Well, with 33,000 miles, I took my 05 Trac in to get the cruise control worked on before my regular warranty ran out. The cruise would not engage immediately.. I had to push the button many times. :angry: I also asked for a quote on new tires which came in at $600+ so I decided to wait a bit longer for those. :huh: While at the dealer, I checked out the 07 Tracs and before I could leave, I bought a 2007 Trac (4x4 limited V8) in light silver. I have x-plan pricing so I got it at that price with 66 month zero percent financing. I was ready to go for the 60 month 0% financing and the finance guy said: Do you wat 66 months at 0%? :wacko: I was shocked, but accepted then added the 5 year 100K premium-care $100 deductable warranty for $1200. Payments ended up $31.00 less than my 05 4x4 XLT Trac which I traded in for $17K.
This is my third Trac, I also had a 2002 for a couple of years. Bottom line: Ford did some great things with this one: Quiet ride, nice creature features, electronic stability control, much safer feeling suspension, side air bags, roll curtain air bags, and, of course nice new Michelin tires.
So... not a bad deal: I got a new Trac with lower payments with a 100K warranty and brand new tires with no money out of pocket!
If you are like me and don't believe in having a car as a paid for asset, but rather cash flow it on a monthly basis as the expense it truly is, then you should go to your Ford dealer and look into the zero percent financing... it could put you in a new Trac.
