    16-17 Explorer questions

    Oh okay Im following what you mean now. Doesn't seem like it would be much of an issue - I don't have a habit of needing to floor it out of red lights too often lol I do live outside of a city though and if its consistently happening everytime I'm stopped that could get annoying.

    Napalm, spool up? What do you mean? I was under the impression the ecoboost turbo option is a more powerful (albeit smaller) engine with more HP and a good amount more torque - shouldn't it get up and go a little quicker than the v6 ? PS: without going on a rant about gun control, great quote...

    16-17 Explorer questions

    Thanks guys - I will be getting a 4WD train regardless, was just wary of the ecoboost lol Id like to test drive one but its virtually barren of Explorers in this part of Canada right now. Im not travelling 3-5 hours just for a test drive haha. Im leaning towards the leather, I have 2 children...

    I suppose it depends on the the leather quality ? Im leaning that way, just apprehensive. Im pretty much sold on the engine, just wanted to make sure there wasnt some issues with it that I wouldnt discover until its too late.

    16-17 Explorer questions

    Hey guys - wanting to place an order for a 2017 or maybe find a 2016 if theres a deal out there but I'm bot sure about two things. 1) The ecoboost turbo engine - what are the gear heads opinion on this? Its smaller and has more torque and HP But im skeptical and not experienced enough with...

    Buy/Lease, or wait ?

    I'm waiting on something similar as well. I'll look into some credit unions as well, havn't gone that route before. I've only ever shopped around a couple of banks and they'd rather set themselves on fire than lend anything at prime, let alone below it. I'm likely going to wait for a 2017 at...

    Buy/Lease, or wait ?

    Yeah 0% for 7 years would be killer - i plan to drive this next vehicle for at least that long.

    Buy/Lease, or wait ?

    Ahh sneaky - interest raises will offset the cost so theres really not much of a deal to be had anyway... Is there any difference in interior between the base model and XLT besides the seats? I cant find a straight answer and theres none around here to look at. Just wondering if the dash...

    Buy/Lease, or wait ?

    Oh okay - Ive just noticed theyve done the employee pricing thing up here for the last few years almost every summer, maybe im wrong. How tough would it be to negotiate it down close to that ? Shaving down 2-3k off the sticker price is worth the effort to me if it can be done. Ive been calling...

    Buy/Lease, or wait ?

    Oh right, thanks Tuscany I hadnt even thought of it that way. Id thougt they would give the 16s away cheaper when the 17s rolled out but not by nearly enough to cover that year - thats a good point. I dont drive a whole lot and staying under 20k per year or even 16k is pretty likely...

    Buy/Lease, or wait ?

    I can afford a finance but i always felt the prices for new cars along with depreciation, interest etc is just robbery and hard to justify as a smart expense. On the other hand had I bought my current vehicle used it would have cost me almost just as much anyway so.. Im likely going to...

    Buy/Lease, or wait ?

    Hey guys - been pacing around the idea of buying a 16 Explorer XLT for a while now - though I've been seeing they are having alot of issues with paint chipping, throttle body defects etc. I've also always financed by cars but I'm starting to wonder if leasing for a few years and buying it...
