RIP 2001 Ford Taurus SE
« on: April 19, 2010, 03:32:42 PM »
It was a great car and great to drive but it is going out to the pasture as a spare care.  Time to bring in the new Taurus... ;D

Well the local dealership is offering me a 2008 Taurus with 56k miles for $12,900 and I think I'll go ahead and get it.  I'm keeping the other car as a spare car.

In case something happens to the new car of course.  I can't really get much on the trade in so I may as well keep it

I'm just funnin' with you, Vince. I'm not a car guy at all. But, 12-9 would be a good down on a good new car, and you'd get that 5-7 year full-warranty stuff. Just saying.

Go to hand it to Vince. He's a persistent one. Nothing seems to phase him. I give him a lot of props for going out on his own and working for himself. That's not easy. I don't care if he's not making a ton of money or what. At least he can support himself whatever his lifestyle. And He doesn't have to answer to anybody he doesn't want to.

Delusional about his physique though but what the hell. No skin off my scrotum.

Insurance should cover you for a replacement car if you get in an accident or car breaks down

The previous owner got every single option for this Taurus which totaled $39,000 and it was only a 1 year and a half ago that it was purchased but I guess he changed his mind and turned it back in.  Car is still under warranty for another 4 years so I'd be getting a bargain

Let the  people (suckers) who are trying to keep up with the Jones get the brand new car.  That way when they can't afford it and the dealer is stuck in a rock and hard, you can snatch it up for much lower.

Yes, working for yourself is awesome. I did it for 6 years and even on Mondays -- the first day of the work week, I never got down or stressed out. The switch side is you take the stress home and always have to treat your business like it's a baby, non-stop attention 7 days a week all year long. Unless you're filthy rich and actually have room to relax.

People that are not thinking.  If you put in all the options, it runs to about 40k easily.  The Ford Taurus is a beast of a car now.

Exactly, the new one along with the newer Ford cars are looking good.

Yeah but what happened to him?  What if there's some sort of voodoo hex on this car?  Did you even ask about it?  Due diligence, Vince.

Insurance is such a farce. A truck dropped a 4x4 piece of wood off that back of it and I drove over it, didn't even see it as it blended in the road and it was sunny. About 5 cars after me hit it also. It split 2 rims and shredded my tires causing about 5 g in damage. It was considered At Fault and my insurance went up of course. What a fukin joke. Even if I saw it I wouldn't have been able to avoid it with cars on both sides of me going 100km on a busy highway.
