Well, I've had the Taurus over 3 years, and 118k miles, I decided it was time to unload. I didn't care to put more $ and time into it, if I'm getting rid of it in another year or two anyway. A couple of times, I thought I noticed what seemed like the tq starting to slip, so it was time to jump ship. I was getting tired of it anyway. They tried to low ball my trade, by offering only $2,900 at first! It did have some minor bumper scoffs and a ding in the rear cover. I got $4k trade for it.
I bought a leftover new '10 Hyundai Accent GLS for only $11,700, just in time before $4 gas comming this summer. I got $4,000 off msrp, and 3.9% for 60 months, so my payments are dirt cheap, less than what was left of the FMC loan, Hyundai even has gap coverage for $2 per month. My insurance went up only $2 more per month than the Taurus, I was surprised. It's a 5 speed, like I wanted, has a/c, and free xm raido for 90 days, I finaly have a usb ipod jack built in. The fit and finish on this cheap scootabout puts my old Taurus to shame. I'm taking it back to the dealer to have cruise control and tint put on. I looked at the Fiesta, it costs more, was much smaller inside, and there was a few missalined trim pieces. It's not a penalty box compaired to the Taurus, but of course it isn't as quiet, or as stable in a cross wind, like most tiny cars. I couldn't pass up the deal. Anybody know of a good Hyundai forum?
