Purchased a 4WD FEH from a dealer in CT for a great deal. Over the past 6 years we had leased 2 Ford Explorers and bought one (the most recent) so we had some purchasing history with the dealership. Also, the past 2 Ford Explorers we had purchased using Ford's X-Plan. We first drove the vehicle on 2/22, they had only one on the lot. When we went back in early April, the same vehicle was still there along with another FEH. The vehicle was a different color than what we preferred and it also had the Appearance option that we were not interested in. After we talked about trying to locate another vehicle that better matched our preferences, the sales manager offered to sell us the vehicle at the X-Plan price minus the cost of the Appearance option. My guess is that since it had been on the lot for at least a couple of months and that they had an additional FEH in stock, the dealership was interested in moving this vehicle. We decided to buy it at the below X-Plan price. The timing of the deal was fabulous for us. Given that the price of gas has jumped over the past few weeks and our need for another economical car, we are happy with the purchase. Had the full fillup after a week and a half of driving. 1st fillup over 29MPG!!! |

Replying to: gagrice (Apr 29, 2006 5:10 pm) I feel like I was treated pretty well there. I got a price quote with incentives, payments, etc. through email before I ever went in, which I loved, no other ford dealer did that. I hate talking on the phone or going in to the dealer, being a young blond female I feel like prey walking in the door. and they would be right! |

Replying to: jeff_h (Nov 05, 2005 9:04 am) Is there some way you can trick the Ford web site to give you a list of all dealers in a 50 or 100 mile radius. Right now it asks for a zip code or a city and then you get a group of dealers. I am looking for a 2006 FEH Thanks Dan

Purchased from Beverly Hills Ford (LA) MSRP:27,795 (asking price, $30,285) Price Paid: $26,000 Financing: 0%/60 Months Had to put $300 down but they added the 72 mo/75,000 mile warranty and Vehicle Recovery Plan at no cost to me! Didn't realize it at the time of purchase but noticed on the way home that the vehicle has a 6 disk changer (was never listed on the sticker so I consider it a bonus  ) Final price: $29128.00 including taxes, lic, fees Hope this helps anyone looking to buy. |

Replying to: cars4240 (May 02, 2006 5:35 pm) With regards to the zip codes, no way to get around it that I know of, so I just opened another browser in another window to USPS.com and went to the search zip code area, then put in names of cities and such and used it that way... I'm sure I missed a few dealerships here and there, but was confident that I got the vast majority in the area. I was just adamant about 1) finding just the color and options my wife wanted, and 2) staying out of the dealership until things were agreed upon, to take away that home turf advantage that I (and many others) get frustrated over when they give that runaround to keep the price high. Good luck! Jeff |

| Hi,i was looking at a 2006 hybrid in elma,wa and as i was going thru the options list they came to a little over 28,000 dollars,no t&l,then as i was looking at the other lists that were on the window i saw a sticker that said the price was 28,000+5,000 dollar dealer markup which then put the price of this vehicle 34,000 dollars plus tax which i believe grays harbor cty. is 8%,that puts the cost at over 36720 dollars,but what galled me more was 5,000 dollar markup,thank,s whisky1 | |

Replying to: newbrid (Apr 28, 2006 9:54 am) It is 8 years (100K miles) in some states, and 10 years (150K miles) in others. I know that in CA, it is 10 years.

Replying to: walta (Jul 20, 2006 9:33 am) This is EXACTLY what I experienced! Somewhere, at some point, someone at ford must have put this in some sales/training lit.! It's definitely 8/100k in my manual.
