Vehicle replacement time

**Raymond Wand** · 02-03-2010, 07:00 AM

My current car lease is coming due in March.

I have narrowed my search for a new vehicle to a Ford Flex (SEL AWD), and have researched on line info.

Anyone have any feedback on this vehicle or currently drive one?

Thanks.

Very roomy. Great mileage. Lots of room. Drives great. . Just nothing but a bunch of pluses. I know to folks that have one and they both rave about it. I it was not so slow for me I think I would have stepped it up a notch and bought one.

It's a Ford. Turn the key and go.

Tesla Motors - High performance electric vehicles. Available now.

Low carbon footprint. I think they are going for $100K

Damn'it Raymond this is all your fault.

I saw your post this morning before I left. I've been thinking it's time for a newer vehicle. Went outside to leave and my tranny bit the dust.
My inlaws looked at that Ford and didn't buy it for some reason. Don't remember why. I don't think it was anything negative to worry about though.
I'm done with Chevy's for a while. My Ford trucks go until I kill them. The Chevy's just seem to cost money.
Anyone driving a Honda Ridgeline? Don't know why I like them but I think I'm going to take a look.

Markus,

I got your message about the ceiling/insurance issue you posted on another thread. I sent a pm back. Get the property manager to contact me at 336-327-5523. I can help her with getting this claim honored. It may take a little work, but I have been successful dealing with this kind of objection before.

I hear they are dealin' at Toyota.

Looked at the Toyota 4Runner, but did not like the interest rates Toyota is charging, nor the $$$ up charge for specific options.

I'm with Dave Ramsey about leases, or as he calls them fleeces. To me not a smart money move.
But then, I am not one of those that have to have a new car/truck every couple of years either.
Also not a huge fan of financing stuff. But thats just me.

I'm probably going to get a Scion box and turn the T100 into the new mulch truck, and sell the current mulch truck. Just have a little more saving to do before that happens.

I have been driving a Honda CRV since 2002. Ladders go on the roof rack and the tools & crawl stuff go into the back storage area. Adequate room for passengers, decent mileage. Reliable. Not a Porsche.
