Hello,
Here is a 2005 Explorer in near mint condition, This has been maticulously maintained and needs nothing! Over the last year. When she needed maintanance, she got it! No Rust at all. We dont have a need for a SUV any longer.
The 2 wd is a MUCH more reliable vehicle than the 4wd as the gas mileage is much better, and less mechanical wear items to break. (this gets about 18 mpg, which is a testiment to condition of the engine) Within the last 5000 miles, we have replaced:
All 4 struts
All 4 springs
All 4 wheel bearings
Tie rods (inner and outer)
Tie rod ends
Front ball joints
Front control arms
sway bar bushings and ends
EGR valve (expensive!)
Belt tensioner
Belt idler pulley
Belt
Allignment
Mobil one oil/filter changed
This truck drives like BRAND NEW
at 100,000 miles thetransmition servos were replaced, filter, fluid, and valves replaced,
Differential fluid replaced with synthetic
Tires are all in great shape and have more than 80 percent life remaining. Brakes and hoses are all in good shape.
All of this work was done because the parts were worn, and my girlfriend drives this 40 miles each way to school. NOT because of a collision.
So whats wrong with it?
1 of the 4 tire pressure monitor sensors have a dead battery. It will need to be replaced at 77.00 installed by discount tire. The pressure monitoring STILL WORKS however. I will probably have this fixed before the sale ends.
Also there is a small dent UNDER the fender in front of the door. You wouldnt see it if you didnt know where to look.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown
Fri, 10 Jan 2014You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."
This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.
