It’s not so much the front end you have to worry about...it’s when you’re visiting Mr/Ms Finance that you have to be on your toes. They call it Back-End. The extended warranties and insurances will add up fast, and in many dealerships they’ll often take a loss in the front end and still come away with a tidy profit…

Can’t imagine this would work with Ford. FMCC owns their subsidiary Leasing Companies. You can likely contact FMCC, but in my experience they tell you to contact your dealer for the Lease-End Value.

Picked up a copy of Car Magazine with the brand new 2002 Mini Cooper on the front page. Maybe it’s because my dad used to have one of these:

Have 2 kids...LOVE MY MAZDA 5. I’ve never really loved a car before, this thing fits my family’s needs like a glove. I am so bummed that Mazda is not making a new version of it. I’ll probably replace this one with another one in a few years.

I came here to read about BRRRRRRP!

Pentagon Wars - And yet it moves...on.

God forbid dealers make a profit! They should sell every vehicle at cost obviously. That’s a great business plan!

I’ve been staring at this picture for quite sometime now, and just realized how bloody terrifying it is.

Immediately thought of this when I read that.

I agree this is likely the truck that everyone should be buying. I sell far too many F-150s that are relegated to driving around the city taking the kids to hockey practice. No towing, no hauling, no going off-road. Pricing will be interesting to watch, in the past I’ve had a lot of conquest sales on the Ridgeline…

Personally a 1000lbs in the box and an 8000lbs tow rating is probably enough for most people. If you’re towing more than 8000lbs, maybe a half-ton isn’t for you anyway?

The only “special ops” truck that can actually do the job. Except for being bullet proof and stuff.

All you really need is a FIESTA!

I need a replacement for my Mazda 5. Bring it on!

Proppy - jetey

You left out the BTCC Ford Focus with a 5.0 liter V8...

Motorweek doesn’t drive Ford Fiesta’s off beach assault crafts with the Royal Marines. How is that not a relevant test drive??!

Uhm...that looks like Version 1.0 of this:

Mr. Trudeau. Your replacement for the F35 purchase awaits.

Damn...forgot to bring tissues to work. This is embarrassing. Thanks a lot dude!
