Just thought I would provide an update. Yesterday, I purchased a Acura MDX. I'm not here to bash ford or anything but there were way too many problems with each of the used eddie bauer explorer's I looked at. Even the certified ones.

Since my quest for a used explorer isn't going well, I went back out to look at the new '06 models again yesterday evening. I just can't believe that you can get a brand new 5.4L expedition eddie bauer for $42K and a fully loaded eddie bauer v8 explorer costs $41K. Even with my X-Plan, its...

Update: I took the *Certified* 2004 Eddie Bauer explorer out to have it checked over once again by a independent shop to make sure everything was okay with it. Here was the list. Brakes had 20% pad life remaining, oil leak around the oil pan, headlight knob just came off in mechanics hand...

well the eddie bauer explorer turned out to be a piece of junk just like the other 4 i have looked at. is 2002-2005 just a bad year for the explorer? out of the 4 eddie bauers i have looked at in the 20K-40K mile range, each one has had issues. Ranging from something scrubbing/rubbing in the...

I found a 2004 Eddie Bauer V6 4X4, black automatic with 39K miles that im considering purchasing. Im going out to the dealership tomorrow to check it over and im wondering what specific areas i should pay special attention to. I've read a few things about the transmissions on these so i plan...
