Ford Flex?!?!

Don't laugh but I just picked up a 13 Flex. It was a Ford exec car........ $48K sticker for $29K.

It has more stuff on it.... blind spot, adaptive cruise, sync, self parking, on and on..... more then I need but interesting stuff.

Every time I went to a new car show I always was inpressed by this car. It can be an ugly duckling but I find myself needing to haul people and stuff from time to time and it works well.

The car is quiet and drives well. For me beats a mini van, a pickup or an SUV.

Funny here in the midwest used units are scarce. Someone said they are more popular on the coasts. Just got back from CA and sure enough one San Diego dealer had 19 advertised in his ad.

If you got the turbo model, then you did well, those things are fast for how big they are

Nice machine. We rented them a couple times and they are surprisingly spacious. The Lincoln version (MKT?) is cool too - though that one is definitely a love-it-or-hate-it styling.

True, but they suck gas. I got a Edge Sport for my wife's DD, and it's a great car. The 3.7NA has more than enough power, and the interior is very plush. Same chassis as the Flex, but has the jacked up SUV look that women seem to like. I wish it had the built in refrigerator that the Flex has.

Thanks.... the Cadi is for sale, the Flex replaced it, the GS will be replaced with a white C7 next month. All I need to do is get the wife to dump her 06 Lexus and we should be set for a while.
