I purchased my '08 Escape from that same exact dealer earlier this summer. I recognize the Shelby and if you look at it close enough, you can probably find my drool on it.
I had a good experience there on the first Escape I bought and went back to the same exact guy to get the second one. I believe it's just the luck of the draw at dealers. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Lots of the sales guys are jerks but the guy I worked with was good. Straight talk, no BS. I told him the deal I wanted and he did it.
Glad it worked out for you at another place though.

Talked to the GM.. after him & the salesman apologized a bunch they offered me alittle incentive to wait.. so I bit and am now waiting till the 30th.

This may be a stupid question, but I just want to cover all grounds. When I ordered my 08 a couple months ago, I had my X-Plan price on my VOC. My original salesman is no longer with the dealer. When I go to get my car, I shouldn't expect any "surprise" in the price right? Like some BS markup or whatever. It should be the "Balance due on delivery price" from the sheet my old salesman and I both signed?

Jason you're lucky, we're both in Jersey, and you ordered yours after mine and got it before mine ha. I wonder how they work that out at the plant, doesn't seem like they have a protocol or what not..

It's all about allocations......
I ordered 8/22, and it looks like I'm in the same boat as you.
I'm glad that I didn't order from that certain dealership in Old Bridge that you did,,, Almost 2 months just for an allotment!!! I'd be ****ED.
As for me, I figure that I'll have mine in 2-3 more weeks. I'm not even anxious anymore. It's just more time to save up for some mods.
