#726 of 765 Re: Used 2008 TX market [seloo] by jgir Feb 17, 2009 (5:15 pm)
Replying to: seloo (Feb 16, 2009 4:17 pm) TYVM, Seloo.   Myride.com includes a lot more possibilities. It appears to be a browser of many sites like cars.com, most of which I've never heard of. This should keep me occupied! Very interesting...   thx, Jim Replies to this message: seloo (Feb 19, 2009 6:32 pm) superm (Feb 25, 2009 1:05 pm)

Replying to: jgir (Feb 17, 2009 5:15 pm) Interesting, Ford is offer $3500 cash for the 2008 models and $3000 for the 2009 models. (The 09s have a price increase).   We need to see $6-7K rebates before this car becomes interesting! Replies to this message: superm (Feb 25, 2009 1:05 pm)

Replying to: seloo (Feb 19, 2009 6:32 pm) They've upped that rebate for 2008s to 4500 for this area (Philadelphia). Interesting that while some dealers are pushing prices down in an effort to sell (e.g. $24k for lightly equipped new 2008 EB), others are pushing ~$23k for a AWD SEL with 14k miles!   In this area they're down to about 25 remaining 2008s from 40 in November.   I've got a local dealer looking through the auctions for an EB/limited and hope to find something in the next 1-3 weeks.
#729 of 765 Wholesale Price Increase by seloo Feb 27, 2009 (5:11 pm)
Auction Prices increased in February, if a TX was recently purchased at the auction, it is not the time to buy a used TX.   Dealer mark-up on this car continues to be $3.5-4.5K.   This price increase is likely to be short-term situation.

Replying to: seloo (Feb 27, 2009 5:11 pm) Yep- local dealer looking said cars that were 15-16k are now 18-20k with similar or slightly higher equipment levels. Higher miles too- 19-22k miles. Said by the time they got one they'd have to sell for 22-24k. Can get a NEW, but near base, EB from another local dealer for 24k out the door.

Replying to: superm (Mar 01, 2009 9:21 am) Agree, at those prices, you may be better off with a new model. Yes, 15-16K TXss are now 17-18.8K. I only see one car above $19K, very low miles and Above Average Condition. Dealers are also increasing their profit margins to take advantage of this increased demand in used cars.   This is a supply and demand issue for used cars due the lack of people trading-in cars because they are not purchasing new cars. It will be interesting to see how long this lasts, before to car companies increase incentives to move new 08s and 09s.   Wholesale Prices Rebound in January After the worst fourth quarter on record, wholesale used vehicle prices (on a mix, mileage, and seasonally adjusted basis) rose significantly in January. The 3.8% increase during the month put the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index at 101.7 and reduced the year-over-year decline to -6.8%.

#732 of 765 Sales by seloo Mar 05, 2009 (2:05 pm)
Replying to: seloo (Mar 01, 2009 11:21 am) Taurus X 1,160 2,154 -46.1 2,039 4,388 -53.5   Same story sales continue to fall for this car.   Maybe Ford was able to effectively manage inventory for this car?   Could see some real bargains later this year.   Do not recommend the purchase of a new or used TX at this time.

Replying to: seloo (Mar 05, 2009 2:05 pm) Wholesale Prices Rise in February Wholesale used vehicle prices (on a mix, mileage, and seasonally adjusted basis) increased significantly again in February. Seasonally adjusted, February’s rise was 3.7%, which came on the heels of a 3.8% increase in January. The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index now stands at 105.5, which represents a year-over-year decline of 2.4%.   Used TXs are really over priced now!   The TX has the crossover market's worst resale value.
#734 of 765 Look in the SE for off lease cars by ShelbySaab Mar 15, 2009 (5:16 pm)
I purchased our 08 EB from our local Ford Dealer, it was Corp off-lease program car with 19K on the clock & paid $19,500 for the car. It was pretty clean with sunroof & Multsync and new floor mats. Drove a "new one" just to compare with the off lease car, could NOT tell any difference. We are very please with the 26MPG and how the car drives. Ford shouldn't have any problem selling the TX it's a fantastic wagon..   Middle GA Replies to this message: jgir (Mar 16, 2009 9:09 am)

Replying to: ShelbySaab (Mar 15, 2009 5:16 pm) Congratulations on your purchase! Could you tell us whether it was FWD or AWD? Did you test drive both and, if so, could you see a difference in driving behavior?   Thanks!
