Traded the Sport Trac in and got a Fusion.

Karma is beating me to death for some reason in 2009 and early 2010, so my life sucks, had to do something to make the bills go easier. So I traded my 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac in this past Wednesday on an 07 Ford Fusion. Hated to do it, but was behind on the payments 3 months, and it needed tires at $700. I got a new job earlier this month finally but I make about half what I used to make at the Ford dealer. I hate the pay and work at the lube place, I was a REAL technician... But I guess in this economy you take what you can get! So the $400 payment was almost impossible with all my other bills. Got $16,000 for my truck with all the mods, it was worth $14,000, I owed $15,000. Got the Fusion for $11,000. So roughly it will save me over $100 in payment plus about $75 per month on gas.

Hey- Economy is tough right now. The Fusion is a nice car. I'm sure the ST will be back in some form at some point! Not a bad deal...

No, got the tires from the Ford dealer I worked at. Two were new takeoffs, two were used tires from the scrap heap that had 6/32 left (June, 09)

Joe, it's good that the car trading worked out for you. You shouldn't beat yourself up over the trade. I understand the feeling of losing the ST but then again....I put a lot of time and $$$ into college and a "big boy job" and you're still driving a better car than me. Much better, I assure you. I've been wanting to add a Fusion to the lineup for quite some time. They're really nice cars. Congratulations.

Sorry to hear it, during the 'gas boom' I traded in my 05 super crew F150 5.4L for a 08MKZ.. I just took a bath on the MKZ to get a used 07 sport trac.. I couldn't take a car any longer, even something as nice as the Lincoln I had... Good Luck man!
