I'm in the market for a used Explorer and I would like some help figuring out what I'm getting into since I haven't owned one before.
I'm considering a high-mileage 4.0, 2002 Explorer with 4WD and the tow package. I test drove my first one today and it had 132,000 miles on it. It drove very well. This guy was asking $7500 for it.
What do I have to look out for and what should I expect a car with this mileage will need?
I noticed the timing belt and the owner said it hasn't been replaced. Has had it's tranny flushed, new brakes, new A/C condensor and new tires.
I'm not looking for this to be a primary vehicle at all. Just a mountain/snow driving and future dreams of towing a ski boat or jet skis.
Your advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
