Things to remember:
Block heater is not standard - must be ordered as an option

Flex has excellent trailer towing capacity and the optional towing pkg includes Class III hitch, 7-pin plug and oil cooler amd is only 500 at retail.

Current Ford incentives include 2500 delivery allowance (think cash back) and reasonable finance rates ... lease rates aren't great, but the residuals are pretty strong for this time of year (7 pts higher than Taurux X) ... so a lease payment should be pretty good relatively speaking.

If you factory ordera car, Ford has the Raincheck program - basically you get to choose the incentives you want ... either from the time you ordered or from the time you take delivery of the car.

Eg: I ordered an 09 Fusion for my wife in September when the incentives were good ... if they happen to be even better in November when we take delivery, Ford will re-write the deal accordingly.

Any links on the $2500 delivery incentive?
And FWIW we are looking at two or three from dealer stock. Two red SELs, vista roof, black leather around $40K and a full-load black on black with silver roof Limited with 20" rims for ab. $55K. OK the LTD is a dream...
