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

Taurus X 1,148 3,109 -63.1 3,187 7,497 -57.5 Another poor sales performance for the TX. This is not a bad car, but you must buy it really cheap. It has the worst resale value of any car in its class. There are plenty of new 08/09s still on the lots! If you work hard, you can get $12-13K off MRSP!

Replying to: penguins1 (Apr 02, 2009 7:21 pm) Many of these cars are been on the lots over 400 (+) days. There are a lot of factory to dealer incentives out there. As far as value, the 08 Mazda CX-9 and the Veracruz are a much better overall value. Good Luck! |

A reporter wants to interview someone who drives a 3-row crossover, has kids and plans to drive the vehicle to a vacation destination instead of taking an airplane. If this describes you, please respond to jfallon  edmunds.com by Monday, April 6, 2009 and indicate your vehicle's make and model. Thanks, Jeannine Fallon Coporate Communications Edmunds.com |

Still the best I am getting dealers in my area to do is ~$6000 off MSRP. We really need a third row that accepts car seats and this vehicle is the one we can make fit our budget the easiest (~$20K). I can't believe 2008s aren't being given away.

Replying to: seloo (Apr 04, 2009 10:04 am) We are also looking at used ones. The trouble is we want a bench second row and those seem hard to come by. Do you think getting a 08 Taurus X SEL with ~20,000 miles for around $18K OTD is possible? There is a private party resale on an 07 Freestyle with 6000 (that's right 6000) miles for $14K. Not a bench seat though! That would be really tempting otherwise!

Replying to: penguins1 (Apr 04, 2009 11:33 am) It is not a refined as the TX (engine, transmission, soundproofing, etc..), but in this used car market $14K sounds pretty good. A number of people on this board love that car. I was warned by my friend in the business concerning possible problems with the CVT. Used TX SELs w/10-20K miles were selling for $12-13K in Nov and Dec 08. Prices are up due to a shortage of cars on the used market. If you can find a SEL that was purchased at the auction in the Nov/Dec time period, the dealer should have a low enough cost to make that deal. Cars purchased Jan to date, are $3-4K more expensive. I had a dealer offer me a new $35K MSRP Limited for around $24K. Over the next few months, a new car deal may be a better option. Good Luck!
