Re: Best time to buy?
I just bought my fwd FEH a few days ago. I followed the development of the FEH very closely and had been thinking about getting one for the last year or so.
You folks are correct, now is a great time to buy. My dealer actually gave me credit for the last 3 lease payments of my F150 (the lease was prepaid) and a special "lease loyalty" of $500 in addition to X plan pricing (through my employer) and 0% interest. I think he pulled the $500 lease loyalty out of his butt since I haven't seen that advertised anywhere. Either way, I walked out with an awesome truck.
By the way, this is my first post. I have been reading this forum for a couple of months now and really enjoy it. I have already put to use many of the tips for getting better MPG (two taps on decel, etc). I never thought I would be a guy who drove for FE, but let me tell you it is very exciting to see if you can make it through the neighborhood to your house on EV power only. I try to use as much of the batt at I can at the end of a trip. I figure the gas engine runs for a few minutes on start up the next morning anyway, it can charge up then.
Last point - the favorite thing about my FEH is coasting up my friends driveways on EV power. Very cool, very stealthy. Always makes my friends smile and make a comment. Feels a little like pushing your parents car up the driveway after an unauthorized night out with it.
