Hello everybody/anybody,
I am looking to buy a 2006-2008 Explorer, preferably V8, but it all depends on availability. I was wondering if there are any common problems to look out for when buying, are the gearboxes more reliable than the older ones (I had a 1999 4.0, gearbox went bad!, but the rest of the car was awesome) I am not a rich man, so am trying to avoid any unnecessary costs, so if a V8 is better or worse than the V6, or any other considerations anybody may feel I need to know, then please let me have them. Many thanks, and I look forward to any replies.
