Found a 2000 EB/2wd/5.4L. Local car, same owner for the last 10 yrs. 121k miles.
I took a long test drive today, car felt good, nothing stood out to me an an issue. Sunroof doesnt work (not a deal breaker) everything else seemed to work besides the passenger unlock didnt work all the time from the remote (common i think) and the dvd player wont play through the audio system, theres a fm modulator dealio but it has lost power but dvds play fine and get sound from the headphones, which is how it would ever be used anyways. I think thats the only things noticed.
The carfax is clean, body is perfect. Paint could really use a good waxing. Interior was whole, could use a good detailing. The leather looked Ok, crinkly but no tear/rips. Steering wheel needs a cover thrown on it.
Most in my area are approaching 200k miles. I felt that finding a same owner long term with only 121k was a good find and with some elbow grease this could be a nice clean ride.
From what I see online, prices are all over the place. We are at $4300 as is on this one. He came down some to account for the detailing but it firm at this price due to the lower miles and the fact that hes owned it for 10 yrs and isnt hurting to make a sale. So assuming these are the only issues and drivetrain is sound, is this a decent deal?
edit- its a southeast car, no rust below. I did see some on the roof rack railing up top when i climbed up there. Assuming I can recoat those.
