Picked up an 2008 Ford Taurus AWD 6-spd Limited this past Saturday.
Got it for a pretty good deal, had 58k miles on it though but all highway and one owner though had all service records and was traded back in at the original dealer it was sold at. Has every option and was a CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) so the engine and drivetrain are covered for 6yrs/100k miles!

These are just the dealer stock picture, haven't had time to take pictures of my own yet.

Really nice! That interior is light years (not five years) better than the Rauder!

The interior is just about maybe more comfortable than the MM's plus has more interior room inside because of their "commanding system" setup. With the front seats back all the way there is still a good 3-4" of space between my knees and the back of the seat plus room to stretch your feet since the front seats sit up a little higher.

Yeah they worked with me on the trade in cause it was in the wife's name first and then mine but already had her sign the title. I need to give it a good paint correction treatment cause the SWIRLS on it are crazy!!

Nice! I liked those when they first came out under the "500" name.
The interior is nice, but seems a little too "busy" to me.
Plus, I've never been a big fan of wood in my interior anyway.

Looks very nice. Loaded is a big plus, those are obviously leather seats?
Great job on the 6/100K warranty too.

That's the plan!!! lol

I ordered a set of ddmtuning.com HIDs cause the stock halogen bulbs are awful so that will help out a lot spotting the deer. On the was to work this morning I think I saw 3 or 4 along side the road in just a 5-6 mile stretch of road where they like to run a lot.
