Here's a Carfax, FWIW. Y'all can look it over and see if you see anything significant.

Still chewing on whether it's the right thing to do or not.

Would be nice to know what actual maintenance was done vs Carfax "Recommended maintenance performed". Plugs replaced at 100K? Does a LUBE place do plugs? I'd wonder what recommended maintenance was done or just buy the vehicle and do all those?

Gotta be there. Price seems high but if all the maintenance was done and it has brand spankin new tires and brakes and it looks cherry … could be worth it. Especially if it was the color and features you want. Extra points if NO BUBBLING PAINT.

Exactly the question I had.

Also looks like it came from an auction. Guess tho, probably 90% of used vehicles do. Anybody know of a way to see what it sold for at the auction?

If you have the vin, theirs an app that will get you that info. Theirs a post earlier last week that did just that. Found out a vehicle that was selling for $11,000, was bought at auction for $4,000. That's one hell of a Payday.

I just checked Menheim auctions and it wasn't sold there. Also Googled the VIN and didn't come up with anything. Sometimes the dealers even offer the car for less than they paid, then make their money on fees and back end financing charges. Some dealers around here shoot for $3500 in fees.

It was sold at Missouri auto auction.

Been looking today at what different Expeditions are listed at. Found a 13 on Craigslist for 1500 less, with fewer miles, but it's only an XLT. We'd be fine with that but we don't really like the two-tone paint scheme...

Not an app, just google the vin, some sites post auction results with actual vin numbers.... for reasons unknowable, that particular site was from TANZANIA (yes, africa), presumably for prospective importers... but there's many others, and lots of nations use english

Can you direct me to that post or app?

Thanks Adieu, didn't know it was that easy. Thought it was an app you download. Thanks for clearing that up for our members.

Based on that CarFax, I would run far, far away. For the first 18 months of its life it remained at the original dealer before being sold. Somehow during that time the windshield was damaged, which makes me wonder if that was in any way related to the fact that it was barely driven for those first 18 months. Maybe it's nothing, but the dealer I purchased my truck from had a disgruntled customer intentionally plow into 14 of their new vehicles. They fixed those vehicles in-house and sold them as new. :x Anyway, let's just say for the sake of argument the manager was just driving it around and there's nothing fishy there and move on.

Note the number of times the electrical was checked. That suggests some type of electrical issue that no one could track down. Then in 2018 the vehicle was sold by Eddy's Toyota and then ended up back at Eddy's Toyota a couple months later, who then auctioned it off. Now why would a dealer auction off a vehicle that they deemed worthy to sell only a couple months prior? It just seems like a lot of fast dumps of this vehicle in recent months.
