I assume you are out of the warranty period. My suggestion is to check 
Ebay. You see used Ford CD Players for sale there all the time and 
they are often very inexpensive (see http://tinyurl.com/ypr6jl
). Next 
best place is to check Radios and More http://www.radiosandmore.com/.

They will likely sell you an OEM replacement for less than $450. Or 
you could have the unit repaired http://www.carradio.com/.
