Questions about Ordering 2009 FEH

Hi all--

I have been lurking in the background the past nine months gathering information to be an informed FEH buyer, now I need the assistance of the GH FEH/MMH braintrust.

I have discussed ordering a 2009 FWD FEH with my local Ford Dealer in rural Ohio, but he has only ordered a FEH once previously, and does not have an allocation for Hybrid Escapes. Now I have three questions: 1) if I do not plan on hypermiling, is the Nav system worth the additional $2000? 2) is the Nav system GPS, or is it by disc only? 3) should I find a dealer with a hybrid allocation? My dealer said he has an allocation for Escapes, and feels he can use this allocation to order a hybrid.

Thank you for your past/ future assistance.

Jim

In the '09 it's loaded into the Harddrive (no DVD) that comes with the nav and sync. AND sync fixes the "I can't Nav while i drive" problem in older models. 3) should I find a dealer with a hybrid allocation? might help but I'm not good at this part of the ?..:) My dealer said he has an allocation for Escapes, and feels he can use this allocation to order a hybrid.
