This auction is for a fully loaded black, 2000 Ford Explorer XLT V-8 with a towing hitch, roof rack, hitch rack, and snow chains. The truck is in great condition for a 13 year old car. It was just professionally detailed and has always been adult driven, has never been smoked in, driven off-road, or otherwise thrashed, crashed, driven hard, or abused. It has been a trusted member of our family for 10 years and we have returned the favor by taking excellent care of the car. It's had 174,000 easy miles of running around a suburban town, with an occasional camping trip. We are selling because it's time to move on to something newer and we need a car with a third row seat. The car runs like a top and with the V-8 power, when you step on the gas you know it. This truck has a lot of guts and there's no doubt it can handle a towing load.We are the second owners and purchased the car in 2002 with 36,000 miles from a local car dealer in Westlake Village, California. We paid $19,000 and the original MSRP on the vehicle was approximately $25,000.
The car is serviced regularly and we have most of the maintenance records. The Michelin tires were purchased at Costco in 2007 and still have lots of tread left. It has a new starter, new bulbs in the instrument panel, new cruise control switches, new door lock remote control, and new door lock actuators, and new floormats. The air conditioning blows cold. In 2009 the transmission was overhauled and it runs perfectly. The oil was changed very recently at Jiffy Lube and it will be another several thousand miles before it is due for its next oil change, etc. When you drive the car away it will also have a full tank of gas. This car is turn-key and ready to roll.
As a bonus, the car was just registered and is not due again until May, 2014.
There is normal wear and tear in the interior including some fading of the dashboard and tears in the driver's leather seat. The leather on the steering wheel is warped and we have put a very nice steering wheel cover on it. The exterior has normal dings and scratches and two small dents. The most serious exterior flaw is fading/oxidized paint on the roof. The stereo with 5 CD changer works great but the digital display is burned out. This is a California car and there is no rust damage. There are no mechanical problems with the car that I am aware of. See photos for cosmetic issues.
Please note that the car is also being advertised locally, so this auction can be canceled at any time. And the car, of course, is being sold "as is."Thank you.Ford Explorer for Sale

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
Ford Mustang GT500 successor spied near SVT
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.
