I would like opinions please.
Although we like our Focus, we would like to have something more quiet and with a softer ride for long drives. The Wife and I are looking at trading in our 2007 Focus SES/ZX5 with 45K on it for this 2006 Lincoln Zephyr with 35K on it. It is fully loaded, heated/cooled leather 10 way power seats (Driver & Passinger), Moonrooof, THX 6 disc sound system, Nav. system, dual climate control, HID headlamps, steering wheel climate and audio controls, wood trim dash and wheel... Etc...
Edmunds owner reviews gives it an overall 9.5 out of 10, and looking at the few bad reviews out of the 170+ that were there seem to be due to personal preference, and not due to problems with the car.
IF I can get what I want out of the Focus, and get the right financing, (I have very good credit) my payments would only go up by about $115 a month. (We JUST put new tires on the Focus less than 4 months ago, so I would ask them to put new ones on the Lincoln as part of the deal) The wife really likes this car, but she is a realist and we CAN walk away from the dealership if we need to. (I have purchased 4 cars from them over the years, and they know I will walk if I dont agree)
My thought is that 4 years from now, the Lincoln will hold its value better and be worth more (% wise) than the Focus. The link to the car is below. Original window sticker price was north of $35K. What are your thoughts, pro or con... THANKS. Dave
