2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Limited, 4WD (U59/750A), fully loaded, ordered April 21, 2008: $35820 + $390 processing fee + $1086 tax + various filing fees + license = $37400. No trade-in figured into above. I'll be lucky to see this vehicle by late Fall since production scheduling begins 05/15/08 and production start up isn't until 6/23/08. That assumes everything ...

Escape hybrid price in San Jose

Written by: ericmui on Apr 21, 2008 04:51 AM

Went to Frontier Ford in San Jose, CA yesterday 04-19 and did a test drive on the Escape Hybrid. The salesman says all Escape Hybrids are on sale with $4,000 under MSRP. I almost bought one but did not because I want to wait for the 2009's improvements, such as stabilty control, suspension tuning, better engine, etc. If anyone want a 2008 with a big discount and live ...

It was the other link in that same post, which appears now dead. I know for certain it showed 2009 start up dates because I had a discussion with people about what I should do if I didn't receive my 2008 FEH soon. The original link (no longer working) was: http://www.donlen.com/buildstart_trucks_ford.asp Fortunately, Google's cache still has it: Google Cache ... Read More...

New buyer of 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid

Written by: alloysteel on May 27, 2007 09:25 AM

I didn't even know these cars existed, my wife took our 1999 Buick LeSabre to get milk, and she stopped in at the Ford dealer on the way.

Re: 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid Mileage Not Good [mecheng1]

Written by: exb on Feb 03, 2008 08:48 PM

Without question my previous car (a 2002 Ford Focus) got poorer mileage in the winter. I tracked the mileage on the Focus the way I track the mileage on the Escape. My hope was that hybrid power would somehow improve winter mileage, too. This week I got a pleasant surprise. When the windows started to fog up, instead of running the defroster, l set the temperature ... Read More...
