    Looking to buy an Explorer. Questions

    I purchased an AWD 04 4.6 Mercury Mountaineer Premier about 6 years ago with 130k, it was an "as-is" special and about $4k below private party bluebook (from a ford dealership). Seemed to run good and figured if it needed less than $4k in repairs, I would still be ahead. I just turned 200k...

    04 Mountaineer Premeir - Tires spinning on wet and dry pavement

    Went out at lunch, and had co workers keep an eye on them just to make sure. The passengers side front spun like crazy on a patch of slush. Then, with slush coated tires, I did a smokey front tire burnout on a dryer patch of pavement that did not stop until I let off the gas.

    04 Mountaineer Premeir - Tires spinning on wet and dry pavement

    04 Mountaineer Premeir - Tires spinning on wet and dry pavement

    Bought a used '04 Mountaineer 4.6L AWD a few years ago with 130K. It was an "As-Is" special at a dealership for a considerable amount below blue book, so I was expecting a repair or two. So far I have not been forced to put much money into it at all, but it did have two problems that i noticed...
