Raul Lushbaugh: I've been looking for a car. I've narrowed my options down to a Ford Taurus and a Chevy Cobalt. Which would you suggest I buy?
Foster Padgette: not that simple
Joni Ziak: Definitely the Cobalt. It gets better mileage, still has a good bit of room, and is much better looking. Plus, most important, it is a much more reliable car, just look at resale values and you will see that Chevys are almost always higher than Ford.
Rick Duchane: That means it's a buyers market right now. They're practically begging us to come in and take these gas guzzlers off their lots. I promise you, there are no salesmen bragging about how much gross profits they're holding now, LOL! If you're in the market for a new car, don't let them rip you off any more.
Edwina Fu: The whole reason why they are getting their car repoed is because they do not have money and you need money to pay the difference you are owe when you sell it back. And, to all the people ! that think dealers do not buy cars, YOUR WRONG.E.G.The car is now worth $20,000 to the dealer you owe $35,000 you do not have money for the $500 payment you sure do not have the $15,000 difference to pay the off....Show more
Vern Serratos: Chevy Cobalt is a much better rated car, praised for its refined nature and solid build quality. The old Ford Taurus was highly criticized for its weak powertrain, low feature level, and poor build quality... try searching Caranddriver.com and especially Edmunds.com to compare these two and even find other vehicles that would suit your needs.
Michel Mccaulley: Not even close to the same class (especially for a new one).If you had to pick one of these, take the Taurus. I would look at something else. Honda Civic, Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra.
Indira Wassell: Chances are that if you don't have the money to make the monthly payments, you won't have the money to pay back the difference.
Granv! ille Stray: I've been looking for a car. I've narrowed my opti! ons down to a Ford Taurus and a Chevy Cobalt. Which would you suggest I buy?
Blair Abdi: go with the cobalt. ford makes good trucks. they arent big car guys
Frances Macky: Why would the dealership want to buy the car back? Thier job is to sell them not buy them, particulary in the current financial climate. "Sell, sell, sell", not "Buy, buy, buy".
Clinton Migliori: yeah, it should be that simple, ..but its not.the dealers would end up losing money, and be overpopulated with a whole bunch of used cars, in who knows what conditions all, because people dont pay their loans, what needs to be done, is people need to know what they are signing BEFORE they sign, but over 80 percent of people do not know what they are signing when signing any loan. Did you know most loan documents, have several illegal statements through out the documents?? they do. And if more people knew about them, there'd be less repo's.good luckps look for a book out in the fall some time, p! rob late fall called THE UNIVERSAL DRAFT MANUAL...by M. Diamond.It'll show you how to get out of those situations, step by step....Show more
Kate Baune: Out of curiosity why'd you pick those cars? In new cars they are really in different vehicles class, one is a compact, one is a full-sized sedan (the Taurus is simply a re-badged Ford 500). Used cars it gets confusing since the Taurus was available in several different sizes.If fuel economy isn't your biggest priority, the Taurus will provide a smoother, more comfortable ride. I owned a Chevy Cavalier and I wouldn't touch a Cobalt with a 10 foot pole. Granted it's not the same vehicle, but similar enough.I would suggest that you consider Honda Civic and Mazda 3 as well (Ford owns 1/3 of Mazda, if it matters). Both of them get good gas mileage and would be better choices than the two you mentioned....Show more
Patrick Bitsui: It's not that easy, they have signed a contract to make the car payments. They are in br! each of contract by the time the car is repoed. Plus, as said above, de! alerships are in the business of selling cars, not buying them.
Tomeka Hameen: The car isn't repossesed by the dealership. It is repossesed by the bank that the person got the loan from. Used cars are not worth as much as new cars are - period. People have no idea if you have taken care of the car (changed the oil, etc.) and are less willing to take a chance on them (you have to offer them at a lower price to make it attractive to buyers). It would be illegal for a dealership to try to pass of a used car as new.If someone could "pay the difference", then they could make payments on the car, right? See "the difference" is pretty high considering how much the value of the car drops once you drive it off the lot.The bank doesn't want to reposses your car. They want their money back - they have no use for your car. They are just going to sell it, for whatever they can, to try to recoup whatever they can of their money....Show more
Dee Depung: very different c! ars in size and to ultimately it would boil down to wat do i use my car for... I use my car for comuting to and from work and dont really drive anyone in it... so i go with cobalt the taurus would be too big for my daily use so use that information to sway your decision to the car suited best for you
Bob Pucella: I would reconsider over those two. Think about it VW Rabbit, Mazda 3, Honda CivicIf you really want those two, I'll consider Cobalt, cuz Ford sucks at everything they make. While Chevy perfected the Art of Trucking Making, but their sedans are okay, too. Just keep up the normal maintence and the cobalt will provide you with many years of headache free service.
Edmund Rappley: If they were responsible enough to do that, they would be responsible enough to make payments.
Marty Tichnell: what recent price hikes, gas is back down near 2.20 a gallon here.guess ya havent noticed either that around this time of year gas prices are always higher.
K! arl Samiec: >> sell their car back to a dealership and pay the differen! ce? It is the "pay the difference" part that they don't have the money for.Yup, people buying stuff that they can't afford. The American dream.good luck......Show more
Georgina Natal: The deal is this . The dealership doesn't want the car they want the money.If you knew that it was going to be repossessed you could sell it to some one , but you would have to pay it off to get the title. Know if you had the money to pay it off it would not be up for repossession.
Raye Tredennick: Because their car is most likely worth less than what they owe on it. They owe money to a credit agency not the dealership.
Cassondra Vanholland: Somnetimes they are in denial. They think they'll find a way to pay.Sometimes they are upside down, the car is depreciating faster than they can pay for it.
Von Houskeeper: Along with what everyone else said, Cobalts are one of the top 10 most expensive cars to insure in the United States.
