I will be a lot more honest about this vehicle then the previous seller was with me. I purchased this vehicle with the intention of fixing and using for regular towing, but vehicle needs more work/investment then I am willing to put into it. I do have clear title in hand.
The vehicle does run and can be driven for short distance, but I suggest towing or trailering it to your location if you are going to take it out of town. I have only owned for a short period of time, but will share what I know and what I was told by previous owner. Vehicle appears to have a strong running engine and transmission shifts fine. All power options work (did not test heated mirrors but was told they do) and I have tested them all, including the self leveling air suspension and cd changer. Vehicle has 4WD, AWD, and 2WD options and was told all worked, but honestly have only driven it in 2WD mode. I see no reason why they would not work. As a result this vehicle would make an excellent parts vehicle if you need to replace or repair something on current Expedition. There is a tear in the side of the driver's seat in the leather (see pics), but besides that the interior leather is in great shape. Has a K & N style filter and chrome air intake (see pics).
The hood is delaminating (see pics) and there are various nicks, scratches, etc. on paint.
If you want to restore this to a running vehicle for use then please see what is wrong with vehicle below. I have listed everything and noted what can be bypassed and still drive the vehicle.
The BAD:
Original listing had wheel wobble when driven - needs front idler arm and ball joints and an alignment to correct completely.
Grinding noise when driving - front calipers were replaced recently by previous owner but done incorrectly so they need to be removed and reinstalled or possibly replaced.
Master cylinder was replaced by previous owner, but is bad and needs to be swapped out again. As a result it can cause brake pressure when brakes are not depressed, so if driving and it engages it will feel like it is dragging and can smell brake burning, so this is why I do not suggest driving more than short distance. This and the calipers being on incorrectly could continue to cause more damage if continually driven.
I have estimates from local shop for all of the above repairs if interested - please contact me.
I was told shifter arrow did not line up, but in reality the column shifter also has to be played with to shift from gear to gear and is hard to get into park. That combined with the arrow not lining up makes you have to feel what position you are in when you shift. Vehicle can be driven with this unrepaired and not sure how much it will cost to repair. I was able to figure it out with no issues after driving only a couple of times, but it is going to be annoying if you plan to drive it regularly.
Was told it had exhaust leak by previous owner and found that one of the bolts attaching the exhaust to the manifold broke off and was clamped back to together. This would involve redrilling or replacing manifold to correct completely. Also exhaust hangers appear to be missing and is held by wire (see pics). I did not inspect exhaust further than that.
Vehicle has been done South, but according to car history it spent time in New York. As a result, the rear undercarriage is severely rusted and the rear trailing arms need to be replaced if planning on driving the vehicle. One actually has rusted part way through (see pic). I don't suggest driving vehicle for more than short time before repairing if not parting it out.
If you have any other questions about vehicle that I have not addressed in listing or pictures, please contact me.
Payment of $500 deposit through Paypal required within 48 hours of listing end. Remaining payment within 7 days in full unless other arrangements are made with me prior.
If you wish to pay entire amount through Paypal/Bill Me Later, please contact me before making offer or clicking Buy It Now.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Uber releases fleet of self-driving vehicles to select few in Pittsburgh
Wed, Sep 14 2016Starting today, a select group of Uber users in Pittsburgh, PA will have the ability to request a self-driving vehicle. If a self-driving vehicle is in the area, Uber will send it, as well as a safety driver, to drive loyal customers to their destination. The announcement to give customers the opportunity to get a ride in one of Uber's self-driving vehicles comes roughly a year and a half after the company set up its Advanced Technologies Center in the city. On Tuesday, the company offered a few members of the press the opportunity to ride in one of the company's self-driving cars. The fleet, despite Uber's collaboration with Volvo, was comprised of 14 Ford Fusions equipped with a host of self-driving technology, reports TechCrunch. Uber is giving away free rides as a way to obtain real-world testing, which is crucial for self-driving technology. Recently, nuTonomoy beat Uber to the punch by launching the world's first autonomous taxis in Singapore. While the choice to release its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh mainly comes down to the fact that its ATC is located there, the city faces four seasons and its difficult streets that are comprised of bridges, railroad lines, and an irregular grid layout will prove to be a challenge for the autonomous cars. Since the self-driving vehicles are still being tested, the cars will come with two full-time Uber employees. One employee will loosely grasp the car's steering wheel, ready to take over if something goes awry, while the other will monitor the computer's software. As TechCrunch points out, Uber's autonomous vehicles drove in a similar manner to a regular driver. It obeyed traffic laws, mimicked a driver by coming to stops gently and at other times abruptly, as well as driving slightly into another lane to dodge a poorly-parked vehicle, reports TechCrunch. There's no word on whether regular Uber customers will get a ride in one of the company's Fusions or one of the Volvo's that its working on. Automakers and companies alike have been in a race to put autonomous vehicles on the road. Tesla recently updated its Autopilot system, Apple laid off dozens of employees to reboot its self-driving car project, and Google is working giving its autonomous vehicle the ability to detect emergency vehicles. While this is a large step for Uber, vehicles with autonomous capabilities still have a long way to go.
Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.
