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.

Posted on Edmunds site: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=137210 It never got the attention it deserved from Ford in terms of marketing. After all the marketing efforts they put into the Flex, it only managed to sell 2,203 of them last month. Considering that the Flex costs a few thousand dollars more and has virtually the same gas mileage and seating capacity, this was not a smart move by Ford. Now they don't have a cheaper alternative to the Flex. *sigh* |

Replying to: seloo (Dec 02, 2008 4:55 pm) Miles: 13-22K (Price Range: $13.9-$15.2K) Miles: Less than 13K (Price Range: $15.8-$16.3K) EB Model: About the same prices The Limited may be the better value (more options), while the EB has better name recognition and lot appeal (two tone paint). Retail prices are starting to fall as the lower priced cars hit the lot! Good Luck!

Replying to: seloo (Nov 22, 2008 4:20 am) Example: TX EB Sold at auction for $14.3K Dealer Asking Price $20K. WOW! -------------Update------------ This unit was just marked down to $17.9K. It is still too high, but this example illustrates why buyers need to understand the used car market place for this model. Good Luck! |
