NEW FEH Owner
Hello,
Picked up muy 07 FEH last evening is So Cal. It was a 50 mile trip from the dealership to home. Interesting first drive. The trip computer said my avg mpg was 31.8 by the time I pulled in my driveway! And I wasn't trying to baby it. I was doing 65-70 (closer to 70) on the 243 or is it the 241? (toll rd) up and down hills and the 91 freeways.
So far I like it, just need an excuse to drive it more, to get used to it!
Take Care!

I'm also in socal, and hoping to get an '07 FEH soon. Just curious what your shopping experience was like. Are the dealers willing to go below msrp at all? Seems to be plenty of inventory but no dealing on the 07's yet.

While I am not in SoCal, I am outside DC, dealers here were reluctant to move much on price.
I got quotes from Dealers on the Internet and used that to beat up the local guy. When I told them to match price on identical cars they did it in a heartbeat.
Hope it helps,

Got my 2005 in SoCal shortly after they came out and were a hot item.
Found 3 nearly identical FEH's I wanted within a few miles using the internet.
One dealer didn't want to haggle.
The other two did.
Got one in early 2005 for $500 under MSRP at a time most were going for over MSRP.

Re: NEW FEH Owner
Thanks for the info guys.
I'm planning to get an '07 AWD FEH in titanium green with just one option, the 110vac outlet, nothing else. Msrp is exactly $28k. I've searched local dealer inventory over the internet, but can't find anything close to that vehicle on a dealer lot. At a minimum they all have the Appearance or Safety packages. I assume that means I would need to special order.
Having never purchased a new car I'm unsure about the next steps. Should I just start contacting local dealers with my build spec and just ask for their best price? Is a special order less likely to be discounted that a vehicle already on the dealer's lot? Thanks.

In my experience, ordering a vehicle will cost you more but at least you can get the exact car you want. It is just a matter of how flexible you are and how badly you want that certain color/option combination.
JMO for what it is worth.

Re: NEW FEH Owner
I live in So Calif and got my '06 for $100 over invoice.
The best thing to do is go online and see what they have in inventory. I wanted a white one but there was a lot of silver ones in stock. Then play dealer againist themselves. The one I got mine from said " I wont let the other dealer beat my price" lol

Re: NEW FEH Owner
Thanks Pattie. How long ago did you get your '06? That's the kind of deal I'm hoping for, $100 over invoice. I may need to wait a few months since the 07's have just come out and initial demand is probably high. I know once I actually start shopping I'll end up buying one.
