Help. Local Ford Dealer has a Five Hundred in the paper for $13,880  !! Obviously it is a SE FWD with no options. There is some fine print BS that not all people will qualify, but what programs are they using to get to this price? Okay, TMV is 20,399 - $1,000 (ford rebate) is $19,400. What else is out there for $5600 in additional discounts. Active military (don't qualify) is only $500. Recent grad (don't qualify) is what $400? BTW, they have an Expedition in the same ad for around $15k (4x2 XLS). Obviously they are trying to get some traffic since GM is doing well with the employee pricing campaign, but this is just over the top. Great deal for that one guy in a million that would actually qualify I guess. Emailed the salesperson we bought our Expedition from last fall about the unit and he didn't even know or worse yet didn't even seem to try to find out for me. Obviously the ad is a source of humour for the sales staff I guess. Thanks! |

personally i think the 500 is a great car despite all the talks about lack of power and boring styling. all that 0-60 talks really does not make any diff to me because i doubt every driver will just gun his car everytime he's behind the steering wheel and as far as styling is concern, it's just a matter of personal preference and for me, i'm just glad that there is still a car out there with a very conservative styling  and based on some research i have done about buying a ford, i think i can probably get a used 2005.5 model limited awd cvt (probably has less new model glitches) in late 2006 with less than 8k miles for about $20k. this is after seeing that i can today get a 2004 explorer limited 4x4 v8 with less than 10k mil for $25k at the dealer. |

| Just purchased a new AWD Montego Premier with moonroof, safety package, and reverse sensing system for $25,676 in Arlington Heights, IL. | |
| I just purshased a 2005 Montego last Friday 7/29/05 for $25, 700 including all taxes and fees and 0 % financing for 3 years. (I could have gotten the $500 cash back instead). This also included my $1500 1996 Sable trade in, which was used as a down payment. This was the employee discount price. The list price was $28, 395. It is a Luxury AWD with options including leather and side airbags/roof canopy airbags. The gas milage is great for an AWD. The computer shows 21 city driving and 28 highway. I still have more then half a tank of gas left after driving extensively. The CVT transmission is very smooth and the acceleration is great. Consumer reports claims it's an underpowered engine (the 24 valve 6 used in the Sabil and Taurus) but I test drove a AWD Chrysler 300 with the 250 hp engine and the acceleration was the same. It seems there is a bias against American cars in the press where value and engineering sophisication is often ignored. The Chassis based on the Volvo XC90 and S80 AWD system - is fantastic and handling very solid. Finally, the light system is very advanced as compared to the Ford 500 with LED tail lights with a separate amber signal light and HID Headlights - at no extra charge. | |
| anyone with a favorable outcome with recent purchase in southern new jersey? looking to buy before eom. any and all info appreciated | |
| Obviously from the lack of traffic lately here, Ford better roll out 25% discounts on Five Hundred/Montego. There are NONE in my neighborhood and only ONE in my parking lot at work in Chesapeake VA. FYI, the legal definition of a "New Car" is it has never been been titled. My definition is virgin, undamaged, undriven since it came off the hauler, plastic still on the interior! Otherwise, it's time to cough up BIG discounts! A "New Car" that is damaged and repaired before titled, is still a "New Car". | |

I've recently test drove a 2006 Camry XLE V6 and 2006 Mecury Montego FWD Premier and taught they were very similar cars. The Camry was more smoother and would have a ride quality of 8 out of 10 while the Mecury Montego more bumpy would be rated at 7 out of 10. The Camry would feel faster too. Also, Toyota will have a redesign Camry coming out this spring 2006 for the Camry 2007. It's going to be better and faster. That is what I call "Moving Forward". While the Toyota Avalon would ride a litte more smoother than both, I wish the Mecury Montego would be much smoother and faster. Camry XLE V6 2006 final price with tax,title and license is $23,557.00 . ($1,000 rebate) Compared to Mecury dealer wanting final price of $27,400.00 for the 2006 mecury Montego FWD Preimer with Reverse sensing and sunroof. (they said final price include $1,000 rebate with $750 for Katrina victums) It's still cost more and the Camry is a little better. I would buy that Montego FWD Premier if it was price at about $21,337.00 which would be about $7400 off of MSRP. Ford/Mecury need to stop overpricing their cars & trucks. So I ended up with the 2006 Camry XLE V6.

Replying to: heypeace (Feb 08, 2006 7:28 pm) A more direct competitor to the Camry is the Milan. It's a little smaller than the Camry, but not by much. it's also slightly cheaper. A Camry XLE V6 w/ option A (heated seats) lists for $26,700 A Milan Premier V6 w/ heated seats & moonroof lists for $25,180. |
