Here's a link to KBB for the truck. I think based on KBB, the new price is fair for what you'd get according to their info.

It's got a pretty decent body, minimal blemishes, no rust, it was a Texas truck, my aunt and uncle in Houston were the original owners, it was used as a daily driver for them, and it is now my DD/Alternate vehicle that I switch between with my conquest. So, it's not driven every day. When we got it it had 120-125k miles on it, so we've put maybe 20-25k on it in the last three years. I do regular oil changes, I put a new alternator in it, replaced an ignition coil (COP style ignition), I put new plugs in it, I also put a ball hitch in the bumper where there's a hole made for that. It has a class 3 (I think) tow rating, it doesn't have the hitch receiver mounted to the frame, if it had that, it would be class 5, good for towing a full trailer and car or whatever you want. I have towed my quest on a u-haul full car trailer with zero problems, it does have the plug for trailer lights.

The interior is very nice, there's a couple little things like a spot on the driver's arm rest that is cracked, and one of the middle-row seats has a couple spots from something, I have no idea how they got there, possibly before we got the truck. Anyway, they're not really bad, the leather is not ruined.

When we got it, the rear factory sub was blown (the surround was gone) so I bought a new sub and replaced that myself.

It is a great reliable vehicle that gets 18mpg on the highway at 70mph.

Any questions will be answered, I'm not going to scam anyone, I'll be straightforward with you, so ask away. Also, pics are available upon request.

P.S. I had it listed at 3700 so it would sell fast, and it wasn't fast enough since the car I wanted the money for already sold, so now it's priced more appropriately.

Dang, I have a buddy that was looking for one of these, but he wants a 4x4 version. Does it go ok in the snow?

[viridionplague]

consider trades at all?

[FattyBoomBatty]

It goes just fine in the snow, I won't lie, the tires are getting old, and a new set would be good, but as it is, I have driven through three winters now and I've never gotten stuck. It's not an off-road vehicle, but it'll handle anything on the road. I was in an ice covered gravel lot with about a foot of snow over the ice I think just last winter, and while it was spinning the rear tire, it made it out after coming to a stop. Some new all-seasons would probably do the same thing without the spinning.

As for trades, I'll take an Audi A6 2.7t quattro with a 6 speed, plz. What do you have to trade?

[viridionplague]

actualy i was thinking maybe my talon, but i dont think i can let it go for 3700, would have to be something to sweeten the deal for me lol.

[viridionplague]

also is it a 5 speed or automatic

[FattyBoomBatty]

Auto, I don't think you could get the expedition in manual. I was hoping to go slightly newer than the ford though.

[viridionplague]

fair enough, just thought i would ask
