#97 of 705 2008 Hybrid for sale!!! by tripcapecod Mar 19, 2007 (11:06 am)
I work at Chatham Ford on Cape Cod. We have finally gotten our first 2008 Escape Hybrid. Very cool! Big changes from the 2007! We have had a couple of lookers so far, but it is still available. The sticker price is $29,850.00 and typically they would sell for close to that amount due to their scarcity at this time. Let's face it... it's a buyers market right now you can save money!

Replying to: zoltano (Mar 10, 2007 8:10 pm) I am thinking of purchasing a 2WD Hybrid Escape from Galpin during the next week. How did you get the $2,500 dealer discount -- their internet manager tells me that does not exist. They also claim to not have any Escape Hybrids that do not have all of the expensive options and packages -- meaning, no base model -- so, you are stuck with paying for stuff you don't want or need.   I will likely try another dealer that can get me closer to the $22,000 price point (meaning, I get both dealer and Man. incentives, plus some of the packages without getting gauged for stuff I don't need). Thanks. Replies to this message: zoltano (Mar 21, 2007 12:34 am)

I purchased an '08 FEH three weeks ago. I live in Boulder, Colorado and the sticker price was $29,175. I was able to get it for $27,238 because I used my COSTCO membership warehouse auto buyer program. After searching all 15 Ford dealers in the entire Denver Metro area, there were only two '08 FEH's that were not fully loaded with sticker prices at $32,500.   I did not want the $2,695 Navigation system nor the moonroof and was able to find 2 without these options. 2WD doesn't even exist out here. No one in Colorado would buy one. All in all, I think I got a good price considering there are no incentives out on the '08 yet.

Replying to: complawman (Mar 20, 2007 3:16 pm) Yepp, it does not exist - that is something that YOU have to negotiate off the MSRP... I was able to do that, but mine was fully loaded (MSRP 33100) so maybe they are more willing to sell those at (in my case slightly below)Invoice.

#102 of 705 08 Hybrid in Atlanta by davidlazerr9 Mar 27, 2007 (3:37 pm)
Replying to: tripcapecod (Mar 19, 2007 11:06 am) Wow, hard to find 08 hybrids here but I did close the deal last week on a fully loaded black one. Drove the Mariner hyrbid first and was shocked at how different it drove, sounded, and felt from the Escape although they are supposedly in the same blood line. After much BS, I got mine for $1000 below MSRP and then saved an additional $1000 in rebates for college grad/auto show promotion. Hard to get right at full invoice when they are so new and scarce but I'm pleased.(trade in on mine was quite sweet to boot). Nice quiet ride, Nav/Sirius/Moonroof were worth the bucks. Averaging around 33 MPG thus far.
#103 of 705 Potential 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid 2WD Purchase by adamdonaghey Apr 19, 2007 (2:31 am)
I'm debating purchasing the 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid 2WD.   Originally, I thought I'd get a better deal on a 2007 model because of all the extra incentives. The vehicle has a base MSRP of $25,655.00 and a base invoice of $24,198.00. Accounting for dealer holdback (3% off total MSRP), Blue Oval holdback (additional 1.25% off total invoice), and current factory-to-dealer rebate of $500.00, I've come up with a dealer cost of $22,625.88. Add in the destination charge and subtract the $3000.00 in customer rebates, and I'm down to $20,290.88 for the base model. Anyway, after adding in all the options I want (Premium Package, Safety Package, and Moonroof) and my local tax rate, I've come up with a total w/options cost of $25,987.30. That's $7,397.40 off MSRP & $5,031.48 off invoice). Take out another $2600 for the tax credit, and I'm down to $23,387.30. Then, of course, I have to add in *some* profit for the dealer.   Now, here's the issue... Going through all that rigamarole with the 08 model has given me a total cost of $25,698.23 (after the $3000 tax credit and, again, I have to add in profit), which is $2310.93 more than the 07, and only $4336.67 off MSRP and $1,873.23 off invoice... That really seems crazy to me, based on previous vehicles I've purchased (course, they've always been marked up more than the Escape).   Anyway, I've read--from Ford--that the 08 is slated to have an 11% better residual value than the 07 model... If that's the case, it might be worth it just to go for the 08. That, coupled with all the new features, may be my best choice. Of course, the drastic markdown in the 08 will certainly have a negative effect on the prior models' resale value, anyway.   It should also be noted that I used this same formula with both the 07 and 08 Mariners. Oddly enough, both of them came in at just over $200 more than the 08 Escape... So the 08 Mariner is on my mind too. *sigh*   Any thoughts before I purchase?

Replying to: adamdonaghey (Apr 19, 2007 2:31 am) I'm in the same boat, but in so cal. all the 07's are fairly loaded. I'm assuming that when more 07's are gone, the big rebate will shift to the 08. I'm also looking hard at a Prius. Replies to this message: adamdonaghey (Apr 19, 2007 11:58 am) treagan (Apr 19, 2007 12:48 pm) supercub43 (Apr 29, 2007 6:37 pm)

Replying to: treagan (Apr 19, 2007 11:22 am) lol, wouldn't it be something if you waited until all the 07's were gone... there *was* a rebate shift to the 08... BUT... 60,000 had sold and the IRS lowered the credit? I hate thinking about all of this... Replies to this message: treagan (Apr 19, 2007 12:48 pm) supercub43 (Apr 29, 2007 6:37 pm)
