Thank God for that story...hopefully they *have* improved. The last model I had was from 2002. Decent truck (Explorer Sport Trac) but that Ford, along with my previous 2 Fords, didn't hold it's value for squat. I know they try to give you virtually nothing for your trade-ins as a rule, but the blue-book values for Fords show that they really hold value far less than other cars, like Toyotas, as a rule. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
