I agree. I like the new wheels better. BTW, does anybody know of a link to a page for MMH ordering ? Do they use the same ordering codes as the FEH ?

 

I printed the 2009 order pages from blueoval. Does anyone have a guestimate of the price of the 2009 4WD Limited? Thanks

 

My guy quoted 33,080 after destination etc....well that's msrp at least.

 

Well, I was working with a dealer that offers buying service pricing below MSRP. However, they weren't ready to handle a 2009 special order so I searched all dealers within 100 miles of Washington DC. I ended up getting a 2008 Mariner below MSRP. I picked-up the car today.

 

Honestly it seems below MSRP is a great deal. I haven't look for a few months, but did a 500 mile search yesterday for 08's. A few came up, all used, and asking price was more than I paid! & I have most options minus nav, and most of these were cloth seats & no nav, had to tell other options. I would stress asking price, but doubt there's little wiggle room, you can't say joe across town has one judt like this for less... I'm demand far out weighs supply, and only getting worse as oil climbs.

 

Just ordered my '09 Limited FWD Hybrid yesterday in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Hopefully this area gets enough HEV's allocated so that I get it within a reasonable time frame.

I really like all the options the include in the new limited model now. I added the pricey Navigation System only because I like the Hybrid console. Really wish Ford would include this for free like in the Prius'. Also wish they would offer more interior color options as I'd rather have black over stone.

Paying $31,408 for the vehicle with the X-Plan corporate discount (like 5% off sticker I believe). Will keep you posted when I receive any updates.

 

I'm in Butler County, what dealer did you go to?

 

Woltz Wind and Ford

 

Woltz and Wind Ford might the largest Ford dealer in the region. Their website http://www.woltzwindford.com/ is listing a 2008 Hybrid in stock. Smart readers will notice an error in the listing as it comes with a 6 speed transmission!

 

If you read through the entire blueovalforums thread where the "2009 Escape Order Guide, Now Available!" is posted, you can see some pricing info in posts #21 & #23 - in fact post #23 has a PDF attached showing pricing for three 2009 FEH :

You can see the A/Z Plan, D PLan & X Plan pricing too.
