Replying to: rainmakr (Oct 20, 2008 7:59 pm) Last year, I bargain hunted between dealers and eventually got my Taurus X FWD Limited at $300 below Invoice. But in today's tough economy, you may be able to get $1000 below invoice, especially at the end of the year clerance with a lot of the Taurus X's going into the recycling bin out back. Then ask for the cash back deals on top of this. Also, if you're willing to wait, you can get another $500 off by being a member of American Quarter Horse Association for 30 days. Go to www.aqha.com and check on the deals and become a member. In my opinion the Taurus X is a steal of a deal, especially with the discounts. I've had mine for 8 months now and am still extremely happy with the car every time I drive it and use another one of use all the great features. |

This is not a bad car, it is just a very poor value when compared to others on the market (go back and read my posts for the reasons why). I doubt the dealers would take $10K off at this point, but it cannot hurt to ask. I would wait until more rebates and factory to dealer cash is make available. Good Luck!

Replying to: seloo (Oct 21, 2008 2:26 am) We're also looking some Mazda CX-9s that a local dealer has. Build date on some of the CX-9s is more than a year ago and the initial reply to my e-mail inquiry was $8,500 off. I suspect there is more there as some folks in the Mazda thread are reporting $10K off. John

Replying to: rainmakr (Oct 23, 2008 8:15 am) This is a good car, but not a good value. The wholesale price on a used 08 TX is very close to 1/2 of the MSRP. If you wait a couple of months (maybe less), you should be able to get a nice used one for 1/2 price. Without a doubt the CX-9 is a better value.

My wife received a call today offering us $9K off a $39K sticker. We were looking at models that stickered around $35,000 for which we wanted to spend $25,000, so we passed. A few hours later we drove out of a Mazda dealership with a CX-9. Details on that deal are in the Mazda forum. John |

Replying to: seloo (Oct 12, 2008 9:10 am) There's only a few in my area for sale: http://www.denverdirect.com/detail-2008-ford-taurus_x-limited-3360255.html http://sill-terhar.vinmanagersites.com/AutoDetails2.aspx?ID=2935216 What do you think is a good price on these? Or should I buy new with all the rebates and discounts out there?

Replying to: bronco1977 (Oct 27, 2008 3:52 pm) Neither have Sync (these early 08 models). Both are rental cars. The white one was purchased from the auction in late August, average prices were about $18K at the time. In October, TXs were selling at auction for around $16.5K for a car with that many miles. Based on my research, it is very likely that both cars are marked up about $2.5K each, this is normal for most dealers. As for buying new or used, I recommend waiting. TX is a very poor selling car. Ford is likely to increase incentives, while the wholesale price of this car is falling weekly. It may be worth driving a couple of hundred of miles to get a better deal from another dealer!
