#2538 of 2770 Re: 2010 MKS Ecoboost pricing [brucelinc] by speculator Apr 23, 2009 (5:39 pm)
Replying to: brucelinc (Apr 23, 2009 9:15 am) 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.

Replying to: speculator (Apr 23, 2009 5:39 pm) 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.
#2540 of 2770 just curious... by alman08 Apr 25, 2009 (10:48 am)
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.
#2541 of 2770 Keyless Entry by glynn70508 Apr 28, 2009 (9:21 am)
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.

Replying to: bkford (Apr 20, 2009 4:51 am) Thanks for asking and I will be glad to assist you. As a Lincoln Mercury professional sales associate I can offer you the following assistance. 1) If you wish to program your own personal 5 digit code, please use the manufacturer's pre-assigned code first and stand at least 5 feet away from the vehicle. You can find instructions in the owner's manual. 2) If you wish to lock your transponder (remote) inside your vehicle, you must do so from the outside of the vehicle via the keyless entry panel. Do not attempt to lock the vehicle with the lock on the driver door panel as it will simply unlock. Just depress the 7-8 & 9-0 buttons simultaneously. 3) Once the transponder is properly locked inside the MKS, no one can gain access unless they know your 5 digit code. They are not able to unlock the vehicle. Hope this addresses your concerns.

Replying to: brucelinc (Mar 28, 2009 11:46 am) This is the finest leather imported from Bridges of Weir in Scotland. This is much the same leather used in European imports. You can visit their site at BridgesofWeir.com. It's fascinating to see the entire process. Most of my clients opt for the Cashmere interior and use miled soap and water to clean. You might want to use leather conditioner, but do not use Armor-All or anything like it. This is harmful to your interior.

#2545 of 2770 pulled the trigger by brucelinc May 01, 2009 (5:46 pm)
I placed an order today for a 2010 MKS, twin turbo, ultimate package and wood door trim. I decided on red candy metallic with camel interior.   I am pretty comfortable with the arrangement. We agreed on a price and I gave them a $500 deposit. If the car arrives and I don't want it I can apply the $500 to anything else they sell or, of course, I can just lose the 5 bills if I don't buy a car from them.   While I was there, I drove a 2009 with the 20" wheels. It handled pretty good with nice quick responses but I would tire of the stiffness over our rotten Minneapolis potholes. It was fine on smooth freeways. I then drove one with the 18" wheels and it was much smoother and quieter. Mine will come with 19s but they have agreed to swap me 18s if I want to. I will make that decision when the car arrives.   The wait begins...... Replies to this message: toomanyfumes (May 01, 2009 6:00 pm) brucelinc (May 02, 2009 8:59 am)

Replying to: brucelinc (May 01, 2009 5:46 pm) Congrats, sounds like a sweet ride. My LS is Red Metallic with tan interior, great color combo. Replies to this message: brucelinc (May 02, 2009 8:59 am)
#2547 of 2770 Re: pulled the trigger [toomanyfumes] by brucelinc May 02, 2009 (8:59 am)
Replying to: toomanyfumes (May 01, 2009 6:00 pm) Thanks. I have always liked the red/tan combination. I haven't actually seen the red candy live and and in living color but I think it should be pretty sharp. After 10 years of the dark charcoal interior in my LS, I am looking forward to the camel and olive ash wood, too.   One other thing I noted yesterday when I drove a couple of MKSs: One of them had 2800 miles on it. It was so much quicker than the other one with 20 miles on the odometer that it felt like it had 50 more HP. It even sounded better under hard acceleration. The base 3.7 is really no slouch when broken in. I think it would run head to head with the base Cadillac DTS with the 275 HP Northstar V8 - maybe even beat it.
