I've never purchased a new car. The closest I came was the 2006 Fusion SEL I purchased summer of '08. I hope someday I can purchase a new car, but I'm only 21 - and I just graduated from college on December 20. First goal is to save up for a downpayment on a house before I go out and purchase any vehicles ...

So happens I'm a long time Ford fan, it appears. I've purchased many Ford products for my family.

 

I really like the Taurus/Sable Wagon for the versatility, style, and car-like driving, and have purchased two pre-owned in the last 10 years. My wife got a Freestar wagon a year old. Used Fords, only 1 or 2 years old, are great deals as their resale price plummets while the car is still great.

 

Still, I loved the Taurus X so much I ended up buying one new, built exactly to my perfect desires. After a year I can't say enough about how great the Taurus X car fits my family and active mountain biking life. With great difficulty, I resist saying a whole lot more wonderful things now.

 

The other 'Ford' I bought new was a Merkur Scorpio. It was a fabulous family/sports sedan with top handling. I kept it for 14 years and only sold it because I moved cross country. It seems every great Ford car I fall in love with ends up getting low sales and canned in year or two..... :headscratch:

Car I have bought include , 1099 Ford Escort,2001 Escort ZX2 ,2006 Mustang GT . Note, I have never owned an import car or truck of any kind! Unless you count the ZX2 ,but it was made by Ford. The only car other than Ford I have had was a 1964 Buick ,what can I say, I was only 16 and that car didn't last long LOL.

The Mustang now has a supercharger on it,and makes over 450 RWHP and still gets around 25-26 MPG on the highway .This may turn out to be the best car I have ever owned. I have beat the crap out of it and it still keeps on going .post-35453-1230376879_thumb.jpg

Only 1 new ford for me

 

95 T-Bird V8 - wish i got the SuperCoupe though.

 

But I've had plenty of fox bodies and a svt Focus over the years.

 

With the new ford lineup coming out, I can see myself purchasing a few fords when I need new cars.

 

 

Transit Connect should be my next purchase.

I've only owned Fords and most were purchased new. Almost all were V8's & RWD/4WD. Only the Festiva was FWD.

 

NEW

1996 F150 SuperCab Conversion (First new vehicle, I loved this truck. Would probably still have if the car seat would of fit a little better.)

1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

2001 F150 SuperCrew Lariat 4x4 (Still have and will probably be replaced in the next year or two)

2001 Mustang GT Convertible (Still have and will probably never sell)

2004 F53 V10 Chassis under my 2005 GBM Pursuit 3500DS Class A Motorhome (Still have but would love to trade in on a bigger diesel pusher)

2007 Expedition EL Eddie Bauer (Still have and will keep for a while, it's set-up as a "toad" for the MH with a Remco driveshaft disconnect & Roadmaster towbar)

 

I also had a new 2000 Grand Marquis & new 2000 E150 Conversion as company vehicles. My parents bought the van and still have it today.

 

USED

1978 E250 Conversion w/a 460 Big Block V8 (My first and most favorite vehicle that I ever owned)

1983 Mustang GLX Convertible

1989 Mustang LX 5.0 (Daily driver turned bracket racer, won a NOPI Drag Wars in this car in 08/98)

1990 Aerostar

1979 Mercury Capri SCCA AS Race Car
