steve142857 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Beside my SHO, I have another Taurus... a Taurus X Ltd, fully equipped (including Navi and DVD), but not AWD. My Ford vendor told me that he would have a Flex Limited coming next week and that he could take my other X and change it for the Flex for the same monthly payments... but for another 6 years instead of the 4 remaining on the X. I love cars and love to shop them as well... My wife doesn't like the shape of the Flex that much and me, quite honestly I like it ok, not more... But when it is well arranged (and for sure if it had the Ecoboost), I like it better... For example, the Titanium version I like a lot... but it only comes in more recent years and it is out of budget... I am looking at a 2009-2010 with around 30-40K miles fully equipped with AWD. The retail price here in Quebec is around 20K-25K... I saw 2010 Ecoboost Flex around 29K$... very tempting, but at one point, I need to be reasonable... because I am not with my SHO lol... Just for fun, how much are the used Flex in the states? Thanks! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Finally, I replaced my Taurus X Ltd 2008 for a Flex Limited 2009. Black on black (but I want to have the roof painted in silver). AWD, Navi, 2 x DVD, back up camera, Sync (bluetooth), Vista roof, ambiant light, 19'' chromed wmags, heating leather seats, tinted windows and fogs... The ecoboost was a bit too pricey for my budget (about 10K$ more than the one I got). It has already 65K miles on it, but it is in very well condition and I got an extra warranty of 3yrs/36K miles for peace of mind... I paid 19,400$ plus taxes ( which is about 19K$US at this moment)... not too bad. I went on ford.ca to see how much would be a 2012 Limited Flex equally equipped and the retail price is 50,000$!!! plus taxes! ; ) It is amazing how well it drives and how quiet (especially compared to my SHO with lowered suspension, 20''s and custom exhaust!)... I wonder if Livernois could send a litlle tune for that non-Ecoboost engine... I am also considering to put their Livernois Motorsport decal on the windshield... Black Flex with silver top, a bit of chrome and the decal... sounds good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown_Driver Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 not too shabby just curious if you got the fridge option with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoBrick Bob Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Fridge costs $100. PER BEER! Best config is NO rear console and a $80. 12 v. cooler for the far rear. That way most people go thru the middle to go to the back. Dog likes that route too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Nice Steve! The Flex never really had much appeal to me, until I came to the forums and have seen what people have done with them. I think it would look cool with a silver top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoBrick Bob Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Steve, Black with a silver top was our first choice. That dealer trade fell through, so we ended up with Red Candy w/ white top. Probably worked out for the best as the black one had a black interior, which would have been awfully hot in FL, even in the winter. Still like the Black with silver though!
