Re: I Need help ASAP!

I recommend writing a letter to Ford. There are plenty of people buying '05's in 2006 that will not qualify for the credit. It is a simple (I think) matter of them "certifying" it with the IRS. If they do so within the next couple of months you can then apply for the credit. Otherwise, there is nothing you can do. It is in Ford's hands so Ford needs to take action.

Re: I Need help ASAP!

Hey, guys look at the IRS web page that discusses "qualified" cars....just before it starts the list of eligible cars there is a sentences that reads (additional vehicles may subsequently qualify for the credt) or something like that....is that my loop hole for my 2005 FEH getting in on the deal? Check it out!

I was also able to get upgrades that I had not planned on getting on the 06-safety package, apperance package, and leather package, plug in in the console, rear floor mats and retractable trunk cover...I have had the sucker less than 24 hours but I love it!!!!! averaging 28 miles to the gallon so far..I am very happy...i still am thinking about a way to get the tax credit though...once again thanks to all who replied!

Congratulations on the purchase. If you do choose to contact Ford, here's the info. I just happened to have it open in another window on my computer (for a completely different reason... very negative experience @ my first Ford service visit, documented elsewhere here.) LOVE our FEH, btw; the negative experience has nothing to do with our Ford Escape Hybrid, itself.
