Would you expect a car salesman to know how his/her product functions?
 
No more than I expect car buyers to actually read the owner's manual.
 
I'm going to start hiding cash in mine because it's the last place anyone would ever look.

Oh, my, ackirby....you would be so embarrassed if you understood what this kind of reply says about you:
Can you explain why you didn't read the owner's manual? They print them and put them in the glovebox for a reason.
 
Of course, I could explain why I didn't read the owner's manual (yet). However, you would not understand my explanation. I often am amused by the fact that people like you monitor forums like this. Why would you even attempt to answer my question if you can't tolerate the asking of that question.
 
I am so sorry to have taken some of your time. How sad.

I know exactly what it says about me - I don't like to waste other people's time (and my own) asking questions that I could easily look up myself, and I don't like other people doing the same thing to me or others.
 
If you notice, I did answer your question. And if you have access to a computer (which you obviously did since you're posting here) you could have looked up the manual online (like Brucelinc did):

Sorry if you're offended, but this is obviously a major pet peeve of mine.

How about referring to brakes as breaks?

2010 MKS Ecoboost pricing by brucelinc

One of my local dealers just sent me an email indicating the order bank is open and that they can take my order for a 2010 MKS. They also have pricing information. They are indicating a late July or early August delivery.
 
I want the MKS Ecoboost with Ultimate package and the interior wood trim package. The MSRP is $52,870 according to the dealer. The 2009 MKS AWD with Ultimate and wood trim stickers for $48,320. Pretty significant difference for the twin turbo - but I wouldn't want an MKS without it. In the email, he indicated they would knock $3000 off MSRP. I am going to go visit with them in the next day or so and also check with a couple of other dealers. I need to see what invoice is and go from there.
 
If anyone else is ordering a 2010 MKS, please let us know about your experience.

Why not wait awhile? Chrysler will probably file for Ch11 with GM following soon after. The parts suppliers are going to see a downturn for parts demand. This will have a negative impact on Ford especially if some of the suppliers go into CH 11. Ford wants to offer the suppliers loans to continue supplying parts to Ford. I don't understand how Ford will be able to do so and still meet its financial obligations even with concessions from the UAW and reducing debt and interest on its debt. And that's even with a sale of Volvo if Ford could find a buyer. At least a buyer that would keep Volvo fwd as Ford prefers to share Volvo's tech for its domestic products. BMW and Mercedes have plans to return Volvo to rwd if either purchases Volvo. So why not wait until September or October to order? The discounts off list will probably be larger if for the only reason is to move product to create demand for parts to replenish inventory of cars. The only method that allows at least some suppliers to pay back their creditors without filing for CH11. Right now you could probably get at least a 4000 dollar discount on the 09 car. Also the price of the MKZ for 10 is higher because Ford made more items standard. The MKS will see a price increase for 10 also for the same reason.

Thanks for the input. After chatting with a couple of dealers, I am getting prices of invoice plus $500 from one and invoice minus $350 from the other on a 2010 order. For me, it is not all about price. though. Dealer location, attitude/knowledge of the sales manager, and their willingness to follow up is important to me.
 
It is likely that waiting until fall or early winter could result in some savings but it is worth several bucks to me to have the car sooner rather than later. Besides, I will be selling my LS and I would prefer to do that during the summer. I will make a decision within the next few days.

just curious, the MKS is so much more expensive than the Genesis with a V8, why buy MKS?
note: I'm not trashing the MKS, just looking for MKS owners' opinions. thanks.

Keyless Entry by glynn70508

I see where alot of Lincoln Mercury Ford owners have questions regarding the keyless entry keypad. As a professional sales consultant for a Lincoln Mercury dealer in Louisiana, let me clarify something. On the MKS, you can certainly lock this inside of the vehicle. Please do so on the outside of the vehicle on the keypad by depressing the last two buttons (7-8, 9-0) simultaneously. You may also lock your keys in the ignition (although not recommended) by doing the very same thing. If you attempt to do so by depressing the door lock on the interior panel, they will simply unlock so that you don't mistakenly lock the keys/transponder in the vehicle.
