- 2010 ford explorer
Found a one owner/driver Ford Explorer XLT 2010. The truck has 165k miles on it. Back story its a company car that the owner opted to buy out. He is the only driver of the car he says and its pretty much all highway miles as he works in the oil industry and does a lot of driving.
I checked out the car and it looks pretty clean besides chrome on the grill is chipping off and some paint on the top by the racks is starting to fade/chip.
Engine runs smooth. He did recently have the power steering reservoir replaced as the old one was leeking. I noticed underneath the car there was fluid on the drive shaft and drivers side of the frame which i think by smelling and tasting was power steering fluid.
Anyway I have a mobile vehicle inspector checking out the car today. Hoping to get a fairly clean bill of inspection.
Buyer is asking $5500, thinking I can get hom down to $4500 after the inspection.
Do you guys think this is a good purchase if car checks out? Or is it to many miles? Im trying to get 2-3 more years out of the car. I have heard good things about explorers and thinking I should be able to get at least 250k miles from this car right?
Anyways im new here, thanks for any input. I hope I will be a Ford Explorer owner here soon.
