Hey I haven't been on here in a few years as I traded my 05 Explorer for a 11 Fusion. Looking into getting a truck and keep going back to a STA. I drive around 20-25K per year for work and wanting to get rid of my Fusion with 136K on it.
Question is how are the STA's with high mileage? My 05 Explorer (4.0L) did great until I got over 150K and then had some intermittent transmission issues, so I traded it in. Are the 6-speeds more reliable than the 5's?
Everyone is proud of the STA's and I can't blame them but $20K for a low mileage is to pricey for me being I put a lot of miles on my cars. I found a local 08 STA with 124K on it for under $13K and was wondering if it's worth it (has a clean Carfax) or should I just stay away from high mileage Fords?
Thanks in advance!
