Day Late - New Guy from N-FL

[Notrega]

I bought a 2005 Eddie Bauer 4x4 Expedition thus week. It has 142k miles but the body and interior are in excellent condition, no dings, no faded paint, no tears in the seats, or stains in the carpet. It has everything but navigation and heated seats. The only thing I am missing is floor mats.

The carfax shows clean history with 2 owners and all the scheduled maintenance.

It runs well and drives great, the wife calls it "The Beast".

I paid $6,800 for it and KBB says that's a good deal for that vehicle.

I have been reading through this forum but what do I need to know?

welcome.

If it were my new-to-me purchase, i'd baseline the maintenance items to keep it running smoothly, then delve into other areas that need attention.

I think what he's trying to say is change all the fluids and check all wear items like brakes and joints. Unless you have some written log of any maintenance done, you don't know for sure. Make every thing start fresh. I would also recommend, get the plugs changed. 2nd gen are notorious for plugs sticking and breaking off in the hole. MAJOR PITA.
