I have too many vehicles! You are looking at a 2002 Ford Explorer that I have invested roughly $4000 fixing up only to decide we wanted a different car before I got it back from the shop... So here we go: The transmission and rearend have almost 0 miles on the rebuild (I only drove it home from the shop). The transmission and transfer case shift smooth. The rear wheel bearings were replaced at that time as well. All work was done by an ASE certified technician. Rear Tires have about 90% tread life left and front tires have less than 100 miles on them. I put a new battery in it last month. Motor is solid. I have no concerns with the drivetrain on this vehicle. I would have no reservations about taking off cross country in it today!
The exterior of this vehicle is in pretty good shape for its age and for having 118,460 miles on it. However, The plastic on the bumper is popped loose on the left rear but is barely noticeable and an easy fix (see picture). There is a minor nickel-sized door ding on the right rear door. There are some minor rock chips and blemishes as u would expect on a vehicle of this age. But as I said, it's in pretty good shape.
The seats are all leather. The driver's seat shows considerable wear but is comfy. The passenger seat is also showing wear but not as bad as the driver's seat (see pictures). The rear seats are in excellent shape. There was a sizeable stain on the carpet in the hatch when I took the pictures but my wife put some elbow grease into it and was able to get it out. Also, the left rear power window is not working and the compass only works part of the time.
The heat and air conditioner work great!
I have two keys and two fobs. The keypad on the door functions properly.
I am not a dealer! This is the car my wife and I drove everyday and I truly believe this is a good, reliable vehicle. Please feel free to drive this vehicle before you bid. If you have any questions I should be able to answer them for you.
Serious bidders only please! I have already sold this vehicle once but the winning bidder did not pay. I think he had a legitimate excuse but it creates a real headache when that happens.
Thanks for looking, Happy bidding, and good luck

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
Project Ugly Horse: Part V
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
