Good buy?

[Dcarver]

I'm currently looking at buying am 07 expy with 137,000 miles is this a good buy? I currently own a 98 F150 that's very dependable but not enough room anymore. Any advice on what to expect with these models would be great and how dependable they are. Thanks

Well whether it is a good buy depends what you are paying for it haha. Look up the KBB on it and go from there. Here is a thread with all sorts of posts on what people payed for their expy's. And welcome to the forum!

Dealer wants 9500 for it. Damn near perfect condition and clean car fax

It is definitely a buyer's market for big gas guzzling SUV's. We just bought my mom a 2000 for 1500 bucks. What is the KBB? I dont know what options it has otherwise I would look it up myself. That will tell you what appr. it should be worth and whether it is a good deal. Also visit the 3rd gen section and there is a thread at the top labeled "What to look for". It is worth a look through for things you should check for before forking out the cash.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me. I don't see anything advertised within 2k of that in Houston, and the KBB is higher than that as well.

Actually, it may be too good a deal. Definitely get a CarFax report, and maybe have an inspection done for non-reported repairs.

Ask owner if he's had spark plugs and O2 sensors changed. That's not a bad deal if oils been changed on time and tranny is good. Got my 08 Limited from a private dealer for 18k and it had 80k on it....not bad. If he's the only owner he should have all receipts ;^)
