2011 Mercury Milan Premier I4. Slim 2010/2011 pickings from Ford that weren't outrageously expensive (like most new models due to all the fancy tech).
Tried hard to get a good price on a decently outfitted Taurus but the lease/purchase per month prices were just stupid high for what they gave ya. Same with the new Edge and Explorer. Treated almost everything in the inventory like most dealers treat 5th gens, almost like everything including the blue oval itself was a golden calf. Only what Mercs they had left on fire sale cut the mustard.
For now it's something to hold her over (it's really not much to speak of either for a supposed 'luxury' car) until something better comes along and the market/our budget see eye to eye once again.
I can see why Ford is killing Merc.
