This auction is for a fully loaded black, 2000 Ford Explorer XLT V-8 with a towing hitch, roof rack, hitch rack, and snow chains. The truck is in great condition for a 13 year old car. It was just professionally detailed and has always been adult driven, has never been smoked in, driven off-road, or otherwise thrashed, crashed, driven hard, or abused. It has been a trusted member of our family for 10 years and we have returned the favor by taking excellent care of the car. It's had 174,000 easy miles of running around a suburban town, with an occasional camping trip. We are selling because it's time to move on to something newer and we need a car with a third row seat. The car runs like a top and with the V-8 power, when you step on the gas you know it. This truck has a lot of guts and there's no doubt it can handle a towing load.We are the second owners and purchased the car in 2002 with 36,000 miles from a local car dealer in Westlake Village, California. We paid $19,000 and the original MSRP on the vehicle was approximately $25,000.
The car is serviced regularly and we have most of the maintenance records. The Michelin tires were purchased at Costco in 2007 and still have lots of tread left. It has a new starter, new bulbs in the instrument panel, new cruise control switches, new door lock remote control, and new door lock actuators, and new floormats. The air conditioning blows cold. In 2009 the transmission was overhauled and it runs perfectly. The oil was changed very recently at Jiffy Lube and it will be another several thousand miles before it is due for its next oil change, etc. When you drive the car away it will also have a full tank of gas. This car is turn-key and ready to roll.
As a bonus, the car was just registered and is not due again until May, 2014.
There is normal wear and tear in the interior including some fading of the dashboard and tears in the driver's leather seat. The leather on the steering wheel is warped and we have put a very nice steering wheel cover on it. The exterior has normal dings and scratches and two small dents. The most serious exterior flaw is fading/oxidized paint on the roof. The stereo with 5 CD changer works great but the digital display is burned out. This is a California car and there is no rust damage. There are no mechanical problems with the car that I am aware of. See photos for cosmetic issues.
Please note that the car is also being advertised locally, so this auction can be canceled at any time. And the car, of course, is being sold "as is."Thank you.Ford Explorer for Sale

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building
Wed, 31 Oct 2012After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
