Re: What did you guys pay for your 2009 FEH?
and yes Gary, it IS the best Escape hybrid yet...
I have to wonder if that $500.00 was just your broker though..I'm not sure Jerry Mullinax sells anything above sticker. That is not the way he does business. He even honored the sticker price that was already on the vehicle as opposed to using the 1k increase in price.

Fully loaded '09 FEHL AWD (Nav + Sidesteps) = MSRP $35,820
That's what I just paid last week. Of course, tax and options brought it closer to $40k. Ouch. Before I got the vehicle, my dad thought there was no way an Escape should be worth that much. After riding around in it, though, he thinks it was worth the money.
The original dealer I ordered from two months ago was going to sell the same vehicle to me for $34750, but I would have had to wait probably until Jan or Feb to actually get the vehicle. I think the extra ~$1000 was worth it, especially since my old '01 Highlander was starting to have expensive problems.

Do you guys think the price of the FEH Hybrid will come down some in a few months?
They are asking 34,000 for the one I want but I really only want to spend around $32,000 hopefully 31,000 so I can get payment to around $500 a month.
thanks
super

Re: What did you guys pay for your 2009 FEH?
The dealer I had originally ordered my 09feh from told me (on the phone) that Ford has warned dealers that soon they will only be filling FLEET orders for future 09feh's.
I am sure dealers will be finding a way to work around this restriction however....
By the way, the 09feh I had originally ordered on 04/28, still has not been built.
Good thing GARY found one for me! (in a round about way).....

Re: What did you guys pay for your 2009 FEH?
If this is an AWD FEHL, 34,000 is a good deal. If that price includes the Nav Sys, that's an even better deal. I look for gas prices to come down between now and the election, but no one I know thinks the price of gas will stay lower for long. It's all a matter of supply and demand and I haven't heard Ford is going to exceed the FEH/MMH limit of 25,000 units yet either. I get "Google Alerts" on the '09 FEH and see more and more fleet sales to Cities and other Agencies oderring them. As long as the Tax incentive of $3,000 for the FWD and I think it's ~$2,200 for the AWD, dealers should get close to sticker price. Also, dealers who can't get units from Ford are trying to buy stock off dealers who can.
Good Luck

No, Ford is only building 25,000 FEH this model year.

The '09 FEH/MMH has so many changes over the '08 model to improve mileage, I'm not going to post them here. Most of you know I've been a new hypermiler since day one in my '05 FEH, so I will just compare me and my '05 FWD FEH to my new '09 FWD FEHL.
Due to the heat, wind and general worst conditions I have now, the '09 FEHL is performing better than my best conditions in cool, calm winds and the best gas ever without ethanol. I can only get E-10 now and my '09 FEH is spiting bullets back at Big Oil and the rip off with the best MPG I've gotten ever by far. Thanks Ford Engineers, I'll do you proud at the next MPG Challenge!!!
The '09 FEH/MMH is the King Of The Road IMO!
