Very nice

 

[FROADER]

Nicely done! How much did you get it from the auction if you don't mind my asking?

 

[MEXEXP]

Cost

Well I paid for her at the auction $2,300.00 usd, plus bringing it to the border, I bought the rear liftgate, the rear side glass, the body shop fees, and importing it to Mexico came to a total cost of $4,800.00 total, that's complete like you see it here in the pictures.

 

[FROADER]

Awesome! I've always wanted to go to one of those auctions in L.A.

 

[MEXEXP]

Yeah

Yeah they are great, sometimes you can get a pretty good deal on them, I think I got a good deal on this because it has 120k miles and it's a V8, a lot of people are not bidding on V8's, the same with the expeditions.

I got my exp sport from the Anaheim Auto auctions. Nobody wanted to bid on it because it was a sport. Their loss because it is pretty much loaded. Including electric everything, cd player/cassette, cd changer, almost new tires. Engine runs beautifully for having 115,000 miles on it. Tranny is very smooth, you can barely feel the gear changes. Tires had about 90% of life left on them and were beefy all terrains. Doesn't waste a drop of oil and tranny doenst flare. I've put on about 5000 miles on it and no problems what so ever(knock on wood). Grand total for my 2000 exp sport came out to $3000. I think I got it so low because of the miles and because when we saw it it had a thick layer of dust over all of the outside. Simple wash and she looks almost good as new.

Nice job, two of my explorers have been salvages too, I got my 93 when the first owner rolled it after a year and a half.
