#598 of 705 Received my VIN number today by mtbk Aug 12, 2008 (6:31 pm)
My dealer called today to let me know that I had a vin number, a build date and a delivery date. If all goes well we will have a new Escape on 9-1-08. The excitement builds.   Does anyone know the weight allowances for roof top carriers, bikes etc or does Ford not recommend it?

Replying to: mtbk (Aug 12, 2008 6:31 pm) Hey mtbk, curious when you ordered and what part of the country your in. I'm hangin' tight in Pittsburgh waiting the VIN for about 2 months. Not too long considering other people's waits, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get it before December because it looks like the tax break will phase to 50% come January.

Replying to: troberts1 (Aug 13, 2008 9:51 am) Per the Ford Motor Company memo (distributed to all dealers) dtd July 17, 2008: "As of June 30, 2008, combined sales of the FEH and MMH eligible for the US Federal Tax Credit are 55,990. Based on sales patterns it appears the 60,000 unit threshold will be reached within the third quarter of 2008. If this is the case, purchasers of the FEH or MMH would be eligible for the full federal tax credit until December 31, 2008. Purchasers after that would be eligible for a reduced credit equal to 50% of the full amount until June 30, 2009."

Replying to: mtbk (Aug 12, 2008 6:31 pm) "Does anyone know the weight allowances for roof top carriers, bikes etc or does Ford not recommend it? "   I believe I have read 145 lbs. But if you want MPG, don't do it. I think a rear bike carrier would be more efficient.

#605 of 705 ordered 09 FEH by dvdkirtley Aug 13, 2008 (2:57 pm)
oops, sorry about that blank post. I ordered our new 09 FEH 2WD without the nav system, kiwi green. Placed the order on 7/25/08 but I don't think the dealer put it in until the next monday: 7/28/08. Dealer said it would probably be about 4-6 weeks wait for the vin#. Said it might be delivered as late as Dec or Jan. I sure hope it gets here by Dec so I can take the full tax credit. We live in St Louis, MO.   dvdkirtley Replies to this message: dvdkirtley (Dec 03, 2008 6:09 pm)

#607 of 705 Picked up my 2009 FEH Tonight - 8/14 by cwgmls Aug 13, 2008 (4:39 pm)
I ordered my Light Ice Blue 4WD on May 9th with Z Plan. Through blueoval.com, I found out that it was manufactured on June 23rd and supposedly shipped on June 25th. Blueoval said the delay was "weather related" and then my saleman said something about a mass "quality control" check. My dealer (central NJ) received it some time last week while I was on vacation. There was a sticker on the window that stated it was driven for a quality control check. Hopefully this was normal and not due to some issue. Good luck to all those who are waiting. According to my salesman, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which orders get built and when.
