Just out of curiousity...how much of a deposit did you leave to order your FFH? I have never had to pay a deposit before, but I would imagine given the circumstances that all dealers are asking for one. Just finalizing everything before we order ours from the dealer. It is very difficult deciding on a color.
Not that there are that many options...

BTW, the FFH is the best car I have ever owned, and a real head turner.

Congrats frankieboy! I just picked mine up too
. I'm getting great gas mileage so far. On a approx. 50 mile round trip to the airport the other night (mostly highway), I got about 43 MPG, and that was with the AC running on low. I love the way the car drives and the way it looks. The interior looks especially cool at night with the ambient lighting set. It's without a doubt the best car I've ever owned.
Regarding the deposit, I also put down $500 when I placed my order. When I came back to purchase and take delivery of the vehicle, the salesman gave back the check (it had never been cashed). To be honest, I don't think they would have cashed it even if I'd changed my mind, as the dealer could have easily sold it to someone else without the forethought to place an order.

Sounds good to me. If the Nav has improved that much, kudos. I do think that Sync is interesting, but until the FFH comes in a hatchback configuration, I just can't see spending 27K. I won't even spend that on a Prius. Since my last posts, I have test-driven a FFH. Nice car, the handling and power were fine for me, the Sync was impressive, but I just can't see $31k for it.

I made a mistake and orderred a '09 FEH though Autonations and my broker and that is not a Ford issue. The '09 FEHL is perfomimg fantastic and so is the Navi. My lifetime MPG is over 48mpg in my SUV and getting better everyday. I'm working on a 54mpg tank now so how is your Prius doing?
