First the bad. The Lincoln is gone! On Tuesday it will at a dealership in Hamilton awaitng a new owner.
Now the good. I have purchased a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin. 4X2, 4L. V6, auto., air, pw, pdl, leather, p/moonroof, sidesteps, adrenaline edition, ABS, CD 6 in dash & cass., hard tonneau cover & more. It is fully loaded with premium sound - Pioneer with a sub woofer. Black exterior with tan interior. Now I have the colour I wanted for the Mark.
I wasn't really looking for a new vehicle but the Mark had been a great car for almost 3 years and it was time to move on. I needed something that had leg room for four adults as my daughters are 11 and 13 and the Mark just did not have enough room for them. We had been using my wife's Escape as a family car and it is a great vehicle but just not comfortable enough after riding around in a Lincoln. I also need more trunk space to cart hockey equipment around, both my daughters and mine. It was becoming a pain to load and unload the trunk in the winter with sand bags taking up alot of space.
My wife and I just went to "look" at the Explorer today. It rode better than we expected and the Sales Manager was using it as a demo so he was very helpful. Ford was offering a $5000.00 rebate on it and they gave me a decent trade. The owner of dealership took the Mark out and complimented me on it's condition. The Sales Manager originally gave me a low trade in as he figured it would just be wholesaled. The owner was willing to bump the trade in and put it on the lot!
The kicker is that we bounght a 2004 Four Winns Horizon 170 last night. It is going to have black accent with biege interior. The boat and Explorer are going to look killer together!
I will still hang aroung this place as I have made many friends it has been an invaluable source of information and savings for me.
Please wish me luck as I loved the Mark but had to move on.
