    Purchased a 2000 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 5.0 AWD

    Purchased and drove it home 2.5 hours today. Overall really impressed so far. It has 143k miles. Going to have my mechanic look it over sometime soon, but I feel like I've made a good purchase. It needs a good detailing on the inside, but I'm excited about this one.
