Noob from Florida

[$100horse]

Hi. My name's Jes and I'm from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Don't own an Expedition yet, but, we picked up an Explorer earlier this year. I was so impressed with it (and still am) that I decided she could have that and I would get the "Man Version", as she calls it.

Been looking at a few in the area (to include Orlando) and wanted to see what the members of sites where actual owners post have to say about them.

If anyone has any tips or things I should know before buying, any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Jes

What model year are you looking for?

Not really sure. I am currently looking at a few between 97-00 and one or two a bit newer than that.

There's a very nice (looking) 99 in Orlando. 129K miles, they want, what I think, is a bit much for it $7,995 (with financing). But, I'm going to go take a look at it anyway.

Eww, 8 grand for a 99? You could probably find cheaper.

That's exactly what I was thinking. craigslist is full of Expys that are 97-2000 for less than 6K. Granted, this one only has 129K on it, and in the pictures, the interior is IMMACULATE, and the engine bay is VERY clean, but....I still think that's a bit much, regardless of what Kelly Blue Book says.
