2001 Ford Explorer V8 AWD

*NHarris* · 07-11-2012, 02:00 AM

I'm not looking forward to selling my truck already, as I've only had it two months, but I'm looking towards going to a different style project. Its a 2001 with a 5.0L V8 3.55 gearing. It has a torsion twist a shackles sitting on brand new 31's. The truck has only ever been off road once. I knew the 2nd owner, and the first was a rental. I've had the truck two months and have loved it. Sadly it isn't all what I want and need. I think I'm going for either a truck or a Jeep. It blue books at $6200.

The good:
110k miles
Torsion twist, shackles
Almost NEW 31" Falken Rocky Mountain tires.
Newer front end suspension parts (ball joints, tie rods, etc)

Not so good:
It has a slight leak in between the transmission and t-case. I have the gasket for it.
The front diff has a slight seep as well.

I want to get $5500 out of it. I'm pretty firm on the price. Its in amazing shape. Call or text me at 801 710 0321. If I do not answer, leave me a voicemail and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Located in Ogden.

No big rush to sell it. I really don't mind keeping it if it comes down to it. It'll just take more work to do what's needed.

I don't want it to go to the hands of a non EF member.

What kind of pics are you needing to see? Interior, motor, underneath?

Hate to be Debbie Downer but I don't think you're going to get anywhere close to $6000 for it. Especially since it's not an EB or limited. I will say it looks to be in pretty good shape.

*NHarris* · 07-19-2012, 10:27 AM

I've priced it for my area. The V8 with AWD in good condition goes for about this price in Utah. Considering two months ago I paid $6000 for it, and I've put new tires and a lift on it as well as cleaned it up, I think 6,000 is fair.

Wow. I should buy up explorers here and sell them there. From a private party here, similar explorers go for 3500-4000. Even dealers don't get 6k for V8s here.

I should wait until winter. 4wd/AWD go up in price nicely.

EDIT: Actually I had to talk the dealership I bought my X from down about $2000.00

I don't remember there being a winter when I was in Ogden! Just a bunch of people bundling up in heavy coats during light sweater weather

Anyway, good luck with the sale.

Thanks! It is indeed a nice truck. Just had a professional install a new center console cover bought from an EF vendor!
