It was really tough dealing with a salesman on my own. I knew the features I wanted and figured I knew what I could get for my 93 Ford Explorer, but ended up feeling like I might have let myself got ripped off. I paid $27,100, including my trade-in which I got $1000 for. Got the GT, with a moon-roof (they said they would split the price for that in half). It's at sea right now apparently, and I am excited but still am wondering if I didn't pay too much. Any feedback would help me THANKS!

 

hey van - i'm new to this as well. i just bought a '06 3s touring (a step down from your grand touring package) sedan with auto transmission, moonroof/6 cd changer, auto dim/compass equiped rear view mirror, cargo net, and spoiler (not all options i wanted but i liked the car) for $19,600 (no trade-in) - so it seems to me as though you may have payed a bit too much unless they sold you every option and accessory available. never the less, i'm sure you'll love the car - i love mine!

 

Hey, I'm new too, so I'll join the band wagon. I got my 3sGT on Saturday and put over 700 miles on it immediately! Okay, maybe I went a little drive crazy, but it was fun. I got the 3 sport grand touring with the moon and tune package as the only addition, and I paid $22,500 (approximately, including the GAP insurance, recommended). I agree with the big purple dinosaur about possibly paying too much, unless you got every single option under the sun.

But don't worry about it, once you won't care about how much you paid for it because you'll love it so much.

If you're ever in Texas, I recommend the hill country drive, especially around the Lost Maples State Park area! It's miles and miles of the most scenic twisties you'll find in the entire state!

 

too bad i'm not livin in the south, that sounds like an adventure. would be awesome to get some nice lookin pics of your car pulled to the side of the road with the sweet scenery in the background. just to make people jealous.
