Other than that, it's the same chassis (D9), same motor, same basic suspension, etc. Check out the rapid and incredible depreciation on this gen Ford Taurus. You can get a two year old one for about 13k with under 35k miles. Anyone who pays remotely close to 30k for a 2010 Taurus is likely to regret it more deeply than most new car buyers. It should be priced from 24k to 28k, max.

I saw a 2010 yesterday in my local dealer in Estero, Lee County, Florida. They have one Limited and have two slots for new cars but it would be a December delivery. Is that not crazy!! At sticker of $34k that was even more crazy. I thought the interior was cheap with some hard plastics and poor fit and finish. I have been a Ford driver for many years and in their UK Mondeo did 50-60k miles a year. I am not sure I would want to live in this car doing that sort of mileage. The trunk was huge and the rear seats comfortable but I would prefer the headrests in front of me to be not so tall. Get it down below $30k and I might consider one where as now I may buy the Hyudai Genesis.

So What would you pay for yours? Are you suggesting ours is not a good deal? Get real. We got the Costco price minus $500 early order rebate, and 0% saves a lot. And most importantly, we got what we exactly what we want.

The dash is way too big and the gauges way too garish, and the plastic faux chrome is cheesy. At least some reviewers like Healy in USA Today is calling a spade a spade and giving a muted review of the Taurus, basically saying it's okay, but expensive for what you get. I find the fit and finish to be much better on mid-sized cars, mainly imports, costing 6k to 9k less than the Taurus. On top of everything else, the Taurus with 19" wheels rides horribly, and dealers have cars that are basically 32k and up. Ford dealers are notorious for high pressure tactics trying to upsell, too. I'd rather buy the last gen, if I were to buy one: Same motor, chassis and more interior room, for about 12k to 13k with 30,000 miles on it. |

Replying to: bruneau1 (Sep 10, 2009 7:43 am) Paying below invoice on a new car such as a 2010 Taurus is very realistic. As I stated earlier the price you piad is moot because it is what you purchased that matters.
