I'm confident you aren't going to find a trade on this board.

you need to learn what an "average" is... definitely not a range of 15 mpg... WTF

Its really not the season for selling cars (going by dealership insentives)... unless you sell dirt cheap...

Sorry.

I'll take $8,200. That's $1,000 below Private Party Value.

Scotty-

In all honesty, I don't think there's much of a market on this board for the car...you might have better luck on FJ or FF. Not to say I wouldn't buy it if I had the cash, but I've got a bit still to go on the SVT's loan....

As has been said, it's a tough market right now, you're probably gonna be better off trading it at a dealership if you need something bigger.

Scotty, you need to settle down man. Don't get all hyped up because you cant sell your car on a focus forum. Most of us already have cars we want or have too much into to trade or ditch for an ST.

Thanks guys. I'm just so dang tired of the sore knees from them hitting the console area. I've totally given up on the forums for selling/trading my car. I get the hint(s)

Sometimes I have more hope than common sense.

I've moved to craigslist and the newspaper. The price is down to $8,000 there. I have a lady coming to look at it later today...so we'll see how that goeseth. I am looking for a Malibu Maxx for the space and the low/affordable price. If anyone knows anyone who has one for sale, LMK. Thanks. Sorry for getting worked up. I was out of line.

Downgrade....Find some hatch seats for the ST and swap brackets, it'll be cheaper.

Hymph. I thought the ratings and reviews on that car were really high. Anyways, I got an offer for a trade on a Ford 500 today. The car is loaded with all options. The guy wants my car, but wants some cash on top to even out the trade. We're slowly working out the details. I'll keep you guys updated. AWD would be great for the winters here.

Someone flagged my craigslist ad in the cities. It's obviously not a scam-ad. Did someone from here do it? I know a couple of you may not like me much. If you did flag it, speak up. I'm curious as to why.

The 500 is a great car, it should be plenty big enough as well. Hopefully it'll work out for you.

Thanks Steve....in your expert ford opinion, what should be the most I offer on top? 2, 3, 4? His car has about 50,000 miles.

I have no clue on pricing, the last thing I bought was a '99 Windstar and that was almost four years ago.
