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.

#671 of 765 Average Markup on a Used TX by seloo Dec 13, 2008 (4:00 am)
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!
#672 of 765 Auction Purchase by seloo Dec 19, 2008 (3:17 pm)
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. Replies to this message: superm (Jan 06, 2009 2:28 pm) seloo (Jan 06, 2009 5:29 pm)
#673 of 765 Updated Auction Prices by seloo Dec 25, 2008 (9:28 am)
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!
#674 of 765 Nav Instal? by jgir Jan 01, 2009 (8:24 am)
I'd like to buy a low miles 2008 SEL and am pretty happy with the options except that I'd like to have Nav. Is it possible to replace the radio with a nav unit? If so, do I have to go to a dealer for purchase and/or instal? I'm pretty handy with tools.   Also, I've heard that the 2009 Nav has more features. I'm particularly interested in getting real time traffic and weather reports superimposed on the GPS map.   Thanks.

Replying to: jgir (Jan 01, 2009 8:24 am) It is possible to have a Nav system put in place and I know of others who have done it with the Freestyle. However I'm not so sure you would be able to do it with a second-gen nav system. I know it needs to be programmed to work with specific vehicles depending on options, but I'm sure there is a way. The 2009 TX model does not have the new nav system, but you should get the part from the 2009 Ford Explorer as the dimensions are identical to the FS/TX model. If you have success with it, please do share it with us. Replies to this message: jgir (Jan 01, 2009 8:53 pm) jgir (Jan 16, 2009 8:46 am)

Replying to: forddad90 (Jan 01, 2009 5:58 pm) Will do. Thanks for the response, forddad90. You've cleared up several questions and misconceptions on my part.   Thanks. Replies to this message: jgir (Jan 16, 2009 8:46 am)
#677 of 765 December Sales WOW! by seloo Jan 05, 2009 (4:01 pm)
Taurus X  971  4,767  -79.6      23,112  42,110  -45.1    December sales were down 80% from a year ago and 45% YTD.   With all the unsold 08s and the new 09s hitting the lots until February, Ford needs to significantly increase the incentives on this car to clear the lots!   The wholesale price of this car continues to fall.
#678 of 765 How far to drop? by yahweh Jan 05, 2009 (4:23 pm)
I have been watching the prices steadly decline on 08s and 09s. As well as monitoring this forum the members sharing trends has been very helpful.   Seloo and Fordad90 your knowledge of sales number and wholesale price movement is impressive.   As a buyer who has no time pressure, it makes no since to purchase until you see some leveling off on the downword price trend right? Also, can I purchase a vehicle at Auto Auction or is that Dealer only ground?
