 Bought this car in 9/05 with 35K on it for $9,100.  Has everything you need really. V6, auto, electric, cruise, CD, ABS.  Ride great, power good enough, smooth shifting, not bad looking.  I've put 30k miles on it in a little over a year and had NO problems other than turning the rotors, which need to be done again.  I drive a lot of highway miles and get slightly over 25MPG. Following Ford's manual you need 5/20 Synthetic oil which is a little costly.  I love this car.  Nothing fancy but a nice ride and decent gas mileage for a V6 and reliable so far (I did buy an extended warranty just in case). Would definitely buy a USED one again. There are so many of them on the street they are a great buy used.
