You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
Sometime back there was some discussion about an additional $1000 being added to the sticker price. If I recall right, this was applied to newer orders and not to orders made by a certain date. Does any one recall this? Most responses said that the dealer should honor the price agreed to and not the raised sticker price. Just wondering since I received my sticker from BlueOval.com and it is $1000 higher!

Replying to: stevedebi (Sep 16, 2008 11:49 am) I got my FEH back from the shop today with a nice new bumper. Good as new. So I decided to create a little test for the backup sensors.... I put the parking brake on and left the car in reverse. I then stood on the side of the vehicle and used my hands and legs to try to trip the sensors. I should note that this was the sensor that was not impacted in my fabulous little crash. Anyway, I tried waving my hand across as well as bringing my hand in towards the sensors from as far as I could reach. The result is simply that things that came in from the side are not reacted to in a repeatable way. Sometimes I could physically touch the sensor and it wouldnt trip. Other times it detected me right away. Other times, it would react but just a second or two later than it should have (I had already made physical contact). Anything coming from straight on seemed to trip all the time. From this I conclude that my sensors arent very good or the design/quality of the sensors is very low budget. If anyone tries this at home, please share your results so I can know if my behavior is a common one. |

Replying to: decker5 (Sep 17, 2008 1:04 pm)  decker5 The seats will fold all the way down, but as noted the headrests need to be removed. It is a sort of "2 step" maneuver. First you need to pop up and tuck the seat portion of the back seats into the back of the front seats near the floor. Then you can fully lay down the backs of the back seat. It is a snug fit for sure. I did find it slightly confusing at first. For the cargo. It is there. You just need to lift out the main shell and that gives you access almost all the way to the cupholders. It is very deep. My wife often puts her purse in there when she doesnt want to carry it. Today I had a pretty large camera bag in mine while it was at the body shop

Replying to: hdtech (Sep 17, 2008 7:56 pm) The main shell was lifted out and there is room there but configuring for a laptop fit is imposible in my view (at least with my unit). But it is still a nice area to dump a wallet, phone and other personal effects. |

Replying to: decker5 (Sep 18, 2008 7:53 am) I should be fine. I do have a written agreement and down payment. I appreciate the info. Now I can walk into the dealer with a good feeling and a solid expectation of the price agreed upon.

Replying to: gene40 (Sep 20, 2008 2:35 pm) I'm impressed with your quick delivery date vs. order date. I've been reading these posts for a few months and have seen a whole lot of frustration about delayed production and/or delivery. I placed an order (and deposit) about the same time you did: 7/25 (the dealer did not send to FMC, however, until 7/30). At the time, I was told to not expect delivery until ~ Oct. As of two weeks ago, that has been pushed back to Feb 09!?*?!* Huh?*!? I'm in metro Detroit (Michigan)...would you mind sharing where you live? I'd like to feed this back to my dealer so he can inquire of his Factory Rep. The "story" about first in, first out is full of holes. Thx! |
