Got it. Thanks for the info! I will definitely be making the decision about a month prior to 5/10, so if I'm at 35 months since new I should still qualify for the new car plan, right? As for lease negotiation, I was under the impression that Ford would rather the lessor keep the...

It's got 31,500 miles....but I priced it at 36,000 miles, because I won't know until close to then if I'm going to keep it. At 35k my service guy is going to go over it with a fine-tooth comb for me. It was purchased 5/07, and is due back 5/10, so I won't doing this until March or April of 2010...

Thanks for the info! My lease is about to expire on my '07 2WD Limited, and I'm thinking about buying it with an ESP. I checked the Ford link you gave us, and it said that a 7/100 with $50 deductible was $1715. Would it be cheaper to buy from you, or negotiate it as a part of buying the Trac in...

Let me first explain my background first: I have always owned only BMWs or Porsches since I turned 17 in 1981. Sometimes both at the same time. And while I loved my collection of Germany machines while I owned them, I kept upgrading and upgrading until I found them to be SO special that I didn't...

Oops....forgot about this. I'll shoot you an email.......

The greatest Harmony remote on the planet if you have TiVO , IMHO. All the other Harmony remotes have button configurations non-condusive to TiVO. Since they don't make the 676 anymore, I've purchased a few backups on Ebay, since they seem to only last a little more than a year with heavy use...

Neither, IMHO. If available, go with Verizon FIOS TV.

The '07 coin holder is a joke. Is it in a different place for '08, or did they get rid of it altogether? By the way, I LOVE that new little storage spot for your cell phone!

I've had my '07 Limited V8 since May, and I came from an '02. I mostly love the '07, especially the quiet, smooth ride. Here are my complaints, mostly minor: 1) poor gas mileage - I'm getting 11.4 MPG. 2) the bed is deep - it really needs a side step to access the bed at the point closest...

LOL! TJR, I knew that you were just kidding, and now looking back I didn't even mean to single out your response. I was just concerned that Zach stayed on track to fix his problem, and didn't waste his time responding to advice that had nothing to do with the problem. And yes, I guarrruunnnteeee...

Zach....your problem has nothing to do with where you bought it from. Do yourself a giant favor and listen to what I am telling you. Find a local reputable car stereo installer who knows two things: what a delay is and how to install it for your sub. It shouldn't cost very much (less than $100...

You need a delay for the sub. I had this problem in both my '02 and my '07, and it was fixed both times by delaying turning on the sub by a few seconds after the radio came on. The timing is tricky, so talk to a QUALIFIED local installer who is familiar with your problem.....

I had this done last Friday after my '07 exhibited sluggishness and surges when cold, the A/C wouldn't immediately come on when temps are high, and it seemed like the MPG was off in my Message Center. When I got the car back I noticed an immediate improvement in both the sluggishness and surging...

Never really use the bins....one rear one has the usual bungees in it. After having a 3rd-party lightweight cover on my '02 I really didn't want the heavy factory tonneau on my '07, but every single Limited I was interested in already had it as an option. Now that I have it I love it for daily...

I can only speak for myself. I've owned an '85 325e (new to 120k miles), an '89 325i convertible (18k to 101k miles), a '94 850ci (6k to 12k miles), a '96 840ci (30k to 85k miles), and two '99 M3 convertibles (one new to 36k miles, the other 22k to 36k miles), and not one of them had...

If I get one, would I get more than the 10-12 mpg I get in mixed driving? :)

As someone who has never owned anything except trouble-free BMWs and Porsches, I agree....in theory. I bought a '98 Ranger in 2001 as a daily driver/beater, and never had much trouble with that truck. But I LOVED the Sport Trac concept when they came out. When the Ranger got totaled in '04, I...

Well, that is certainly one way to look at it, but not necessarily accurate. You can't place a true value on an extended warranty until your truck gets to 100k. If you would have spent $5,000 in repairs from mile 36,001 to 100k, that $1300 would not only be prorated over the years but would have...

TSB = Technical Service Bulletin. There is one that among other things fixes inaccurate MPG readings.....
