Add in the tax credit, and I'm pretty happy with the result. All told, after the additional fees and taxes, we financed $36,136 over four years at 0.9%. I'm pretty sure the dealership trade-in manager low balled it for $700 because he didn't want to deal with it (I don't blame him!), but with the extra trade in cash, we were able get far more than we would have made in a private sale (and without the hassle). The real kicker for us was $3000 extra from Ford corporate for trade in on our 2007 Kia Sedona mini-van with 125k miles on it. Between the X-Plan and some other promotions, $1950 got knocked off that price. The base price plus delivery came to $40,770. Lastly, since I'll probably be asked about it, I'll mention price. I think I have a handle on the basics of wheel sizing to keep the overall diameter the same, but if anyone has experience fitting 4th gen Escapes for winter tires, I'm all ears. Living in Michigan, we decided to buy a set of winter wheels and tires. Im not a big fan at all of Antimatter, nor am I a fan of the 2021 F150 front-end body style. Just throw a little more black in there and call it something cool, and people will buy it. Id almost bet thats how the color came about lol. One downside we knew going in is that the PHEV Escape is FWD only. Maybe Im wrong but Antimatter Blue literally looks like a darker shade of Fords Blue Jeans color. I'm not much of a car guy, so feel free to suggest other improvements. I'd like to get some film to protect the headlights (I hate scratchy foggy headlight plastic) and some splash guards. Excepting some Smartliners as a gift from my in-laws, it is otherwise factory standard at this point. We were moving from a minivan down to the Escape, so we added the roof rack and the towing package, with the idea that we can expand the carrying and hauling capacity as needed. I probably would have skipped on the upgraded upholstery and B&O stereo if given a choice, but I didn't mind paying the price to get the other features we wanted. We decided to go for the Titanium trim line to get the full CoPilot package and the upgraded headlights. I think I can get used to the red carpet treatment. After driving home from the dealership, my first trip was driving to the airport and getting a great electric vehicle spot with a free charging station. This is our first car purchase in 10 years, and our first new car purchase ever, and we are absolutely thrilled with it so far. We put in our order in June and were pleasantly surprised to receive it on September 2nd.
