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* |

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! |

Replying to: forddad90 (Dec 07, 2008 4:42 pm) As you know the FWD Ltd already has a lot of standard options (minus the extra options like: DVD, NAV, Power Tailgate, moonroof, etc.. ) I have seen extra options like the DVD and NAV on some of the models, they tend to be on the higher side of the price range. On occasion, I have seen models with low mileage and an above average condition code go for $1K above the price range. I assume they may have more of the extra options. I have not see anything close to $21K, since early summer. I hope this helps. |

Here's what I found out from a friend of mine and the numbers are based on auction prices sold between 12/02 - 12/04. Avg LTD wholesale price range: $15,700 - $16,700 Above Avg LTD wholesale price range: $18,700 - $21,800 From what I understand, the avg LTD are usually without options, but some may have a moonroof. The above avg LTD are the ones that have lots of installed options. The highest mileage for the average was 32,543 and the lowest was 12,644. For above average, the highest was 20,500 and the lowest was 7,037. Hope this information helps. Another thing to note is that there are fewer and fewer Taurus X showing up at the auction, but that may be temporary due to lower demand at this time of year.
