I have had a look at craigslist and found a few other vehicles which is really bad as it makes it harder to decide. There seems to be some too good to be true sales so I have limited myself to 96 -01 gen 2 explorers. Overall they have varied from 2K to 3.5K so the first choice above is another...

After the comments above and my budget I may be able to afford new tyres all round. What is the standard size and best tyres to get. Are they very expensive? And yes I know you spell tyres as tires here but I like the Australian way.....:p:

Choice 3 is a 2002 model. The first one was repainted in 09. The dealer said the old man who owned it was bored and hated the off white colour. He had owned it for 2 years before the paint and 1 year afterward. I am not sure if it is a home job (the dealer thinks so) as the paint is really good...
