Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 07, 2009 4:51 pm) 1) police usually drive Ford Crown Vics or whatever they call them these days. Mainly because Ford builds cars for that market, the others don't need that cheap niche market. Also, not too many cheaper RWD cars around...want RWD because they last longer and are cheaper to repair. Our town is trying out a few Volvos by the way. Police using Crown Vics is not a compliment, I have driven in taxis that are usually CVs, and that is roughing it. i don't think you understand that some of us grew up without all the eletronic helpers and we are have no fear driving a car without them. I do remember, my first cars were a 60 Austin Sprite that burned more oil than gas and a 62 Beatle VW that had some kind of extra gas heater because they didn't really have them. But, driving wasn't as complex back then. Today you need as much protection as possible, because of the other people out there. Have you ever seen those helicopter shots of guys who speed through red lights etc., that didn't happen before. You want airbags all around if you meet one of those guys in an intersection.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 07, 2009 5:48 pm) Not exactly. Here, there is a $1,300 dealer discount in addition to the Employee Pricing and rebate. That is what the dealer won't budge on---except in another color. Yes, I knew the GS was no longer around for '09. Driver mentioned it and I was just clearing it up for him. Some places still have new GS '08's. Richard

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 07, 2009 7:55 pm) I don't mean to be, but $1,300 is big money just to have my color. Richard |

Replying to: richard64 (Jan 07, 2009 8:14 pm) If an 09 GM LS in black/medium light stone is what you are looking for, try: East Carolina LM; Greenville NC Summerville LM: Summerville, SC Stivers LM; Columbia, SC Gate City LM; Greensboro, NC Bobby Jones LM; Augusta, GA All show this car in their inventory per mercuryvehicles.com..... (I think I recall you saying that you lived near Southern Pines....???) None of these places should be too far to dealer trade for or for you to investigate for yourself if you are really interested. Good luck.
