New low water mark for the 2014 SS. This Audi dealer has one with 89k for $23.5k. No pictures yet.

Just started to read this thread:

I had a Vsport for 2 years, it's a great car, a really great car in fact. The way power was delivered gave the impression that it had much more power than it did, no lag, just giant amounts of torque even at low RPM. Very nimble and willing at all speeds and VERY comfortable as a daily. Car guys should appreciate the Vsport rather than give it as much grief as they do, but change is hard (turbo vs. na V8). As posted earlier in this thread, styling arguments on an SS forum are laughable, but I think both are good looking in different ways.

This guy went from Vsport to SS.

Just a random thought: The Taurus SHO is readily available used in the $15k range. Too bad this isn't really a performance car. I wish the SS depreciated like this.

So let me get this straight: SS is depreciating "like crazy" but the SHO is depreciating even faster? Well at least that makes sense from a desirability standpoint. On the other hand it is maybe more a supply vs demand thing where the SHO is available in even greater proportion than there are buyers. But I also don't see people actually buying the SHO as a performance vehicle whereas I do with the SS.

I actually don't think the SS's depreciation is "like crazy." For me, it's not crazy enough. The VSport is a little more in the "like crazy" category, but it started at a much bigger number.

I am sure that the SHO was produced in much larger numbers than the SS, although it's not really an enthusiast vehicle. I guess you could do worse shopping for a $15k AWD sedan in the used market.

Don't forget about the "Police Interceptor" which could be had in AWD and with the turbo. There are way more of them and they are worth slightly less.

Yeah that's a lot of car for $13k and it appears to be in good condition, too. With only 65k. Sigh.

Wait, is that even the ecoboost?

It isn't clear. I think that comes with AWD in the police car, but I could be wrong.

[kevm14]

It definitely does not, same as the Explorer. Ecoboost is optional.
