so i have an 03 eb expedition and love it. ive owned it for 2 years and have put so much money into it that its mine. all the plugs have been fixed (1,2,3,4,and 7) and the remaining c.o.p.'s have been replaced. however i dont trust it. it seems like everytime i go any real distance i drive home with a noticable miss.
today i decided that it was time for something else, and went to all the local car lots to trade it in. so i have this 03 eddie bauer with 72000mi with no dents or other damage and 5000 cash (in oregon on low kbb trade with cash= 15000 give or take 1000). oddly enough the only choices i have are a few older 98-02 trucks with high miles and a nice 02 avalanch with 64000mi. the real problem is the dealership claims my front diff is bad (my mechanic who has much more experience says its nothing and if it was id know it). and only wants to give me 7500.
heres where you come in. what should i do? seriously what else could be wrong with my expy that 5k wont make go away? or should i cut my losses and move on? oh and i really do like the avalanch(but the expy is in better shape)
