2016 Expy XLT with 202A

[mkramer309]

Good evening everyone. Im about to purchase this vehicle tomorrow morning and wanted to get one last opinion to see if I missed any red flags, things to look out for, etc. It's 2016 Expedition XLT with 202A package, has 52k miles. If you are so inclined please take a look at its listing below (its at a Honda dealer) and check out its carfax and auto check to see if there is anything concerning. Ive never owned a Ford before so Im not to familiar. Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance.

It's a good package to get. What does concern me is that the second owner had it for exactly a year and quickly sold/traded it just 30 miles after the water pump was replaced. It's almost as if it was driven to the Honda dealer after it was picked up from the shop (dealers are 25 miles away from each other). OR they had it for just 6 months and got rid of it in Feb. Carfax is sometimes hard to read. I do believe that the price is too high for a former rental car unless it comes with a full warranty. Try to go to the Ford dealership listed in the history & ask for a copy of the repairs & recommended repairs for it.

Looks like a nice car. But you can eliminate the scummy middleman dealer and save some money. You may want to look at the Hertz site and buy direct from them.

They have 2017's with 42,000 miles for $26,000. They also include a 12 month warranty and include the service records. Any color you want. Delivered.

I'd get the lowest mileage 2017 I could find. . .

It does have a CPO powertrain warranty up till 100k. That's always a plus

I had a chance to buy a 2017 Limited with only 1100 miles. It was a demo used by a family member. It was just like my 2011 I totaled in a wreck but newer. We love it. Check around for demo's. This time of year they are selling them.

Well I went ahead and bought it. First Ford I've ever owned. Now what? Ha.

Depends on what your goal is and how much $$ you have available. Accessories are hard to find & expensive.

I also have a 2016 XLT, I bought mine almost a year ago with 57k on it.. I did the plugs around 60k and it was due, the gap was pretty wide on all 6 and it was starting to miss at idle. Basically, forced induction engines are pretty hard on oil and plugs, so change them both more frequently than the owners manual states. I do 5k mile oil changes and it's pretty dirty by then.
