Page 324 of the owner's manual in the link I gave you says the following (it's in the table where it lists all of the fluid specs and part numbers). Not sure how you missed it. Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil (US) Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 Super Premium Motor Oil (Canada)

That's BS. EVERYTHING is covered under the bumper to bumper warranty unless you did something that caused it to fail.

No. If it bothers you that much just turn it on and turn the volume all the way down. Do you really drive a lot with it completely off?

Turn it on?

Why wouldn't this be right? If the lights are on Auto they'll AUTOmatically turn off, so there is nothing to warn about. All explained in the OM.

Just a clarification. Employee pricing must be a Canadian thing - we don't have that offer in the U.S. right now.

If it's a regular public rebate - yes. You get all the same rebates a non plan buyer would get - and sometimes additional ones.

Null is a computer term that means "no value". You shouldn't see it. It's either a glitch or a missing value. Also - the vehicles enter the online inventory when they're shipped, not when they arrive. I think it's automated - I don't think the dealers put in the entries themselves.

You must be in the retiree's immediate family to get a Z plan pin.

Yes, it's normal and happens all the time with dealer orders - you're just not normally exposed to it.

Just didn't want somebody to look online and run down to the dealership expecting to see what was on the website and being disappointed.

That doesn't mean they're on the lot yet though. They could still be in transit.

Don't hold your breath waiting for an answer - that was posted almost 3 years ago.

Shocks won't cause a roaring noise - that's from the rotating mass - either the tire or a wheel bearing most likely. I would replace the tires and the rear shocks and see if the problem is still there. If it is then check the wheel bearings.

Not sure - I don't work for Ford or a dealer. We don't have front plates in GA and all of the vehicles I've seen are shipped without the front holder installed. The dealer puts it on.

They want it to be competitive - that doesn't always translate into faster 0-60 times. What matters is how it feels in the vehicle. When you drive it does it have enough power for you? That's more important than statistics. The vast majority of buyers don't know any specs on the engine and while it's nice to have bragging rights in C&D I doubt it helps that much to sell vehicles, especially with what is essentially a tall station wagon. The only people who typically compare 0-60 times are bench racers - usually guys who memorize every car's 0-60 time and compare their vehicles in conversation in person or on the internet. as in: I have a 2011 Ford Edge Sport. It does 0-60 in 6.5 seconds which is 0.3 faster than your Nissan Murano. Not saying you're a bench racer, but you get the drift. It would make a little more sense in a sports car like a Mustang Boss (but only a little).

Do I have a problem with it? Of course not. I just don't understand it. To me that seems the same as asking if a Fiesta can tow more than a Honda Fit or if you can get a child's car seat into the back seat of a Shelby GT500 comfortably. So seriously - what would you do differently if it was slightly faster than the Murano vs. slighly slower?

Who cares if it's faster than a Murano or Venza?

c**p ????

Vehicles will show up in the online inventory when they are shipped and before they actually arrive. Call the dealer to be sure they have the vehicle you're looking at on the website on the lot. I actually purchased my 06 Fusion based on the online web inventory 2 weeks before it showed up.

What I meant was you can keep the head unit and add your own amp and speakers and still retain the factory features (like Sync and steering wheel controls). It may not sound quite as good as a good aftermarket head unit but it will sound a lot better than stock. You can at least do that first and see how you like it then replace the head unit if necessary. I've also heard adding an equalizer helps a lot.

Only you can answer that............

I own a 2006 SEL Fusion V6 and a 2008 Limited Edge. I'd go for the Edge, hands down.

Possible, but HIGHLY doubtful. With X plan the most they can charge for documentation fee is $75. Without X plan (and with a $49 over invoice price) I can almost guarantee the documentation fee will be at least $400. I've seen them as high as $699. This is just added profit. So find out the doc fee for the $49 over invoice deal. With X plan you'd be paying roughly $175 over invoice plus $75 doc fee or $250 over invoice net plus tax, tag, registration. Add the dealer's doc fee to the $49 and see if it's more or less than $250. Here is the other benefit. With X plan you get ALL eligible discounts from the factory including unadvertised things like dealer cash. e.g. on Mercurys right now there is $1500 dealer cash. This is not advertised to the public - the dealer gets to use it any way they want including keeping it in their pockets. When you use X plan there is an extra $1500 factory rebate in lieu of the dealer cash. Ford makes sure all of that goes to the X plan buyer and not the dealer. Without X plan you just don't know. Also - with X plan the dealer is prohibited from adding any options without your permission. They might only be charging $49 over invoice but they've already added paint and interior protection (known in the industry as mop-n-glo), glass etching, undercoating, etc. and they're making hundreds of dollars extra profit from those add-ons. Not with X plan. IF the doc fee is small AND there are no add-ons AND there are no X plan specific rebates AND the dealer doesn't rip you off on anything else you MIGHT save $100 over the X plan deal. Is it worth taking that much risk to save $100 on a $30K vehicle?
