Greetings.

Former owner of a 2020 Charger Scat Pack. After some folks in South Dallas decided they deserved my car more than me, I decided my next vehicle would be an SUV. I'd liked the '20-'24 Explorer styling for a while now, I'd decided I was going to "grow up" and get a regular vehicle. But, as I looked at my options, the amount of $ I was willing to spend and the amount of HP I thought I needed kept increasing.

I found this nearly new '23 ST with less than 5,000 miles on it and brought it home yesterday.







This is the original window sticker. I paid nowhere near that MSRP. I feel like I got a deal. According to CarFax, it was manufactured in 1/23, bought in 3/23 in New Mexico, driven up to Colorado and serviced once. It was then driven down to Dallas and traded in for an Audi (at least that's my assumption, I bought it from an Audi dealer).

Looks like you also got some aftermarket goodies like the ST Experience emblems and custom Ford emblems. Congrats and welcome!

What did you end up paying? I’m going tomorrow to a ford dealership and I need some negotiating power. I’d like to get them down to 50k.

Rich Ford in Albuquerque
Hey know them. Used to live there. Rich Ford usually cuts some pretty good deals, I think the deal that you would get for A-Plan would be worth it.

They were nice. I just keep seeing people paying closer to 50k for the 2023 lately and I’d like to get around that. Doesn’t seem like they are budging though.
