~ IM BACK, well sorta

[D Potts]

Hello again everyone....some of you may remember me from years past (used to own a Blue 2004 and also a Black 2008 STA)



Well as much as I wodul like ot say I got myself into a 2010 AWD V8 STA....that just is not the case sadly!

However my mom is looking at a BEAUTIFUL 2009 Silver V8 4x4 Limited and I have a few questions.



I have been outta the Sport-Trac game for a bit but:

1. Is this a good deal $28k for a '09 loaded w/sunroof Limited 4x4, heated seats & 15,000 mi?

2. What are the best starter mods these days (used to be SCT tuner and TB) I got the intake covered :grin:

3. Have there been any recent service issues starting to pop up with the Tracs? (other than the trans thump)



Thanks in advance...

KBB search shows approx $32K retail. Like the color! As the Trac is out of production they're going to be harder to find, especially low-mileage cars in good shape. If I were in the market I'd tell the dealer "I have $26K to spend on this truck," and then shut up. If dealer balks, I'd make out a check to the dealer for $26K, tear it in half, write Name, Cell xxx-xxx-xxxx on the right half, hand it to the dealer and walk. They will call back - and when they do, $26K is the rolled-up price, not that plus tax, fees, etc. Good luck.

Sure you wont kick yourself for not looking at another STA -



Updates - Brenspeed now has a Roush style TVS blower that plops out less HP than the Saleen version -

Another Question?

This Sport -Trac has reverse sensing system installed...was that a factory option!?

Just found out too that this trac is a "Certified Used Ford Vehicle" so it has the 7yr 100k mi warranty.

I have a silver '10 Limited 4x4 V-8. Mine has the reverse sensors- they look like these. In fact these picslooks exactly like my trac- including the Class III/IV hitch, backup sensors, tonnue cover, etc.



I only have 18k on mine. Runs great- it's a much better truck than my '03 Adrenline was. Handles better, tons of power, nice V-8 sound, transmission seems robust- no troubles. All in all, I cannot complain one bit. i just love the black interior-- it is so rich looking and sporty. I don't know what to tell you to look at-- I have not had any trouble areas with my trac at all.



I have been toying with the idea of selling my 'trac lately. Don't really want to, but since i ride my motorcycle to work most of the time, I am not using my 'trac much these days. it would be nice to get rid of the monthly payment, especially since my wife's job ended last month. I didn't realize it was holding its value so well. KBB says a private sale should go for $32,863 for mine.

Gavin, my brother-in-law has been looking for a nice low mileage Trac. Let me know if you decide to sell yours.

Welcome back Mr. Potts.

Dubbing around yesterday, on allofcraigs.com type in sport trac adrenalin, there was a blue 2009 i think for 32k. Claimed it had a new engine installed 200 miles ago by a ford dealership. I inquired why and asked some questions through email but have yet to get a response. Still curious on why the new motor!! Flood damage?ect??? Its a 2010, just looked it up again. There is a sweet red one which is a v8 with some pretty cool interior too.

Will do. I sure would miss it, but if my wife doesn't find a job in a few months I may be very interested. :cry: By then, it will be warmer and I'll be riding my bike again, so it might not be as painful, though.
