We are offering this very nice NO RESERVE! 1997 FORD EXPLORER XLT 4 DOOR with relatively LOW MILEAGE! This truck was driven less than 9K miles a year, enough to keep it working good, but not enough to wear it out. There is still a lot of life left in this baby, and it appears to have been well maintained and cared for. I have had a lot of these vehicles before but never one in as nice a shape as this one!

• Power windows
• Power door locks with keyless remote entry. I have 1 key and 1 remote transmitter
• Power mirrors
• Power driver and front passenger seats!
• Tilt wheel
• Cruise control with steering wheel controls
• Remote keyless entrypad on the door and unbelievably I have the code!
• AM-FM stereo with Cassette and 6 disc CD changer
• Factory fog lights
• Front and rear Heat and ICE COLD air conditioning
• Molded running boards
• Deep tinted glass
• Aftermarket rain guards
• Driver information center, sometimes it does not light up
• Rear window wiper/defogger
• Automatic headlights
• Automatic dimming mirror
• Rear cargo cover
• Bug shield
• Roof rack with crossbars
• Almost bulletproof 4.0 Litre 6 cylinder engine, in my opinion this is one of the best and most popular engines FMC has ever produced! This one starts right up and sounds great. There is none of those annoying check engine or other warning lights on!
• This truck goes down the road nice and straight, and the Control Trac Automatic 4 wheel drive operates perfectly in all modes!
• The 4 speed automatic transmission shifts nicely and smoothly.
• The Anti-lock equipped brakes stop this SUV quickly, safely and in a straight line!
• The black paint is clean and shiny and for a vehicle of this age and mileage is in remarkably good shape!
• The body is amazing in that usually Explorers of this vintage are all rusted out, but not this one, it has very little evidence of rust or dings and dents!
• The leather front seats do exhibit typical wear and tear, but a set of seat covers would fix that!
• The rest of the interior is actually in good and decent shape!
• The front tires appear to have around 55-60% of the tread left and the rear tires appear to have around 80-85% of the tread left.
• Very nice and clean Ford aluminum alloy wheels with all of the center caps!
• This truck even has a couple of months left on the NJ inspection sticker.
• Even at the age and mileage of this SUV it still has a Kelly Blue Book Suggested Retail Value of $4132.00!!

As we always try to do, we will be selling this vehicle for WAY, WAY below the KBB retail value!

Some of our vehicles may be for sale locally, and we reserve the right to end the auction early for any reason. Many of the vehicles are also driven, so they may have a few more miles than is listed or shown in the pictures, but not too many, certainly not enough to affect the value of the vehicles.

We have tried to be as honest and descriptive as possible but we are not perfect, we occasionally will make a mistake or miss something. Please remember you are buying a wholesale vehicle and paying a wholesale price, not retail, so keep that in mind when looking at this vehicle, it is not a NEW car. Please read our feedback. As you can see almost everyone has been satisfied. Please do not come here wanting to inspect the vehicle and then pay, we offer you the opportunity to inspect it first.

This is an AUCTION, once you win the bid you OWN it, and we expect to be paid FIRST!

We have had a rash of non-paying deadbeats who want to inspect the vehicle then want to renegotiate or renege on the deal, we do not renegotiate. we are sorry we have to be so harsh but this is starting to cost us a lot of money, so it's simple, if you do not want to pay, want to play games, or unsure if you really want the vehicle PLEASE REFRAIN FROM BIDDING!!

If you have any questions, please contact us, our number is 908-441-2162 and we will try to answer any questions you may have.

You have a week to inspect this vehicle and you are strongly encouraged to do so before you bid, if that is not possible there are services available that will do an independent inspection for a fee.

We will be selling this vehicle, mechanically and cosmetically "AS-IS"

Remember this is an auction, and the vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder.

If you win the bid, and are making plans to pick up your vehicle, please CALL us first!

I usually work by appointment, I do not keep regular hours at the lot and I would not want you to make the trip to pick your vehicle up, and me not be there to help you. I try to meet every one of my customers, and try to make it as convenient as possible, but if I cannot be there I will make every effort to have someone there that can help you, but you MUST call first for an appointment.

A non-refundable $500.00 deposit is required via PayPal as soon as you win the auction and absolutely within 24 Hours of the auction ending, unless other arrangements have been made. We only accept PayPal for the initial deposit, the balance due must be paid in CASH or by ELECTRONIC WIRE TRANSFER. Despite what anything else may say we do NOT accept cashiers' checks, money orders, or any other type of so called "Certified" funds. If you absolutely must pay by credit card there is a 5% inconvenience fee, and you need to talk to us prior to doing this. Contact us for information on this. If you do not contact us to make arrangements within 24 hours, we will sell it to the next bidder and issue an unpaid strike and negative feedback. The balance and pick up of the vehicle is due within 7 days of the auction ending, unless other arrangements have been made. Failure to pick the vehicle up within the allotted time will incur a storage fee of $25.00 per day or if you don't pick up the vehicle within the allotted time you will lose your deposit and we may or may not relist the vehicle. We do not get involved in shipping that is your responsibility. There is a $125.00 NON NEGOTIABLE documentation fee, and if you live in NJ we are required to collect the appropriate sales tax. If you have a driver's license and proof of insurance ON THE VEHICLE YOU ARE PURCHASING! We can even give you a temporary tag for $25.00 so you can drive it home. That's it, nothing hidden! We are a well-established, long time used car dealer and we pride ourselves on being as honest and straight forward as possible. GOOD LUCK!

A Non refundable deposit of $500.00 is required IMMEDIATELY after winning the auction via Paypal, and not to exceed 24 hours, the balance is payable in CASH only, if you are picking up the car in person. If you are shipping the car the only form of payment I accept is a bank wire transfer. If this is not possible and you must pay via Paypal you will have to pay a 5% inconvenience fee.

I do not accept bank/certified checks as final payment. I only accept cash in person when you pick the vehicle up. If you can not pick the vehicle up in person I will accept a bank wire transfer, payable before transport. If you must use PayPal for anything more than the $500 deposit there will be a 5% inconvenience fee.
