Here is a little info about the Tribute so that the next things I am going to say make sense:
The 4 cylinder is the i Series and the 6 cylinder is the s Series.
There are 3 styles: Sport (base), Touring (one step up), and Grand Touring (top of the line).
They come in 2 wheel drive (2WD) and all wheel drive (4WD).
I want an i Series because it gets better mileage than the s Series. I also want top of the line (why the heck not - it comes to only around $2500 more!). I want 2WD because the 4WD is all the time all wheel drive and not the kind you can turn on only when you need it - so mileage wouldn't be as good. These three things mean that I want an i Series Grand Touring 2WD. No big deal, right?
WRONG! Apparently they think that if you want top of the line you also want a V6 4WD. An i Series Grand Touring 2WD is next to impossible to find... especially when you want a particular color. I want Monterey Gray. The salesman did an inventory search since they can get stock from other dealers. He found TWO Monterey Gray i Grand Touring 2WDs in the entire COUNTRY!!! Luckily one of them is close enough that he can have it picked up. It is located in Alcoa, TN. This means I won't have my new baby until Thursday. :( Oh, the other one is located in Norman, OK. The dealer had, on the showroom floor, a Monterey Gray s Grand Touring 4WD. Ugh.
I am so excited though!!!!!! WOO HOOOOO!!!!!! Sticker price is $25,640. Invoice is $23,994. I'm paying $22,800. :D
This page shows a blue 4WD one, but mine is essentially the same, just in gray.
