Thanks to All for the encouraging words. I went ahead and got the SEL today -- with Power pkg., Convenience Pkg, Traction control and Satellite radio -- for $19,150 plus TTL. $20,347 out the door. I think I could have done better, although the dealer mentioned that it was a very unusual day in the sense that they sold four 500s during the single day.
 
So far the car seems very nice. It feels like what it surely is: a highly evolved product and consequence of years of a large middle class able to stoke heated competition for more and more quality for less money. I'm sure there are better engines and more reliable models, but in some ways the point may be that the good people here and elsewhere who highlight these differences are a big part of what results: a lot of great options in the marketplace.

It is not that uncommon for Apples and Oranges to have different prices.

Been Lurking - Now Buying by times2

Hi Guys,
 
I've been checking this forum looking at what people had to say about the 500s. Other than some people thinking the car was bland looking, or slightly underpowered, it looks mostly positive. We were looking to get rid of our 2002 Sedona EX (poor reliability and sucked gas like a 70s Muscle Car). I was able to trade it in on a pre-owned 2006 500 SE with 22,000 miles. I got the 500 for 13,900 and was able to get almost 7,000 for my Sedona trade-in. I'm picking up the car tomorrow and looking forward to driving something more reliable that doesn't go through as much gas. Around town, we could not really go more than 270 miles on a tank, and maybe a little over 300 on the highway with the Sedona. I would have liked to go with the SEL, but the dealer wanted $4000 more for a pre-owned version of that. Overall, very happy with the $13,900 price. I played the Taurus rename into the depreciation of the 500 to work the price down a little more. I'll keep you posted on how things work out.

Sounds like a good deal. I'm still enjoying mine (it's been a week now since I got it.) The mileage seems to be in the mid twenties for a mix of city and highway driving. It's very sensitive to the exact mix though, and in particular to the frequency of needing to accelerate up to speed from a stop. But the car is comfortable and quiet and roomy.

The dealer is in Norwich, NY (which isn't really near anything). Here is the URL for the dealer and the URL for their pre-owned vehicles.

Soooo my question is, do I try to buy an 07 or wait for the 08? That new engine is tempting but am I going to have to pay much more $$$??
