  1. That is what I got as well... The 2014 Fusion Titanium Energi White Platinum Tri-Coat with Ceramic Leather Interior. What a nice car, I must say. I have had the car about 3 weeks now and thought the interior was going to be too light in color. But, when I open the door and look inside before climbing in, I love the interior more and more. I made the right choice. Wish I could post up a pic or two, but the website keeps telling me upload box or something like that is full... I have tried it a couple times now...
  2. Have not heard or seen this issue before, but am wondering if the above suggestion fixed the issue...??
  3. I just found this thread this evening as I have been reading a lot in this forum. I really like these rims and how they look on your car. That was my one area of this vehicle I hated... The wheels. I think they could have done a lot better in the design... 2015's have a 10 spoke 17" wheel that is similar to the 19" H spoke available on the regular Titanium Fusions. I am not sure why Ford took the lazy way out and figured people in all levels of the Hybrids would be happy with one rim choice. I really like this wheel though... Looks incredible! Did you have to buy New Tire Sensors for the wheels to register the Tire Pressure Sensors..?? If you don't mind me asking, how much was one wheel with the tire you chose... Or how much were they all if easier..? I had checked with my parts department today actually as I was looking to buy the 19" H-Spoke for my Energi because I hate the wheels on there and got a price for the rims only of $1,800.00 employee cost. There is a $50.00 core charge apparently for (4) rims to be returned back to Ford as well. That price does not include the Tire Pressure Sensors he said he thought were around $75.00 a piece. It definitely did not include tires either... WOW! Wasn't planning on that... lol Are you lowering your car as a preference or necessity for these wheels..?? Just curious. I don't want to get into all that but definitely like the "Upgrade" on my wheels for sure!
  4. As someone who works for a Ford Dealership, I have learned that in different parts of the country, vehicles are priced differently. Sometimes there are significant difference as well... They could be much higher in price or even lower in price believe it or not!! The "Maroni" sticker that has all the options listed about the vehicle is where MSRP is displayed. The smaller window sticker is a "Premium" sticker where dealers charge more for a vehicle based on add-ons to the vehicle or "Demands" for the vehicle. Toyota did this a lot when Hybrids first hit and their units were the only real players in town. If we fall back into another gas situation where prices boom higher than current, I am sure this will definitely occur again. This is really evident when you look at things like SVT Raptor trucks, or Shelby Mustangs. Some dealers will charge anywhere from 3-5 thousand dollars typically for these vehicles above MSRP and as much as $10 thousand in high demand areas. Looking at this Moroni and addendum, I actually do not see anything wrong with it at all... I would tell you this however, I paid less than this asking price for my Titanium Energi model so I definitely understand your concern here... Moroni's can sometimes come in with wrong information on them... And Yes, they can be changed!!! I have seen it where I work for sure...!! Not sure if there is a premium charge here where this vehicle is for sale, but if your "market" has a high demand for Hybrids in general, then that might be what ADM is for?? Not sure what else would justify their $5,000 markup... My dealership does not charge any extras for vehicles. The only add-on we charge for is Window Tinting $299-399 depending on the vehicle. We do not have any "Desert Protection" or "Door Edge Protection" unless the buyer wants it added etc...
  5. Hello All, I just got my Fusion Titanium Energi and am loving the heck out of this car each and every time I drive it. I went from a 2002 Ford Excursion 7.3 Diesel to this. I loved my Excursion and said I would never get rid of it as I was the only owner of it. But I retired from a local law enforcement agency here in Arizona and have had a time finding something new to do in the form of work. I ended up going to work at my local Ford Dealership in Sales as I waited for something more in my background came along. I enjoy cars and talking to people. As I found myself working around these cars more and more, I really took a shine to theFusion Titanium Energi and all of the options in this vehicle. Wow, truly a nice car... Well, there is a nothing more to say really other than I decided to go from 13-15 mpg's in my Excursion to currently getting over 74 mpg's as I do a lot of EV driving from my home to work where I charge up again for the drive home etc. Currently I am reading everything I can about my New vehicle so I can get the most out of my new car.
  6. Very nice work! I hope I am that good when my vehicle hits 898 miles! Keep up the good work!!

  8. I am brand new to this forum having just find it today, and a proud NEW owner of a Fusion Titanium Energi... :wub: I actually work at Chapman Ford in Scottsdale, AZ and have to say, our dealership has two of the 220 volt Leviton Chargers. We would WELCOME anyone to come in and use either one of the stations. I currently use the one out front for my vehicle now when I am at work... :happy feet: but there is one in Service as well and both are seldom used... UNTIL NOW! :) I have just joined this group and wanted to share my experiences with Ford Dealerships on this topic of using their Charging Stations... Don't be surprised however if you get questions from a sales person about your car... How do you like your car...? Want to buy a new one cause we want to buy yours... lol All part of the game for a FREE charge I guess... ;)
