I'm going to assume he meant 3.0.

I found it at a local dealer. They wanted 26k for it. I did run a carfax before I purchased it though.

Seriously, I almost bought an '07 Tungsten Coupe but I got too good of a deal on the '06 to pass it up. There is no way I could do any better than an '06 with all the addons this has, only 14,771 miles for $23.5K.

Well, I bought an '06 Mustang GT Premium today. It had 14,771 miles and I paid $23,500 for it. It has a lot of extras that were dealer installed for the original purchaser. I'm totally geeked. Oddly, it seems to be getting better mileage than my Zephyr does.

Life is all about give and take. I give and everyone else just takes! LOL

Well, I lived in Gainesville GA from 83-88. I was 15 when we moved there. N FL isn't any better than S GA if that's any constellation. I couldn't live in either place. How do you like living in Atlanta? The traffic there is horrible.

Just say that after driving MI to SW FL. Ohio is probably the most dismal place there is to drive through. There's hours of scenic cornfield views. LOL I lived in GA for 5 years but I've never driven through that section. I do think that S GA is quite unexciting.

Amen, I-75 is about as boring as it gets.

I understand what you mean. But, it was places like Jiffy Lube, Sears, etc... that really took advantage of people and their perceptions.

Those practices of generating revenue are exactly what prompted the previously mentioned studies. I give Ford credit for owning up to the real truth and changing their maintenance schedules accordingly.

It has something to do with the little black plastic thing in the drivers floorboard. I believe it was job 2 that added these.

The test ratings are not always in line with real world results. I remember reading an article somewhere that showed the Fusion has much better results in the real world. Also, the Fusion gets high marks in accident avoidance.

The '06 Fusion/Milan/Zephyr launch has been one of the best launches in the history of Ford. The level of quality is outstanding and especially so for a first year model. The usual "don't buy the first year" karma doesn't apply here. If you can get a good deal there is no reason to shy away from an '06.

This is the last time I plan to comment on anything submitted by Meelaan. The fact is that the first sentence of my first response in this thread was to the original poster. So try to be a little more factual in your responses. Second of all, this is a discussion forum. As such, you can reply to the original post and ALL posts after that. The only real problem with all of our latest responses in this thread is that they are veering off topic. If you only came here to find out about your oil filter then stop putting down every thread about modifications. Why don't you try being quiet for a while and watch how posts start getting more replies. I think you'll be amazed. And finally, for the record, 17s cannot POSSIBLY be gangsta so get a clue before you make such ridiculous comparisons. To the OP, I think you are off to a good start. Please don't be afraid to post about future mods you are considering or have already done. That is why most of us are here.

Your attempts at insults are juvenile at best. You obviously can't deal with the reality that this website exists for the Fusion enthusiast. This includes people who want to make changes to there Fusion for both performance and appearance. Again, expressing a real and valid opinion does not require the condescending nature of your posts. I am and have been a moderator on several different forums. I know the difference between someone who is trying to help and someone who only seeks to make himself feel better at the expense of others. There is nothing helpful in 90% of your posts.
