Yes , just confirmed that. It is for the car only. They also will reimburse my rental on top of that. They said they have a good salvage value because of the many year's of the Taurus not changing. As far as replacing it, not going too well trying to get one for 30k. Still waiting for you guys to find me one for your 2k commision.

Yea probably will but looking at Chargers too. The ford dealer ain't moving under 37700 for essentially a 3 year old car.

Don't buy a new one. Buy a 16 for 22k and pocket the cash.

Is this from your insurance company (I assume it is)?

Do not deal with the at fault insurance until you have given yourself ample time to know it's all good health wise.

I did exactly what SM105k is saying, got a 16 SHO with 28k for $24k at a dealer. Look around a bit they're out there for fairly cheap.

There is no difference between the 13 and 19's except the little options, and well the PP and non-pp cars.

I got my 17 with 25k miles for $25k. I never would have considered one of the "new" 18s that had been sitting on the lot for over a year for anything north of $29k. I actually offered one $29k for one, the dealer got really sassy about it already being an amazing deal at $38k. Shockingly it's still sitting there, must not be that amazing deal they thought it was.

This makes me chuckle.

I had put my info into Fords website just trying to ballpark the trade in on my Limited and didn't think anything of them asking for my phone number. That was a huge mistake, so so many phone calls. I made repeatedly clear to each dealer that I wasn't looking for a new one. The worst part was I'd get a call from 3 different salesmen all at the same dealership.
So eventually I got tired of it and that's what happened with that dealership. I knew full well they wouldn't take the $29, but they wouldn't stop calling me about looking for a sho. I figured on the snowballs chance in **** they took the offer I'd be happy otherwise worst they could do is say no.

I bought a 19 sxt charger and while not as quiet, smooth or fast as my sho was, it's got way more of the fancy stuff that you never use. You sure notice the 60 hp difference and all that felt under the sho really works for noise. Maybe Ford will make a sporty sedan in future years then i will get one. I also will be moving South soon so awd will not be an issue. I keep telling myself, " at least I'm getting 23 mpg instead of 18." That's the only thing better about the Dodge.

GOOD LUCK TRAITOR! lol.

Hope the Charger keeps you safe, and is good for you. I like the Mopar's personally. If I didn't have my SHO, I would have rocking a SRT 392 Charger all day.

Just glad that you are able to move ahead. Good luck with the new ride. Transition can be difficult, but I hope it gives you a million reasons to love it :)

You should get 3x the cost of your medical bills then subtract lawyer fees from that. Make sure you get MRIs, etc, to ensure no scar tissue in the neck or back. that doesn't show up immediately. I had to get physical therapy stuff months after a minor fender bender. Was settled with a mediator. Don't let them screw you.

Miss my SHO. This awd charger v6 needs a super charger bad! Should have got the 18 SHO when I had the chance. They shouldn't make a hot looking car with all that Scat Pac stuff and have such a pig for an engine. Super charger is 6200 bucks and added to the price of the car , far exeeds the SHO price.
