Paid $15,000 for a 2007 Freestyle FWD CVT with 22K from L&M Motors in Loveland, CO. It has F & R temp control, 6CD player, 3 rows of seats and I think that's it for options. The thing drives flawlessly and on one 350mile trip averaged 30.8mpg driving mostly 65-75mph with AC on about half the trip. City driving is about 21mpg. Have only put around 1,000 miles on it but could not be happier! OK, heated leather seats would have made me happier.

Still not sure if that is a good deal considering the extremely poor resale/wholesale value of this car. Wholesale prices are starting to go below 50% of the MSRP. 55% below MSRP would be a good price for an average condition low mileage 08 TX. Good Luck!

Replying to: forddad90 (Nov 11, 2008 7:57 am) As for the used TXs, it depends on what the dealer paid for the car. Prices will come down, but dealers do not like to (but will in some cases) sell at a loss to get the car off the lot. In most cases, the decision to sell at a loss or not sell is linked to how the car is financed (either the dealer owns the car or it is financed by a third party). Do not be in a hurry, more bad news for the auto market is coming. The next 90 days is one of the slowest times for car dealers.

Ford to offer employee pricing, cash incentives. This starts on the 19th of November and ends 5 January 09. The incentives must be really large to make a TX a good deal (at least $10-12K off the MSRP). One-year-old TXs sell for less than 50% of the MSRP at the wholesale auctions.

There is a plain Jane X that I have been eyeing for a couple of months now. Currently a $3500 rebate i s available. Hoping that Ford may kick that up to about $5k and then we may pull the trigger at 2k below invoice. That would price it at about $18k for a FWD with no options. What do you think Seloo? Too much? Not enough? I do have a friend that I can get x-plan but I think it needs to be more highly discounted than just x-plan and rebate. Maybe I am nuts.
