Lucas's $500, 1999 Explorer

Hey guys,

My name is Lucas
I'm located in St. Cloud, Minnesota

My XLT Explorer
138k Miles
New tires and front breaks
Bought it for $500 with a broken band in the trans.
Since then I've put maybe $1000 into it between a used transmission from the JY, changed rear diff fluid/gasket, replaced lower ball joints, and some other minor things.

I still have a rough idle (think it's the IAC, tried a new one but returned it. It would rev real high then die, the old one just causes it to spudder and die on cold start up. I think I would need to reset the computer). It also has a clunk when I rock it sideways, thinking it could be the shocks.

Anyway, here she is. Not to bad for a second vehicle (Also have a Monte Carlo).

not bad at all for $500...really nice score.
 






I agree- well bought!
 






thats a steal not a bad deal for 500 bux
 






Wow 500 clams, thats a deal.

Its worth that without an engine.

Great buy, looks nice and clean, I like that color.
 






The only thing that could have made that a better deal, is if it was out in my driveway instead of yours. Nice find!!
