Replying to: seloo (Nov 24, 2008 2:52 am) When compared to others (Mazda, Toyota. etc..) and the poor resale value, this is not a deal. NO DEAL. A used model at 50% off the MSRP may be a deal!

Let's leave a little room here for members to report Prices Paid, or offers received.. Any number of new models have poor resale, but we need some numbers for new sales, so that others can compare.. Some members might want a Taurus X, regardless... thanks, kyfdx |

Replying to: seloo (Nov 26, 2008 5:30 am) So I haven't bought a car yet. Here is why... I can't help but think that Ford will come out with excellent end of the year incentives in the next month to clear TX at the end of 2008. Does anyone have an idea if this will happen or if I should just take the best deal out there on a used low milage one like those I listed above. I just don't want to buy now and be sorry in three weeks if Ford starts giving them away. Any guesses or advise would be appreciated. I would really like a new Limited Loaded but cannot justify the price difference between the low mileage used TXs.

Replying to: lew8 (Dec 01, 2008 3:29 pm) I'm not sure why you're holding for a new one if you're concerned about the price difference. You should already know that the value of the car will drop like a brick once you drive it off the lot even with an increased incentive. A used TX is a year older or a little longer depending on service and I think they are an absolute bargain depending on where you look at. What exactly draws you to the "new" car over a "used" car? How much value is it to you to be the original owner of a TX? Only you can decide, so good luck. On another note, a friend of mine told me that a completely loaded Limited AWD w/ 7K miles at a Ford auction was listed at $21K. By completely loaded, he meant every option available on the Limited including navigation, dvd, power liftgate, etc. Hope that helps anyone.

Replying to: forddad90 (Dec 01, 2008 4:19 pm) Yeah - I think the used TX is a better bet because I really don't care about being the original owner. I am having a difficult time getting access or finding someone who knows how to access the auctions. Any chance your friend could help me? I cannot seem to find a loaded X like you mentioned above. Heck, I would even drive that car home if I had too but cannot find a loaded X with low miles anywhere at auction. Can you help? If I could buy that loaded TX I would.

Taurus X: 1,234 2,728 -54.8 (Down 55% for the month, a slight improvement) 22,141 37,343 -40.7 (Down 41% for the year, a slight increase) With a glut of inventory; Ford must find a better incentive plan to sell this car. Without a doubt a slightly used TX is the only smart option for this car.
