It's all about supply and demand and Fleet Dealers can't even order till Fall. Once that market opens, good luck getting one at all.
When I saw the release of the changes to the '09 FEH at the DC Auto Show, I decided to sell my '05 FEH and upgrade to the new '09. That's all changed with gas prices over $4 a gallon. Our existing FEH/MMH are going up in value or at lease holding there value now. I had this happen with my '67 GT 500 I paid $1,750 in 1973. The FEH/MMH is still the most fuel efficient SUV on the Planet after 4 years.

I have no problem with a dealership not wanting to honor x-plan. As far as I know they are not required to extend that courtesy to Ford shareholders. My gripe here is the outright blatent lies in the email response to my friend.
Shortage of batteries and won't see FEH's till summer 09? Then telling me that they could get one in a few months at 2K over invoice. I'm not upset over the 2K over MSRP, supply down/demand up = higher prices. But to outright lie?
