I chose to purchase the new Ford Escape Hybrid at this time for many reasons. Once one has made the choice to go to Hybrid ( a bleeding- edge decision like...
Mike, that's not a rant, that's an informed buying decision. I just sold my Highlander to buy the Escape Hybrid. The Highlander was great, but a little too...
What's the usual time from the "build date" to actual delivery? My build date was a week ago. My salesman is kind of blase about the whole thing, so it's not...
All I can tell you is my experience with my dealer rep. I ordered 9- 21-04 and was told at that time the expected days from order to build was about 30 days...
My salesman told me he had a partial VIN about a week ago, around the time of the build date. The 30 day +/- time frame is within the estimates offered by my...
In my experience, few salesmen know whereof they speak on these issues..most do not even go to the tower and check documentation but simply go out back, have a...

Got my VIN and build date at St Louis (Claycomo) is November 15. Placed order at MSRP with $500 deposit on 28 August...changed color and equipment on the...
Six weeks is amazing. I placed my order and made a deposit with the dealer on 6/25. The factory started building it on 10/11 and reported the full VIN back to...
... FWIW, I have the side curtains installed. First, I've learned never to believe what a dealer tells me. I must have visited a dozen when the hybrid was...

... I hope your hybrid Escape arrives on schedule. Hope for an early arrival since I suspect demand isn't quite what Ford expected. I'm flummoxed that mine...
