- 95 XLT, 91 E.B., 00 XLT
I am sitting here chilled out tonight, looking to add to the family fleet. All 3 of our cars have over 120K.. My 91 Explorer is invinicable @ 251,000 orignial miles (all by me and my mom)..But our van and the lumina aren't far behind (134K and 150K respectivly).. Anyway, I want to buy a newer car... Please help me decide, because I can't.
My moms Emerald Green 1995 XLT (one I have listed), 55K, Fully Loaded, Everything for a 95 XLT except the Sunroof. The one problem with it is the 4x4 works intermittantly. Plus mom loves it...
A Desert Violet 1997 Eddie Baure with 72K, the basic eddie package with keyless entry, cd changer and leather.. $9,995, No history with this truck at all
Dads Red 2000 with 20K, a lady in a bonnieville ran into it, and it had $2200 repair work done (front hub, new front tires, two rims, passanger door, power steering rack, new front shocks, and a bumper)Mainly used for his real estate busniess. Has CD Changer, Cass/CD and and all of the Xlt goodies
A 1996 Mocha Frost with 114K, all the records, but manily a plain jane xlt, with power bucket seats, regular consoule (904A Pkg, I think)
A 2001 XLT with Leather, 55K some records, used for a pizza delivery truck.
I am leaning twords dads, because, his was one of the last sold (9/01/00) with the 4.0 OHV V6 and his better taken care of than moms or any of the others.
I don't modify cars, so thats not a factor. I love explorers and have been two near fatel wrecks in two different ones (my first was a 1994, and dads old 1997 Mountaineer)and walked away unsacthed. I have a Car and a Van to help keep the miles down. Between my self and my two kids who drive, we put 85K on cars a year..
Thanks for your opinions, I am hopeing to buy something soon.
