Morning forum,
I went to see a 2000 expy EB edition yesterday, black w/tan leather.
5.4 liter w/100,000 miles on the clock. clean carfax (I did it myself)
exterior looks pretty good no visible rust or major scratches, no big rust spots on the undercarriage. No drips/leaks etc. The guy I spoke to said its a car from a dealer auction and is selling it on the side.
The interior is in pretty good shape for a car of its vintage. The front seats were not cut/scratched at all, the back seats had a couple marks on them but I think a good detailing could get them out. the 3rd row seat looked like it was never used.
The car drove great, no hick-ups. When I hit the gas it went! The 4.7's Ive seen in the past were ehh in terms of get up and go but the 5.4 is niiccee...
Stereo sounds good no blown speakers. I think there is a bass speaker hidden in the trunk????
The only issue i could find is the back passenger window does not go down at all. Not with the driver side control or the switch on the door. And i think the door lock is a little soft coming up/opening. I had to click it twice a few times to get it open. This could be cause of use?? Maybe?? Or maybe there is some loose wiring in the door? The guy selling was surprised that it didnt open. He said he is selling as is and doesnt want to invest any money to fix it.
His price originally was 5300 and after about 10min debating issues, he dropped it to 5g flat.
My question to the forum is... Is this a good buy? Is the window issue a big deal??
Please let me know, I plan on paying dude today
Thank you
