Ford Buyers probably feel good about owning a Ford and don't need to justify their decision. Honda buyers seem to want to let the world know how much more intelligent they are than the rest of us. Some Hyundai buyers still have an inferiority complex. I own both a Ford and Hyundai product which means I feel good and inferior at the same time.

Well... I try not to read that much into it.. People buy different makes for all sorts of reasons..
 
By the way.. any news on Ford Explorer purchases out there?

we are saying the same thing.
i'll consider a new explorer, but it either has to lose the ugly styling and smaller 3rd row form my '02, or get a whole lot cheaper to accomodate for those steps back.

Just a theory I've developed from reading different posts in several different Forums. I think it's more of an attitude I see from different Brand owners. Hyundai owners seem to want to defend their choice while Honda owners come across with a smarter than thou attitude. All I can do is guess about Explorer/Mountaineer owners since you don't read much from them. I see many of them on the road though and I love my Mountaineer's styling both inside and out. I am having a problem with whining noise which I'm having checked on the 27th of this month. Other than that I love it. Sorry no recent Explorer purchase here.

I'd be curious to know what you paid in '02.
 
I'm guessing with gas prices and the economy the way it is that you'd get an '06 for less than an '02. Which is saying something since the car has improved considerably.
 
I checked the car ads this weekend in the San Jose Mercury, which covers alot of Ford dealers. Thought I might see if there was an Explorer price leader in the paper; strangly there wasn't one Ford dealer advertising this weekend. I guess they blew their wad on the 4th of July "sales event".

i paid x-plan 'price', took the 0% for 5 years instead of the 2k rebate. also got a great trade in.
i have an eddie bauer which has totally change from what it was. i figure the sticker on a new on equipped the same would be about 10% higher.

You are correct that you can get a 2006 Explorer for less than the comparable vehicle in 2002.
 
We purchased our '02 XLT with a sticker of $33,000 for about $27,000. I can now get an '06 Eddie Bauer with more features and a sticker of $34,500 for about $26,500.
 
Of course, my '02 is only worth about $8000 in trade so they better be discounting the new ones heavily!

Looking to lease a mountaineer Luxury. Does anyone know the cash back to dealers in July? I saw on the site it might be $3500. Is this right? Any help would be appreciated.

i can't replace my '02 eddie with a new eddie for less money with at least the same features.
current eddie is pretty much the same as an xlt used to be.
