I was a little hesitant at first, but I think everything is going to work out alright. I think I got a great deal on the car. Total after taxes came to $23500 with the sticker being 27,240.
Thoughts?
I will be picking up the car on Wednesday with the installed leather seats.
Anyone know how long it takes from when the order is placed until the car comes in?
Also in negoiating price, is an offer of $200 over invoice too little? too much?
I'm hoping there is someone out here with past experiences that can help. Thanks!
If you want your Escape relatively soon try and find an 09 model. Right now the incentives are crazy on this vehicle and they may not be as generous on the new 2010 models. I got $5,500 off the msrp of my vehicle, almost a grand UNDER invoice.
I heard the new xlt I4 2.5 model with leather, sync and sun which is what I wanted, will start around 28,500 for the 2010 model year, a little more expensive than the 09 model year.
Also, do dealers have advertising costs that they add on to the invoice price?....I'm just trying to find out the real dealer cost on the escape I'm planning on buying.
Walked into dealership right after it closed. A salesman leaving offered a 2009 Tribute touring. 2.5L AWD. Sticker 25500. Said he would sell for 23,800 then would take another $3000 off for rebate. Puts it at 20,800. Is this a great deal or just average? Own a Ford -- would an Escape get me a better deal?
How is this vehicle in the snow? Would I be better looking for the 3.0 L for snow driving?
Would receive C4C rebate money on this vehicle for $3500.
MSRP: $28,220 (6cyl, fwd, sun&synce, audiophile, leather, cargo)
Invoice: $25,924 (does this include the $336 sun&synce disc and $500 v-6 disc?)
Rebate: $2500, $4500, $750
Total plus ttl: $18,200
Deal?
Don't think I'll buy another Tribute because Mazda is changing the appearance to make 'em look more Japanese than does the current truck. Back to Ford next time.

edmunds.com mentioned it but I can't find it on Ford's website.
Owner Loyalty customer cash is available to current owners of a 1984 or newer Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle that is eligible under the "Cash for Clunkers" program. See your local dealer for details.
Thanks.

I just picked up a new Mariner Premier. 202A package and V-6.
The 202A has moon & tune, automatic temp control, cargo package, and reverse sensing.
List 30,010, I trade in my '02 Tribute. After the 2,000 cash back from Ford, I paid 23,000.
Quite a difference from the 02. The new v6 is more powerful and quieter. I'm just beginning to learn all the electronic gimmicks.
huge difference, same vehicle, but everything is better.
i just renewed the sirius for 2 years.
gas mileage is @22 for the new one versus 19 for the '04.
Do you notice the climate control staying on high for too long and then blowing cold air to compensate? It's weird. My Honda Pilot stays on high for just about 5 minutes and then blows warm air at low fan speed.
MSRP: $29,825
Edmunds Invoice: $27,634
Chose the 0% financing over the $2,000 rebate. Paid $836 below invoice - $26,798. Even knocked off an additional $250 off their "processing" fees.
Bought it at Koon's Ford in Sterling, VA.
sticker 32,980
best the dealer would come to 31,908
invoice was 30,200
seems like they could have done better,
but no deal,
we were there ready to buy, if they had done 30,900 we
would have, but they said no
drum hill ford, MA
were we looking for an unreasonable deal?
X plan not as good as it used to be they are now adding a 450 advertising fee.
You can get the coupon, just go to the ford site and request a brochure takes about a week on email.
Getting about 26mpg on the road,20-22 local.
Car is better than our 05.
My problem with Ford is they charged me 406 for a full size spare on a steel wheel.Not real happy about that,it was either included in the 05 or it was about 85 bucks.
Old Mike
MSRP $25670
Sell for $22900 (Includes $1500 marketing support from Ford)
Deduct $2750 in rebates ($2000 Ford and $750 mailer)
Total selling price : $20150
Trade in Credit: $7000
Total selling price: $13150
6% sales tax: $795
Dealer fees: $139
Total deal: $14084
Add trade balance owed: $5286
Total financed: $19370
3.5 % financing for 60 months is $352.26 per month.
Dealer also offered at no charge the 3 year Ford ESP Maintenance plan. Think it's a good offer. Any thoughts?
Got this offer on a new Escape. Have not decided whether to pull the trigger, but this forum has been helpful to me so I thought I'd share:
2011 Escape Limited, 4WD, V6, Limited Luxury package (rear camera/sensors, Sync, dual automatic climate control, moon roof, premium stereo)
No navigation
- MSRP $30,885
- Dealer initially offered $27,200 (including current end of year $2000 Ford incentive)
- I also got a Ford customer cash coupon of $750 in the mail after reading about it in one of these forums. I requested an Escape brochure from the Ford website and they mailed it to me with a $750 coupon in the back. The dealer took it off our final negotiated price.
Therefore, final price (pre tax, title, etc) = $26,450
Limited 6 cylinders 4WD are about $25,000.
Hybrids are about $30,000. Unbelievable, no?
Frankly, you may as well buy a 2011 new.

After haggleing I paid $22,996 including $1,000 off for a cash deal no trade.
JJ a salesman at Don Vance called me later that same day and said I'll sell you the same model for $22,496 and deliver it to you 100 miles away. I stuck with the local dealer after giving him a deposit. Just a few miles from home for service. Had to wait 7 weeks from my order date.
My take on the SUV is after 350 miles of driving, the 1.6 turbo is a perfect combo for us. Getting 30 to 33 mpg on the open road is a big plus.
AWD Titanium with Nav, Sunroof and Parking - $32,632 + tax + doc fee for $34,200 with a 1.79 interest rate.
MSRP on it was $36.300
Thanks.

We are considering a '13 Titanium, but are wondering if this is the best time to buy? Will the incentives be better in January or February? We are fortunate that we do not HAVE to buy right now, so we're trying to time it out for better incentives if they'll be coming along.
I haven't been able to find any info on typical January/February incentives.
Thanks.
I appreciate your response and it will help us make a decision.
Thanks again,
Ian
The sales guy told me he was 2 cars away from hitting his year end bonus so he was very motivated to sell the car. I got lucky there. I bought the car on December 27th so I got all the year end incentives.
So what EXACTLY did you pay for your Escape out the door before tax ???
Tell us the numbers.
Dealer Sale Price $33,562
Price I paid, after rebates, before taxes = $31,062.
I have seen them on dealer lots.
