So, every day I drive our FFH I wish we had bought one with a few more features. Every time I look at the front end and see the stone chips I regret the decision to pass that plow in New Mexico during our California road trip. I happened to find online today a local dealer with a 2013 FFH SE left that they're trying to clear out. Click here for the window sticker. Here is a link to the car on their website. Based on my calculations, if we got KBB trade-in value for our current 2013 FFH SE we would only be taking a loss of $3000 for depreciation when I offset the depreciation with the additional features the FFH linked above has. If I only count the features that I in hindsight wish we had bought on our car then the loss is closer to $6000 since the new FFH linked above includes features we don't really desire such as: premium paint, 18-inch wheels, Navigation and premium floor mats. When we drove our car off the lot the difference between the sale price of the vehicle and the amount we owed on our loan was $12,000. Since we've paid down our loan quickly the current KBB value minus our loan balance remaining is $17,000. The only thing that would be missing on this white FFH SE is the push-button start. I searched and searched for a leftover 2013 HyTi or a 2014 SE with PBS and not a lot of other features and I can't find anything. I wouldn't really want a 2014 anyway because of the loss of the Lifetime Summary. So, basically, I don't know what to do. I e-mailed the dealer this morning to ask them for more information and I haven't heard back yet. I think the only way I would make this deal is if they would give us $22,500 on the trade in and sell the new car for no more than $32,500 before Ford incentives. What do you think? Am I just being discontent & greedy? :spend: :drool: :play:
