Noob Expy owner from SoCal 07 Limited
Hello,
With a heavy heart we've said goodbye to our 07 Mazda 6 wagon. With open arms, we've welcomed our beauty 07 Expedition Limited . I've been a FoMoCo guy tbh having owned uncommon models: 03 ZX2, 04 SVT Focus, & 07 Mazda6 S wagon.
Our Expi had low mileage but it was properly used in the last seven years so it's got a few details here and there . Avoiding the dealer "extended" warranty I'm left to sort a few of these things on my own but I really don't mind. Here's my concerns:
-missing weights on one wheel (dealer agreed to new balance and alignment job at closing without extra costs)
-a/c is constantly blowing (found the tsb, will ask the dealer if they will cover or I don't mind replacing it myself).
-
-remote fob has a broken latch and the auto lift gate won't work. Found some replacements and will try the diy programming.
-bit of wind noise. Ill need to check the weather-seals.
-small tare in front seat. Will get that stitched up
Buying used always comes with some imperfections and I can live with taking care of some minor stuff myself. This thing is loaded and just love the amount of options and the Limited aesthetic queues. Overall, we love it and I'm so glad we didn't go for the Armada since I have an affinity to FoMoCo cars. Car was straight and no signs of repairs . I need to spend a good day to figure out the smaller ins and outs.
Driving is very smooth on new rubber with the stock 18'ers. Doesnt sseem rushed nor lethargic, though I've only driven it a couple of days. No challenge driving this large suv since I've driven an 89'F250 7.5 quite a bit. Irs was a must to fold down the 3rd bench and a full middle bench. Spent more on this Limited model but the all black interior is gorgeous (not a fan of EBE tan )
Got the stink-eye from my bowtie-fan neighbor , who kept pushing for the Nissan or a Tahoe/Yukon.
I'll have pics up in a bit.
