#661 of 765 Ford pulls the plug on the Taurus X by forddad90 Dec 05, 2008 (1:36 pm)
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*
#662 of 765 Wholesale Prices Continue to Fall by seloo Dec 06, 2008 (2:17 pm)
Replying to: seloo (Dec 02, 2008 4:55 pm) Limited Model:   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) Dealer mark-ups on recently purchased TXs from the auction are huge!    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: seloo (Dec 06, 2008 2:17 pm) Is this the average without installed options? I'm assuming that the low end of the range is FWD, correct? Thanks for sharing. Replies to this message: seloo (Dec 07, 2008 5:09 pm)

Replying to: forddad90 (Dec 07, 2008 4:42 pm) Forddad90,   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.
#666 of 765 East Coast Auction Prices by forddad90 Dec 11, 2008 (8:12 am)
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.

#667 of 765 Been shopping lately by all32 Dec 11, 2008 (9:39 am)
I would pull the trigger on one of these if I could just get a little more off. These are 08 limited's.   Truck A is silver birch w/black leather. All packages except DVD and Nav. Was quoted at 27,440.   Truck B is silver birch w/med stn. All packages, including DVD, but no nav, stickers at 36XXX, was quoted at 28,640. I've been at this for around 2 weeks and it feels like I'm reaching the bottom. What do you think about these prices? Any advice? Replies to this message: seloo (Dec 11, 2008 4:03 pm)

Replying to: forddad90 (Dec 11, 2008 8:12 am) Forddad,   Are these cars AWD? Replies to this message: forddad90 (Dec 11, 2008 5:57 pm)

Replying to: all32 (Dec 11, 2008 9:39 am) All32,   When Ford stop making the Freestyle, large incentives were put in place to clear the dealers' lots.   My friend in the business tells me that he expects huge discounts in Feb/Mar on 08s and 09s.   If sales do not improve, they my come sooner.   Go back and read some of the earlier posts concerning the current incentive.

Replying to: seloo (Dec 11, 2008 3:57 pm) Yes, they are all AWD models.
