I am the original and only owner of this 2001 Ford Explorer XLT with Leather Seats, Multi-CD changer in the middle console, non-smoker, never been in a wreck, and low miles...80,293 at the time of this listing. If you were looking around for an affordable four wheel drive vehicle and wanted to save money with a vehicle that had a couple issues to disclose, this is one that will be sold on auction with no reserve so thanks for bidding and good luck. This is a fairly good running and overall nice looking Explorer for its age with four wheel drive that just needs a little mechanical attention.
Mechanically, the 4.0L six cylinder runs very well with lots of power and no apparent smoke or leaks. This is listed in poor condition since the automatic transmission has a slight hesitation between 1st and 2nd gear but otherwise drives well and it has served our family very well. This could likely be the most expensive repair so please bid accordingly. The brakes are strong, and no warning lights are illuminated on the dash. The ball joints and rear struts may need to be inspected and replaced. There is decent amount of tread on all tires, there is cracking on all tires from sitting in the hot Texas sun.
The interior of the car is fairly healthy with no major rips or tears in the leather seats, the front driver seat is more worn as shown in picture from normal use and there are black marks on the back of the seats. Clean cargo area and clean and odor-free carpets. The headliner is in tact and tight and the dash is perfect with all the power options and 4WD functioning as they should. There is a crack on the drive side door speaker cover, but speaker still works fine and the cargo area side panels are scuffed up that is hard to tell from pic. Maintenance done over the past couple years includes: Radiator and Transmission Flushes, Oil Changes, replaced the center console arm rest due to wear, replaced Front Hood Latch, replaced battery, AC was serviced and works great, state inspection is current. No signs of pets and no smell of tobacco so overall it has been pretty well taken care of.
The body of the car is listed in poor condition due to slight fading above rear driver side door, trim on top has been painted black to fix fading issue, but done by professional, all other black trim shows fading, including bumpers and side trim. There are 3 very small door dings and about 5 small dings from hail, most you have to look at angle to even see them. There is overspray over the majority of the car from being too close to fence when being stained and have heard it can be cleaned using Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit. Front Wipers work good, rear wiper needs new wiper blade and cigarette lighter is missing. There is a very small crack in the bottom part of the front windshield smaller than a dime and doesn't obstruct view. No major dents aside from typical nicks and scratches and no rust as this has been in North Texas since we bought it new. We would keep this car, but needed to get bigger car for our family.
I did the best I could to list all known issues, but the car is over 10 years old and may have other defects that aren't known to me, so I encourage you to inspect the car prior to bidding and is being sold AS-IS. Will be happy to answer any questions or schedule a test drive with proof of insurance and valid drivers license.
Winning bidder to make transportation arrangements. Will work with shipping company of your choice to help transaction go smooth. I have clear title and will be transferred to wining bidder within 48 hours of confirmed payment.

Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
249 reasons you want to go to Goodwood Revival
Sat, Sep 16 2023At its most basic, Goodwood Revival is a long weekend worth of car races featuring cars made before 1970. There are lots of those, though, including some pretty great ones all over the world. But nothing is like Goodwood Revival because it's so much more than "just" vintage car racing. First, you have to look the part. Attendees are strongly encouraged to dress in period clothing from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, with a strict dress code enforced should you want to enter the paddock. The goal is to create a more authentic atmosphere to match the cars and the meticulously restored and recreated paddocks, grandstands and other facilities of the reborn Goodwood circuit. Now, the dress code was relaxed this year since the Saturday was literally the hottest Sept. 9 on record in that part of England, and the organizers didn't want people dropping dead because they needed to wear an ascot. Some people definitely took the "relaxed" bit too far, but there was still plenty of atmosphere maintained. It really does make a big difference, as those "relaxed" individuals were often akin to seeing a Starbucks cup in a scene from "Game of Thrones." You can see what I came up with below along with former Autoblog editor Reese Counts and various other Goodwood attendees. Second, there's the parking lot. But I'll let this entire separate post detail that. Third, there's the enormous carnival-like area featuring vintage-looking rides and various boutiques. Both of those are on the outside portion of the track, and honestly, you could easily just spend your entire day in the parking lot and carnival/shopping area without even crossing over into the circuit area. There you'll find more shops, food and drink opportunities, plus obviously, race car paddocks and the track itself. Fourth, there are airplanes! I heard there are fewer than in the past, but they're there and they're cool. The Goodwood circuit started out life as the perimeter road around the World War II airfield RAF Westhampnett. Fifth, with all of the above, Goodwood Revival really is fun for the whole family. It isn't just a bunch of old guys sitting around in lawn chairs. There are plenty of women and adorably dressed children, including babies in vintage prams. It's also not an event that's exclusively for the uber rich, even if they are certainly in full force given who has the sort of money needed to go vintage racing.
