What years should I look at?

[roush9799]

Looking at buying a used expy or navigator for an extra vehicle. Looking at years from about 03-07 with around 80kk-130k miles on them. Seeing prices in the $6000-$12000 range. What years should I steer clear of, and which are the better years/models. I farm, so this vehicle will take me on vacation, out to eat, and an occasional trip to town when I'm not farming. Wife will either still use the escape or mountaineer for her daily driver.

I don't have the graph handy, but statistically 2006 and 2007 had the highest incidence of reported problems according to one survey. Considering that 2007 was the first model year for the 3rd generation, it makes sense that it would more prone to problems as intro model years usually are.
