Opinion on 2012 w/20k miles
Thank you for all of the great information and insights, everyone. I arrived at the dealership the morning of Christmas Eve and went straight to the service bay where they had topped off the fluids and changed the oil, so I could hear the engine turn over cold. It started no problem and I...- Tonspike

Not sure where it’s implied that it “runs rough”. Not trying to get defensive because I appreciate all the suggestions received so far, but I had it inspected by a local Ford dealership (it’s being sold by an independent dealership) and they said it runs perfectly. Regardless, I’ll be checking...- Tonspike

As far as I know the tires have been changed in front and in back individually as sets at different times and have since been rotated. I’ll put on a matching set once settled—it’s hard finding a lot of info on these former government vehicles. The presence of rust is deceiving because while it...- Tonspike

Tires are not original thankfully, they've been changed a couple times since new.- Tonspike

That's a bit worrying--maybe the idle situation is similar here. It's gone on two drivability tests so far (independent dealer as well as Ford) and both are clean but I'm a bit skeptical as to how thorough they are. I'll look out for that problem when I'm there myself.- Tonspike

Agreed on $17.5k, 2012 XL w/20k miles, clean title and I'd technically be first owner as it has never been registered to a civilian.- Tonspike

Thanks for the input fellas. Yes, this is a Ford dealer quote on the fluids and I'm in a pinch time-wise as I'm headed cross-country tomorrow. If you think it can wait, I can definitely go third party once settled in the new location in a couple weeks. Appreciate the heads up. It has a clear...- Tonspike

Hey guys, Looking to join the Expy ranks with a 2012 XL with barely 20k-odd miles on the clock. I've had it inspected by a Ford dealership and it checks out minus some surface rust on the underside (although it's a New Mexico truck) and most critically: a lack of any documentation that states...- Tonspike
