A: You asked at just the right time, because I live in Northwest Houston right down the road from Joe Myers Ford. They’re always advertising about their specials and I drive past them everyday. My brother in law bought his Houston Ford truck from them two years ago (it was a pre owned F-150, and in great condition with an excellent warranty, too–I got to drive it recently and I’m a little jealous).

There are a lot of specials right now for someone who wants to buy a pre owned Houston Ford truck. Let me get my piece of paper, because I wrote them down for a friend who is looking for a car.

• 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.

The MSRP on this one was $25,495, and now it’s just five dollars under twenty thousand. So that’s, what? $5,500 in savings? It’s practically brand new, too, and, as Joe Myers Houston Ford truck dealer says, ‘quality checked’.

• 2003 Ford F-150.

This one if very cheap. It was originally $14,595, and now it’s going for $12,995. That isn’t a huge savings, but it’s still a pretty low price for a car that’s relatively new. Like I said about my brother’s car, the F-150 Houston Ford truck is excellent.

• 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty.

This one has hardly any difference in price. Before the price cut, it came in at $33,995, and now it’s just a mere thousand dollars less. You could do better, especially considering that this is more expensive than a brand new car. I like the design, though, and it’s more for someone who is into the whole beast machine Houston Ford truck.

• 2001 Ford F-150.

This was going for $24,995, and now it’s six thousand less than that. That’s a pretty good cut in price, but I wonder if that’s right for the depreciated value? It’s probably because it’s in great condition or has a warranty.
