#752 of 764 2008 TX offer? by digitalfreak Apr 30, 2009 (10:08 am)
Is offering $23,500 before rebates for a new 2008 TX with an MSRP of $37k ridiculous?
#753 of 764 Taurus X Sales by seloo May 02, 2009 (6:20 am)
Taurus X   Monthly 795 2,261 -64.8% Only sold 795 units in April!   YTD 3,982 9,758 -59.2%   After driving the Veracruz, CX9 and Acadia, the Taurus X appears to be out-of-date and boring.   It is not a bad car, I would have bought a slightly used Ltd for about $15K, but I missed that opportunity (Nov/Dec). Before I would purchase a new one, it would have to be the bargain of a lifetime! T   Good Luck! Replies to this message: danallan (May 02, 2009 7:09 am) bobw3 (May 06, 2009 6:49 am)

Replying to: seloo (May 02, 2009 6:20 am) I love my boring 2007 Freestyle......21 mpg city, over 28 mpg highway, 6 passenger....tons of room.....great ride....I'll re-state...."best car I have ever owned and I've owned a few......"   I'm over 53k mileage now......runs just like new   IMHO, Ford's biggest mistake in not promoting this vehicle....

Replying to: danallan (May 02, 2009 7:09 am) My '05 FS FWD has over 70K miles and also runs like new. I've never reached 28MPG, but it's usually around 20mpg around town and in the mid-20s for highway driving. The Flex is basically a TaurusX/Freestyle with different sheet metal so now they actaully are promoting it under a new name again.   The CX-9 is a sportier version and it's a good CUV. The Acadia is bigger. I've parked my FS beside an Acadia and you can really tell the difference. I think what the FS/TaurusX/Flex have going for them is that they're really a cross between a car and SUV, while something like an Acadia or Veracruz are just to much SUV for me. Ford has done a better job compromising betweern car and SUV.   One thing I wish for on the Freestyle/TaurusX and on the new Flex is better cargo space inside through redesigning the 2nd and 3rd row of seats. It's a flat and long cargo floor but not very tall. If they could design the 2nd row to fold forward and down several inches that would really help. When you fold the 3rd row, the 3rd row folded "platform" actually has to go up several inches to line up with the folded 2nd row, and there's a lot of wasted space under that platform.   But that's just picky stuff. I paid $23K for my '05 Freestyle in Feb'05 with the Ford family plan, so that shows how great the deals are right now.   It's good to wait, but anyone who wanted to buy and hasn't already has missed the boat on the best deals.
#756 of 764 Used Car Prices by seloo Jun 07, 2009 (3:47 pm)
May marked the fifth consecutive monthly increase in wholesale used vehicle prices on a mix, mileage, and seasonally adjusted basis. The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index now stands at 109.1, which resulted in the first year-over-gain in pricing since October, 2007.   Used TXs are way too much!   The best values are in new cars, but not the TX. I give Ford credit, they are letting this car just fade away without a whimper and without huge incentives, well as least not yet. I am glad that I did not buy this car, not because it is a bad car, it is not, but because I need something that can pull a boat.   Good Luck!
#757 of 764 Price Paid 5/30/09 by bronco1977 Jun 09, 2009 (5:43 am)
We just bought a new 2008 SEL with convenience package, MSRP is $30,020. We paid $22,638.70. That includes $4500 in rebates, $500 for a trade in and tax. $3500 of the rebate is a Ford rebate and $1000 rebate is for trading in a Chrysler vehicle. This was at Medved Ford in Castle Rock, Colorado. Now there is only 16 new ones left in the state. The dealers in my area have one or two at the most on the lot, some have none at all. I've been waiting over a year for the right deal, it seemed if I was going to buy a new one, it's now or never. Ray

#761 of 764 Chrome 18 inch wheels on a 08 Limited for Sale by jsedlock Jul 11, 2009 (8:56 pm)
Hi,   Just got a 2008 TX Limited. Traded in an 07 Freestyle. Liked the FS so much we wanted to get a new TX before they were all gone. However, I had to get the chrome wheels and my wife just hates them. I have 300 miles on the car. Anyone interested in purchasing? Anyone have an idea where i can get the standard 18 inch painted wheels? Any help appreciated.
