1999 Ford Explorer XLS 4.0L V6 with 120k on the odometer.


Dependable vehicle, I've had 2 explorers in my lifetime.  Parts are also inexpensive because these vehicles were the most mass produced SUVs in the world, and still hold that record.  I've had 1 5.0 Explorer and 1 4.0 Explorer, the V8 5.0 gets about 12mpg, this gets 18, and on the highway at 65 will easily get you 20mpg.  The V6 is powerful enough for any situation, and saves your wallet.  This engine was designed well, and easy maintenance down the road for a tune-up or whatever it needs in another 100,000 miles.

Working 4x4
120k on odometer
Alloy Wheels
85% Tread left on tires (see in picture)
BRAND NEW Brake lines, all 4 brake lines replaced (A shop would charge you $700+)
BRAND NEW Brake pads
BRAND NEW Fuel lines, send and return line replaced (A shop would charge you $700+)
All fluids SERVICED.  Trans, Oil, Coolant.  Not even 20 miles on the fluids.
Runs COOL, NOT HOT!!
Interior isn't nasty with stains all over, average 14 year old interior
Exhaust NOT rusted out, in good working order
New spark plugs
Replaced Center Console Hinge that was broken from being leaned on, all ready to be leaned on for another 120,000+ miles!
Ice cold AC, HOT Heat
All power windows work
All locking mechanisms work
Cruise control works
Fog Lights work
All headlights/taillights work
Dash light works, interior lights work
Rear Windshield wiper works
Defrost works
No radio in the pictures, *BUT IT DOES COME WITH A RADIO* (The factory radio had buttons that were not functioning)
Roof Rack
I'm currently getting 18mpg
Strong Engine
Trans is the original, has not been replaced.  Standard 4R70W Transmission found in every ford/mercury/lincoln vehicle of the same era.
Power Steering Pump might need to be replaced, when you're reversing it is stiff, but when you're driving its perfectly normal and fine, very easy and cheap fix.  Not quite sure why it's doing this but at 120,000 miles it might be time to replace it. It's a $50 part.
Little bit of rust on the bottom of the doors same spot on both sides, rust on bumper
Wheel wells are rust free!
Few scratches and little dings on body, not much at all actually, pretty nice for a 14 year old vehicle
little tear in the seat, nothing major.  Again, pretty average for a 14 year old vehicle
No accidents!

Clean nice running vehicle with 4x4, title in hand.  Good first vehicle, winter vehicle, 2nd vehicle, boat puller, whatever the case may be this is the perfect vehicle for any situation.  The ONLY thing it MIGHT need is a $50 power steering pump, which doesn't affect ANY driveability. As I said it is normal when you drive, and stiff in reverse.  Power steering pumps are very easy to replace, you can do it on your own or it would only cost you 2 hours in labor at a shop.  Running well and ready to go.

**My reserve is set at a price that is reasonable with the labor that I put into the vehicle.  I redid all the brake lines, the fuel lines, and put new pads on all the brakes, new plugs, AND serviced all the fluid.  And fixed the center console that always breaks in these vehicles.  All of this would have cost you $1,800-2000+ if you went to a shop!! My reserve price is right around that area... a little lower :) She's all fixed up for a new owner. 

That's everything there is about the vehicle listed above, message me with questions!  I have my phone on me 24/7 and I'm always ready to respond!  Thanks for reading, happy bidding.

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.
