Retro styling meets modern technology and powerful engine options with the distinct 2012 Ford Flex wagon-esque crossover.

Ford keeps the Flex simple in 2012 by adding only minor changes like roof rack side rails on the moonroof and a center armrest with two cupholders in the second row bench on Limited and Titanium trims.

The 2012 Ford Flex is available in four trim levels: SE, SEL, Limited and Titanium. Equip your model of choice with one of two engines: a 262-horsepower, 3.5-liter Duratec V-6 or a 355-horsepower, 3.5-liter EcoBoost (read: turbocharged) V-6. Both are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, while the EcoBoost engine gains auto-manual capability via paddle shifters. The EcoBoost engine also features active all-wheel drive as standard equipment, which is optional on the front-wheel-drive Duratec engine. If you’re looking to get the best fuel efficiency/horsepower bang for your buck, then the EcoBoost and its 16-mpg in the city and 23 mpg in the city is on par with the 16-17/23-24 mpg city/highway for the Duratec engine. Not bad considering that the EcoBoost engine outputs 73-more horsepower and 102-more pounds-feet of torque than the Duratec.

Although the 2012 Ford Flex competes with the Chevrolet Traverse and Mazda CX-9, it is unlike any other crossover on the market. Choose between 17-, 18-, 19- or 20-inch wheels and optional LED taillamps, xenon high-intensity-discharge headlamps, a power liftgate and the aforementioned multi-panel Vista Roof panoramic moonroof. The Titanium trim rests on 20-inchers and features a unique black chrome finish grille, black fog lamp bezels and many other premium appointments.

The seven-seat Ford Flex is definitely flexible when it comes to interior volume. The second row can be enjoyed as a bench or as captain’s chairs, while the two-seat third row is raised giving occupants a theater-style view of what’s in front of them. All seats can be stowed creating 83.2 cubic feet of total cargo volume. Leather seating, simulated wood or metallic trim, refrigerator, a 12-speaker Sony stereo, 10 GB navigation system with SiriusXM Traffic, and Ford’s voice-activated Sync multimedia system that connects to your Bluetooth, MP3 player or USB drive to the Flex are optional.

If your kids are going to be driving your Flex you can limit the top speed and stereo volume with the MyKey feature. A suite of airbags, antilock brakes, traction control, an electronic stability system with Roll Stability Control, rear parking sensors and an optional backup camera are just some of the other safety features on the 2012 Ford Flex.

Enjoy unique styling, power, and utility with the 2012 Ford Flex crossover.

Some manufacturers also provide first-time buyer, military, and other programs to target specific customer segments.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
