    Thanks! Tried this and it worked. On another note, I had shopped around for the best interest rates before going into the dealer. The best I could find was 2.18% for 72 months. Much better than the 4.9% special Ford financing was offering for the fusion hybrid. Now I have a 800+ credit score and when I got to the dealer I had the preapproved draft letter from the credit union ready to go. Well I told the salesman, and he still sent the financing guy in to talk to me. I told him about my rate I was getting through the dealer. He asked me if I would be interested in another loan if he could beat my rate. I said go for it. He was gone for 5 or 10 minutes and when he got back, he had secured me a loan from Wells Fargo for 1.89% with no extra finance fees. Needless to say I was very happy. Hopefully this will help others get an awesome rate too.

    Got my deep impact blue HyTi yesterday. The trunk was not quite aligned, I had them work on it. It was better, but not perfect yet. So far I have not had a lot of time to play around with it or MFT yet. So far I put the lane keeping on the highest level, but had not had it engage, even when trying to drift out out of lane intentionally. The brake alert has triggered a couple of times. I have got to spend some time with my nose in the manual. The text messaging and pics from phone book not working with my galaxy S3 yet, but have some leads on fixes I needed to try. I had it on cruise control at 55 and at steady speed but still showed gas engaged. Don't understand that. So far on my left lcd screen I don't think I have seen gas and battery working at same time. But might just of missed it. I thought they could work completely in tandem especially if you hit the gas. There is a lot of awesome things about the car so far, but thought you guys would be interested in criticism more.

    Well my new fusion will be ready to pick up tomorrow. I have tried ordering plenty of brochures online for the fusion and different models, and never got the $750 coupon. Is it too late for me? I am living at a friend's house, so I could have him call first thing in the morning. Any ideas or suggestions on how I can get one before I pick my car up later in the day?

    The dealer said I should be getting my HyTi today our tomorrow! I was wondering with the new quarter's incentives was there any dealer cash added? Because I am using my x-plan and we are supposed to get dealer cash as well. Also I have ordered like 6 brochures and never got the $750 coupon, eerg! Now I suppose it is too late.

    Does any one have a clue how long it should take from build date of 3/25 in HERMOSILLO, Mexico to Delivery in Florida? My Birthday is 4/4, so a new car would be a good gift! Now if only if I can get it by then and wrapped in a big bow. On a second note, I am not that thrilled with the 18" Inch Polished Face with Flash Gray-Painted Pockets Wheels that come with the HyTi. I would be willing to trade out right for the 17" Sparkle Silver-Painted Aluminum on an SE, as long as it is not a create a big problem with the speedometer/odometer with the size decrease. If the size decrease is a big hassle, I would trade for 18" 5 Spoke Premium Painted Aluminum Wheels. I would much prefer the 17"s, plus I am guessing the tires may be cheaper too. Also how do you find out the build day? I just know the build week.

    Heads up for Florida residents. Like most of us, I was expecting to actually be driving my new Fusion already. My lease on my old car was up on Feb 20th. So I am officially carless. Unofficially I am borrowing my Dad's car. Here is "The Rub". Florida does not let you continue insurance on a car you no longer lease or own. But if you go without any insurance (since you don't have another car to insure) for more than 30 days, your insurance rates will increase. Florida pretty much assures you will get screwed over if you go anytime without your own vehicle. So far the options as I can find are: 1. Don't notify/cancel you old insurance until you know for sure your picking up your fusion in less than a month. (I can't say if this is legal or not) 2. Start Insurance on your Fusion early. They really just need the VIN. (I don't like paying full coverage for the extra months it could take to get my Fusion) 3. If you are living with anyone else, parents, gf, bf, or roommate, have them add you to their policy and just pay the difference. You do have to be living with them for it to be legal, provided you're not still claimed as a dependent by your parents. (This is probably the cheapest option) Model: Deep Impact Blue Metallic 2013 Fusion Hybrid Titanium (P0R, 900A, 53B, 55M, 90A) Price: X-Plan $33055.19 Date Ordered: 12/27/12 VIN Available: 3/4/13 VIN #: 3FA6P0RU4DR281842 Window Sticker Available: ?

    Well was just about to jump to anouther dealer, per my other post. But got my VIN for my HyTi today! I tried looking up the window sitcker, but had no luck. Now that I have the VIN, how do I get the build date and such?

    Ok I am officially tired of waiting. I ordered my blue HyTi on 12/27/2012. Just called the dealer and no VIN yet. I asked if they could use one of their allocated units for my order, and they said they had none but would increase my priority. Also they said to call back Tuesday. My lease was up Feb 20th. So I am having to borrow a car now, and am afraid I won't be able to get the lease conquest bonus. I live in Jacksonville Florida. How can I find out if any dealers near me have a dealer stock order with a VIN already? I would be willing to jump ship to another dealer if they have the same approximate features as the HyTi I ordered.

    I can't imagine why the Hybrid Titaniums would have a harder time recieving the "Okay to Buy" then the Energis. They already make Titaniums, and they already make Hybrids. The Energi is the newbie. I feel like Ford could have the Hybrid Titaniums in production tomorrow, but are probably pushing them aside to get the Energis out. The Energis being the newest and best to complete with other Plug-ins. We get to be Red-Headed Stepchilds having to wait until everyone else gets their cake.

    I will jump on the hating black leather bandwagon. I live in Florida, Tan/Dune is way better. Why is it when we order the top of the line our color choices get limited. This is a major blunder on Ford's part. We should get even more choices like midnight blue!
