I bought a 2004 Taurus LX with 18,000 miles from a dealership for $9,750. This was six months ago. I have to believe you can get a better deal. I love the car, btw.

First... dont go asking for personal recommendations without doing SOME homework, at least.
Go to Library.. check out CR review of the model... though I dont believe much THEY say, either.
What's the bluebook... how does it compare to those on the lots of reputable new car dealers in the area.?
Go to bank first, get 2 100 bills and fifty ones, front and back the franklins. Find the car stand by it... salesman comes, flash the wad and say "How much RIGHT NOW!?"
But, off-hand, that seems pretty high for a car off a rental lot.
Suggest you check out PUBLIC auction huses in your area that auction out of lease cars.
Private leased cars PROBABLY get better care and handling than Rentals.
How much can you get a brand new 05 for with the employee pricing? You could put the 1165 for a warranty toward a car with zero miles. If it's a matter of money and you can't afford the difference for a new model, I would offer them 9,000 for a the Taurus.
It's a used car buyers market right now, try to get a good buy.

Frankly, I've had it with new cars and all the problems that crop up and am retreating to my junker roots. More cost-effective in the long run for me.
I don't want a new car...I would prefer to spend less than $10,000 on this. So, like you and the other guy said, I'll make a lower offer if I want the car.
