Only thing i can say is their truck are supposed good, but id still pass on them, lol! Anyways, i heard it on the radio about replacing the 500 with the Taurus, they didn't say anything about just the name. Just saying what i heard. It is just another half-baked marketing ploy imo to draw customers, but i think most experienced buyers know the game. Like i said b4 only ppl i know that have the Fords are Ford workers or ppl that are leasing, not buying. Why get rid of the Crown Vic?, then what will the older seniors buy, lol! I personally think the Mercury division should have kept the Mark or brought it back and then get rid of the Town car. Thoses were their sig lux cars. So what do they have now, the Zeyphr? Sorry Diva, but i don't think Mazda is a good choice for 5K. I think your best bet is to look in you local papers and at your local dealerships in their used cars. Id go to Honda, Toyota, Volvo. Something that is built well.. It is going to be hard finding a good car with lower miles for 5k, but sometimes if you look in your local paper there is someone that has to sell.
