Just wanted to announce we bought a 2007 GS Sport V6 MTX with 15,600 miles after haggling with the dealership on price. It runs and rides like new and I couldn't be happier and the grey is starting to grow on me so all is good. I'll try to post a few pics if anyone is interested?

Sure, let's see. Happy that you finally joined the club, lol.

Thanks its been awhile but it was worth the wait. Glad to finally be part of the group instead of a bystander. Here's a few shots from the dealership, they aren't great.

Oooh, I'm jealous. Love the color! Dark Cherry Mica was my first choice but that car was already sold. I had to settle for Tungsten Gray - couldn't pass that deal up either.

Thanks I was really leaning towards a wagon as well but all the wagons in my area were autos but the hatch still works for my family.
Love your wagon and the tungsten looks great, my colour can't decide if it's violet or grey?

 

[trentofdestiny]

haha yours is violet with a touch of gray, mine is gray with a touch of violet :laugh:
I think I only ran across one wagon with a manual...I get one more gear with the auto though
Wagons were only made from 04-07, but there are still plenty of them out there. However, I went to Fort Wayne, IN for mine - about a 9 hour drive

True the paint is schitzophrenic(sp), can't decide what it is! You're a dedicated wagonholic, I'm just too busy (or lazy) to go to that length but I do love my manual.

Why thank you, I take that as a compliment :ninja:
Back when I was into the Ford Taurus, I had a 1996 wagon with SHO powertrain. Now THAT was fun.

 

[bellgrunt]

It was !
Nice I remember the old SHO it has alot of balls that must have been a fun ride and a sleeper too

 

[trentofdestiny]

Hehehehehe. I actually ran into the guy who ended up with it, at the Ford show in Carlisle.

 

[bellgrunt]

LOL he must have been hauling ALOT of parts for the show judging by the sag in the rearend, nice to see it's still running though!

 

[trentofdestiny]

Yeah he actually took out the passenger's front seat "to fit more in". I got rid of it when the trans started to go...that guy from MD sold it to this guy in Pittsburgh who fixed it.
