03 EB Next on the chopping block

[robl110]

2003 ford expedition eddie bauer 4x4 104k miles, loaded w/dvd, moonroof, heated and cooled seats, front and rear heat and a/c, 2nd row capt. chairs, power 3rd row seat, tires are in great shape, newer brakes and rotors, always ran synthetic oil. very well maintained. asking $10,500


We are going to take a look this Saturday.
I am not a huge fan of red but it would look decent with black 18's and some 275/70/18 BFG's.

I just talked to the owner. No rust, no paint bubbles, 5.4L, always ran Mobil 1 since 12k miles, all options work, its never spit out a plug, has HD Tow but never towed anything. Needs all 100k maintenance.

For an 03 what all needs to be done at 100k besides plugs?

If its as clean as mentioned I would probably offer $9500 and maybe pay as high as $10000. Decent deal for an 03?

Dang, a 111 views and no comments hahaha. You guys must be busy with last minute Valentines Day planning.

I found this:

I was surprised to find that the transmission, TC and diffs fluid change is not recommend until 150k miles. It looks like the only thing needed at 100k is spark plugs and inspect everything else.

I researched the 4R70W and it appears to have pretty good reviews. Plus if it did go out a HD Monster 4R70W with converter could be had for under $1800 with free shipping.

Looking at buying this one. We will see if it makes the cut. Wrong expression maybe

Yeah, wrong expression. I was wondering the same. Sounds like a pretty good deal.

 

[Knautical2001]

Sounds like a good deal to me too.

I got the VIN today. Everything checks out, no accidents. Unfortunately it did not give me the original dealer so I could call for a build sheet. Does anyone know of any other tricks to getting a build sheet? I am looking to double check that it has the HD tow package and 3:73 gears. 1fmu18L33La83067

U can call ford parts department and give them the vin and they should tell u the info u need.

Cool! For some reason I thought it had to be the parts dept of the original dealership where it was sold.

Thanks Big! Called the local Ford dealer. It has HD Tow and 3:73 but not LS. I hope its as clean rig. Then the search can be over and I can start ordering parts =)

If I was to go with just a front leveling kit what would be the best size tire to go with an 18" rim? I want to go as big as possible with zero rubbing issues.

Not buying this one. It's tough to find a clean expy. I am guessing that's because so many are used for hauling the kids. It's not like looking for trucks where you can find super clean ones that were some guys pride and joy. Then again I am probably just too picky.
