This Explorer XLT is probably one of the lowest mileage and nicest 2005 Explorer's in the country. It is in excellent condition. My Father-in-law bought this vehicle brand new and was always garage kept. I inherited the vehicle when he passed away and it was still kept in my In-Laws garage. I only used it to take my Mother-in-law somewhere. It MAY have been in the snow 4-5 times at the most. The 31,342 miles is documented. The third row seat was used twice in 8 years. It is being sold only because my Mother-in-law cannot get into the vehicle any more. We had to buy a lower vehicle in order for her to get into the passenger seat and that is the only reason for us selling this vehicle.
There is no rust anywhere. The interior is as clean as it was when he drove it from the dealer. No rips, tears, or repairs on the cloth seats. There are no mechanical issues that I am aware of. The vehicle was never smoked in; it still smells new.
The oil was changed every 4,000 miles and is Penna. inspected until July of this year.
There is a fair reserve on this vehicle and there is a buy-it-now option.
The vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction any time.
Even though this Explorer is in excellent condition, it is a used vehicle and there are no guarantees.
Buyer pays for the shipping, however I will meet the buyer at a reasonable distance from Hermitage Pa. with this vehicle.
If you need a low mileage vehicle that is almost brand new for a reasonable price, consider this vehicle. You will save $20,000.00 or more and and have a vehicle that will last for years.
Please bid only if you are interested in buying this vehicle
I will answer any questions you may have.

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
