My parents has a Five Hundread 2005, Close to $45,000 (limited edition)
We had as many discounts as we could get on it too, the car only has the 3.0L in the new ones you get the 3.5L (more money more fuel)
Great car excellent room and the same as the flex but it has a trunk instead of a hatch.
Only prob we had was the rear clalipers hung up all the time (about 4 times after having all rear brake parts replaced by ford) and we found out about the CVT tranny at 100K ( get rid of it.)
So its and great car but if it has the CVT trany in her then toss it back before 100K. Search it up something to do with a metal valve that needs to be replaced with a rubber valve, then after every 20K that rubber one needs to be replaced with another rubber one as well.
Smooth driving (can take a Caddy CTS no prob lol friends dad so pissed lol)
