Pay off car or trade in? Ford Fusion to Flex.

My wife and I are going to purchase a new Ford Flex SE and I am really stuck on what to do with our 2006 Ford Fusion SE with 30k miles.

I have $10k saved up and still owe about $10k on the fusion.

Should I pay off the fusion and use it as a trade in on the new car?

Or Trade in the Fusion with a $4k trade in rebate and use the $10k as a down payment on the new Flex.

Or am I thinking all wrong? If anyone out there can give me any advice at all I would so greatly appreciate it!

thank you!!!

Can the Ford Flex fit 2 kids in the second row (a booster seat and a toddler seat) and 2 infant seats in the 3rd row?

I'm looking for an SUV or crossover that has a 60/40 split in the second row that can fit 2 kids (a booster seat and a toddler seat) leaving space on the side for me to enter the 3rd row where 2 infants would ride. Can the ford flex accommodate this arrangement? If not, any suggestions on an SUV or crossover that can would be great!

Have you heard any rumors about whether Ford will extend employee pricing past 1/31/09 on the Flex?

xdgelbertx — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:29:52 GMT

have 2 months left on existing lease and don't have to buy/lease yet. I don't want to be pressured into employee pricing if it will be extended another month or two.

Can you equip a Ford Flex with the Vista roof option and roof rack?

big_guy — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:19:59 GMT

I have read conflicting information about this. I know you can not equip the car with the Vista roof and the roof rack using the online build tools, and I have read that dealers won't put them on a vehicle with the Vista roof but I am not sure why. Is the structure of the roof diminished so much by the Vista roof that a roof rack is not safe? or is there another reason?

4 cylinder verses 6 cylinder on a Toyota Highlander 2010?

We are considering a Highlander 2010, Honda Pilot, or Ford Flex. What about putting car seats on 3rd row, and best gas mileage on the 3? Also can the 4 cylinder perform well on the Highlander?
