Time for a new Escape

Can anyone give me a good guess on actual invoice price of the following 2006 Ford Escape? It is getting to be time to put my wife in a new buggy for the anticipated trips to see our first grandchild.

example VIN 1FMCU93116KB35183
zip 82601

I can't figure out how to make a trip work to either Jeff or PolarBear but the idea is tempting.

Thanks for your help.

Since we can't search it by VIN, we need to know what it is- equipment level, motor, 2 or 4WD, manual or automatic.

Polarbear,

Escape XLT
AWD
V6-Automatic
Pretty much just the standard features, XLT comes nicely equiped.

I am just trying to get educated before I make a move.

thanks

The one you're looking at is in Casper? Grenier Ford, Dark Stone/Pebble cloth. MSRP $26700, invoice $25101, $1500 rebate.

A 2006 Escape XLT 4WD with no options should sticker for $25755, and invoice is $24260. On top of that, there's a $2000 rebate from Ford, $500 rebate from Ford Credit, and they'll make your first payment, up to $500.

Polarbear and Jeff

Thank you very much for looking into this for me. I never know what the real cost of a vehicle should be and am afraid of paying more than I have to. I've bought from Greiner in the past and will probably use them again. Through your efforts, maybe we can find a number that works for both parties.

One thing I am noticing- regional rebates are different on that rig. Jeffs got $2000/500, we've got $1500/$1000 on the left coast (I keep forgetting the danged FMCC bonus cash).
