Is this the average without installed options? I'm assuming that the low end of the range is FWD, correct? Thanks for sharing.

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.

East Coast Auction Prices by forddad90

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.

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?

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.

Average Markup on a Used TX by seloo

Currently, I am seeing a $3-4K markup on these cars recently purchased from the auction. Wholesale prices are declining much faster than the retail prices.
 
Do your research.
 
Good Luck!

A friend just purchased an EB with 10K miles an above average condition car for about $17K (SAT Radio, Reverse Sensors, etc...)
 
Average condition cars are going for $1-2K lower.

EBs: 15K to 10K miles around $16K
 
        26K miles around $13K
 
Bottom line: Lower mileage cars right at 1/2 off MRSP, more off for higher mileage cars.
 
Bid very low for these used cars.
 
Good Luck!
