Hello everyone, haven't been on here in about a month since I've been vacation with my dad. Anyways, I don't want to talk about what led up to what happened to my grandma when she was driving because I feel like I would get hate for it and blamed for something not my fault but possibly the doctor. I had heard she had hit two park cars, hit two more cars and drove up on a curb and the tire came off. She's still in the hospital but is recovering, started to talk a bit a couple days ago from what I heard. The Explorer ended up at the impound by the police and my grandpa had been busy so by the time he wanted to get it, it was too much to get out so he's getting a replacement title and going to sign it over to them and get some stuff out. They had it new since 99' and sad to see it go because I grew up with it basically. When I get back to the U.S, I plan on buying a 1st or 2nd generation Explorer. Most likely I will be buying on Copart (auction site) because I really don't have money to spend and vehicles where I live are in "the rust belt". I plan on getting something with minor work that needs to be fixed and nothing major. (Yes, I am aware of the "dangers" and etc. of buying a car on an auction site). But I'm looking for one labeled "Run and Drive" and either salvage title because I plan on keeping it or a clean title prefferably.
So, I'm looking for suggestions of what it should have when buying one. I prefer to have 4WD.
ALSO, I'm looking to see which is the best year Explorer I should buy from the 1st and 2nd gen. Another thing is which are best Engines that are bullet proof and easy to work on. Please, I am looking for opinions on on stuff like this and sorry for making this so long. Help me out here, thank you.
