, 2008 5:08 am)

Replying to: rnarg (Jun 08, 2008 4:31 pm) Ok, thanks for clearing things up rnarg. I misunderstood how the calculations were being made. I made the same calculations with my quote and was able to see how the x-plan price was computed. So, the bottom line is I received a legit price.

I ordered an '09 in late April. The local dealer advised that a VIN had been assigned and an estimated build date of the last week in June. He estimates a July delivery. Ford appears to be moving fast... Replies to this message: neuroboy002 (Jun 18, 2008 5:11 pm) neuroboy002 (Jun 18, 2008 10:25 pm) ddawes (Jun 20, 2008 3:18 pm)
#428 of 706 Press Request by KarenS HOST Jun 18, 2008 (1:47 pm)
A reporter would like to talk to consumers who are in the market for a hybrid SUV but are having trouble finding one. Please respond to jwahledmunds.com with your daytime contact information along with the vehicle you are shopping for no later than Friday, June 20th.

Replying to: bjcarter (Jun 18, 2008 1:45 pm) I was told the dame thing - that the vehicle I ordered already had a VIN assigned and that a late July deliver was possible. I believe it when I get the phone call from the dealership somewhere between 6/23 (when the building phase of the FEHs are scheduled to start) and 7/1 regarding the vehicle's progress. I was never given the VIN number though and I never got anything in writing saying if I didn't receive my FEH by a certain date, I could take my sizable deposit elsewhere. I guess that was a rookie mistake.

Replying to: bjcarter (Jun 18, 2008 1:45 pm) ... And if there are delays, we can blame the life guards since they received their 2009 FEHs first.   http://tinyurl.com/3lp58e
