I am in the market for a 3rd Gen (2007-2017) Ford Expedition with the 5.4L V8 that is under 200k miles. What should I look out for particularly? Saw an 07 Expedition EL for sale on FB mktplace for $5.5k 197k miles private seller. Owner said oil chsnge every 5k and tranny fluids at 80k and 160k.
- I plan to take it to a mechanic to check it out. I am in Houston as well so if anyone could point me to a good mechanic in Houston (it's a shame since Scotty isn't in toen anymore) that'd be appreciated as well. Been watching Scotty since I was a kid and love the forum.
- Thanks
Well I'm not a fan of those explorers, but actually they're decent vehicles with the V8 engine. So just make sure you have a good mechanic. Check it out before you buy. Realized with higher mileage, though it probably will need the transmission overhauled that's the weakest point
Thanks. I am not a big fan of newer Explorers either. Except the older ones with the V8 (aiming for a V8 vehicle since I do havw plans to do some heavy loads down the road).
Althought I am looking at Expeditions, not Explorers. Are the 10th Gen Suburbans better?
Saw a couple more private listings today for both Expeditions and Suburbans around the $7k mark between 150k and 170k miles.
