jcartwright99 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 I'd love to see pictures of the new ride! The black 2016 is the one I almost bought. Here are two of the one I did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcartwright99 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Looks great! Thanks! I need to do some clean up and detailing work and then take some new pics. All in all, the dealer was kinda of a joke. They just happened to have the car I was looking for at a fair price. Since it was out of town, I knew I wouldn't be going there ever again. They did a poor job of cleaning the interior. Oh well, I got a good deal so i can't complain too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Sounds like you got a good deal and a nicer ride. The MKZs are sharp. I'm not surprised about the detailing. I have yet to find a dealer that does a stellar job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 And the plot thickens. Not to keep tooting my horn about this car but now I am almost certain I got a Ford fleet/lease car. Not sure what that means but I had the spare key fob and I saw it had something taped to it. I just assumed it was the dealer tag but not anymore. See the attached pics. Anyone have any thoughts what type of Ford car I got. Management Lease Pool? Tester? Engineering example? The Carfax said it was a lease/fleet car. The dealer said they bought it at auction near Detroit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer said they bought it at auction near Detroit. Most likely, it was a lease return. I don't know if it's still true, but the "program" cars (driven by execs, Ford fleet cars, etc) used to be turned out for sale at a much lower mileage, usually well under 10K miles (my '95 SHO, f'rinstance, was a program car, and had about 5,000 miles on the clock when I bought it).

chromehorn Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Congrats on the Z, looks very nice! Is it blue? I still haven't quite warmed up to the new schnoz but I suppose I'm in the minority. My 2013 3.7 was a CPO too. Had 27k on the clock when i got it in 2015. Sticker was $44k, bought it for $30k. That's some pretty steep depreciation, but it worked in my favor. It's got 72k miles on it now and has been a great car so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got 72k miles on it now and has been a great car so far. If sticker was $44K that means it sold new for $40K, so $30K is only 25% depreciation which is pretty good for a 2 yr old car.
