Not sure about why certain color/option combinations aren't available. Were you willing to order one and wait a couple months or were you looking for one "off the shelf"?


I bought two Escape Hybrids in the last 3 months and got them both well under MSRP. I had to work a little bit on the first one but when I came back the day the first of this dealers '06 came off the truck, I really didn't have to negotiate too hard. And they gave me a great trade in for my '04 Escape.

Like was said, make sure they know you have choices in vehicle, dealership and whether or not you HAVE to get a new vehicle. They'll work with you unless the type of vehicle is flying off the lot. If you find one in the lot with two weeks of dust built up on it, call their bluff and walk away. They'll chase you down in most cases, in my experience.
