Re: Fred has moved on...
So, Shawnee Mission Ford (Yahoo Autos) has Fred listed as an automatic & asking about 12,500......they gave me 8350 as a trade in.....plus it saved me 730 in sales tax on the escape.....so in my mind I got 9080 out of Fred. Kelly BB trade in value for Excellent was about 8400 ......private sale KBB Excellent is about 10500.........
If anyone goes to look at it........it's a stick not an automatic as they advertise....
to dicker with them
1. When I had the windshield replaced .....they got black glue on the headliner....I got the windshield for free.....but never replaced the headliner....instead....well look close you'll see how I jury rigged a cosmetic fix.
2. I always left the spoiler up (liked the look)....the spoiler works fine....but developed a slight tick sound when going up/down.
3. Front bumper .....I was going to repaint......look close......something about getting to 100 every day over 89000 miles affects the paint on the front bumper.
4. Tape dot over TPMS light
5. Rear pads are original pads. Front are new ceramic.....did not turn rotor.
coolant, brake fluid & spark plugs are new. Tires very new.
6. Lighter socket works but .....plug doesn't.
I'd think $11K to $11.5K would be a fair price......oil has always been changed with M1 0w-40 with 1000 miles left on the monitor.
