I will be a lot more honest about this vehicle then the previous seller was with me. I purchased this vehicle with the intention of fixing and using for regular towing, but vehicle needs more work/investment then I am willing to put into it. I do have clear title in hand.
The vehicle does run and can be driven for short distance, but I suggest towing or trailering it to your location if you are going to take it out of town. I have only owned for a short period of time, but will share what I know and what I was told by previous owner. Vehicle appears to have a strong running engine and transmission shifts fine. All power options work (did not test heated mirrors but was told they do) and I have tested them all, including the self leveling air suspension and cd changer. Vehicle has 4WD, AWD, and 2WD options and was told all worked, but honestly have only driven it in 2WD mode. I see no reason why they would not work. As a result this vehicle would make an excellent parts vehicle if you need to replace or repair something on current Expedition. There is a tear in the side of the driver's seat in the leather (see pics), but besides that the interior leather is in great shape. Has a K & N style filter and chrome air intake (see pics).
The hood is delaminating (see pics) and there are various nicks, scratches, etc. on paint.
If you want to restore this to a running vehicle for use then please see what is wrong with vehicle below. I have listed everything and noted what can be bypassed and still drive the vehicle.
The BAD:
Original listing had wheel wobble when driven - needs front idler arm and ball joints and an alignment to correct completely.
Grinding noise when driving - front calipers were replaced recently by previous owner but done incorrectly so they need to be removed and reinstalled or possibly replaced.
Master cylinder was replaced by previous owner, but is bad and needs to be swapped out again. As a result it can cause brake pressure when brakes are not depressed, so if driving and it engages it will feel like it is dragging and can smell brake burning, so this is why I do not suggest driving more than short distance. This and the calipers being on incorrectly could continue to cause more damage if continually driven.
I have estimates from local shop for all of the above repairs if interested - please contact me.
I was told shifter arrow did not line up, but in reality the column shifter also has to be played with to shift from gear to gear and is hard to get into park. That combined with the arrow not lining up makes you have to feel what position you are in when you shift. Vehicle can be driven with this unrepaired and not sure how much it will cost to repair. I was able to figure it out with no issues after driving only a couple of times, but it is going to be annoying if you plan to drive it regularly.
Was told it had exhaust leak by previous owner and found that one of the bolts attaching the exhaust to the manifold broke off and was clamped back to together. This would involve redrilling or replacing manifold to correct completely. Also exhaust hangers appear to be missing and is held by wire (see pics). I did not inspect exhaust further than that.
Vehicle has been done South, but according to car history it spent time in New York. As a result, the rear undercarriage is severely rusted and the rear trailing arms need to be replaced if planning on driving the vehicle. One actually has rusted part way through (see pic). I don't suggest driving vehicle for more than short time before repairing if not parting it out.
If you have any other questions about vehicle that I have not addressed in listing or pictures, please contact me.
Payment of $500 deposit through Paypal required within 48 hours of listing end. Remaining payment within 7 days in full unless other arrangements are made with me prior.
If you wish to pay entire amount through Paypal/Bill Me Later, please contact me before making offer or clicking Buy It Now.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
2015 Ford F-150 specs revealed, EcoBoost 2.7L to make 325 hp and 375 lb-ft [w/video]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Our new man Greg Migliore is in attendance at a Ford media event at the Blue Oval's Dearborn, MI headquarters today, and he's reported in with a handful of the 2015 F-150 stats that we've been dying to know. Ford is slow-playing the news release here, but we can still offer up some interesting output and performance figures after half-year of waiting.
We have all be quite aware that Ford's shift to aluminum construction would save a lot of weight for F-150 models, and the results we're hearing now are duly impressive. For instance: in Super Crew trim, a 2015 F-150 is a whopping 732-pounds lighter than was its closest 2014-model-year equivalent. That's like hauling three middle-aged dudes to your bowling alley's league night for free. Polish your balls, guys.
Ford isn't willing to offer up any actual curb weights just yet, but if we take that 732-pound loss and extrapolate with the 5,128-pound curb weight of the 2014 F-150 Super Crew with the 3.7-liter V6, we can guesstimate that 2015 models will measure out in the 4,400-pound range. That's impressive.
