2002 Ford Explorer XLS
IT RUNS, BUT NEEDS WORK

THIS AUCTION IS NO RESERVE!

You already know that the Ford Explorer is a cool SUV. It's comfortable, has good features and good power. This one has never been wrecked. The interior is still pretty good. All the power accessories work, cold A/C, heater's good, etc....

I'm just going to list out the good and bad...

THE GOOD:

It Runs!
New Inspection
Clear and clean title
XLS Trim
Tow package with hitch ball
Cold A/C
Heater is good
Cruise Control
AM/FM/CD
Tires and wheels are ok
Upholstery is ok
Power windows all work
Back seat air vents and power
Fold-down seats
4.0 SOHC engine
No coolant or major oil leaks
Brakes work fine
Luggage rack

THE BAD:

Engine runs a bit rough
You can start and drive the SUV when the engine is cold, but if you run it a while and shut the engine off, it will not start back up right away. Instead you have to let the engine completely cool down. And then it will start again. I know it's weird. There are several opinions on as to what this issue is. The most popular seems to be that it's the fuel pump or fuel filter. I don't know. And, I don't feel like messing with it.
The engine makes a rattling sound. My mechanic tells me it is being caused by worn timing chain guides. I don't think it really affects the way the engine runs, but it does make some noise. Not horrible though. It may be why the engines runs rough though.
Valve covers need gaskets replaced. There is some oil leaking onto the manifold, so sometimes you can smell it. It's not a huge leak though.
I had the transmission refurbished about 5 years ago or so. When the weather is cold outside, and you put the vehicle in reverse, sometimes it will not go right away. You can either shift into drive for a second, or just let the vehicle warm up for a minute or so, and then everything usually works fine.

Other issues-

The air for the AC and heater only blows straight out the main vents. This is due to a small plastic mechanism that is controlled by a switch beneath the dash by the glove compartment. I don't think this would be a difficult fix, but I didn't want to mess with it. So, I had my mechanic set it so that I could have good cold air out the vents for the summer. For the winter, I just point the main vents downword.
Some of the carpet in the rear, behind the backseat is damaged due to a car battery that we were returning leaking on the way to the store.

So, like with all of my auctions, I'm being as up front about everything as I can. If you are a mechanic, you could probably spend a few hours and maybe a couple hundred dollars and have a great vehicle with this Explorer. If you're not a mechanic, there is going to be some costs involved in making this vehicle run great again.

This would be a great fixer-upper, or a great parts vehicle. At minimum, to drive it regularly, you would have to get the "not starting reliably" issue resolved.

This auction is for LOCAL PICKUP ONLY.

THERE IS NO WARRANTY. THERE ARE NO RETURNS.

Good Luck, and contact me with any questions prior to bidding.

Payment is due within 3 days of auction end.

Pick up of the vehicle is required within a week.

Thanks so much.

Cadillac Escalade gets $5,000 discount to ward off Lincoln Navigator

Wed, Nov 8 2017

General Motors apparently isn't going to let early good reception for the redesigned Lincoln Navigator steal thunder from its own luxury SUV without a fight. It's offering a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Cadillac Escalade this month to any buyer who trades in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model, Bloomberg reports. GM spokesman Jim Cain told Bloomberg the incentive is being offered to keep prices competitive for the Escalade. The 2018 Navigator starts at $72,055, compared to $73,995 for the Escalade, but the outgoing version of the Navigator is selling for an average of around $53,000, compared with more than $80,000 on average for the Escalade, he said. The Escalade was the top-selling domestic luxury SUV in October and No. 4 in the segment, according to Motor Intelligence. It far outsold the Navigator, which last saw a refresh in 2015 and a full redesign in 2007. But Ford is hoping to gain back some ground with the new Navigator and updated Expedition, which also trails the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevy Suburban in its segment. Bloomberg notes that one Morgan Stanley analyst estimates that GM owns a $2 billion annual pretax profit edge in the lucrative luxury sport utility segment. Our recent First Drive review called the new Navigator "far superior to its primary competitor, the Cadillac Escalade."Related Video:

Petersen Museum celebrates 50 years of Ford Mustang with special exhibit

Mon, May 5 2014

If you're a pony-car enthusiast, this is your year. Not only has Ford introduced an all-new Mustang, but it's also the 50th anniversary of the original. Celebrations and commemorations have been scheduled throughout the year, and not the least of them is the latest exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Called "Mustangs Forever: 50 Years of a Legend", the exhibit includes Mustangs from every generation of the iconic pony car, including the 1965 convertible Ronald Reagan drove during his California gubernatorial campaign, a 1971 Mach 1 Cobra Jet, a 1974 Mustang II, 1993 SVT Cobra, 2000 Cobra R and a 2006 Shelby GT-H. Special sections focus on motorsports, aftermarket modifiers and limited-edition models. The display opened on Sunday with the Mustang Madness spectacular and will run for the next six months, but if you're not heading to Southern California within the coming half-year then you can scope out all the action in our live gallery of photos above.

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron

Tue, Jan 3 2017

Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.
