Sometimes, in life you have to make tough decisions....

I spent 2 years driving my Ford Explorer. I absolutely loved my car, but the Ford delear´s costs were getting just too expensive.....It was hard keeping those costs down because just about everything had to be imported from the US.

I bought the car for 9500 Euro and sold it for 9000 Euro. I spent around 5000 in repairs... it wasn´t a bad deal though. 2250 a year is OK for such a cool SUV. I just hope that the new owner treats the car as well as I did

I just wanted to thank all of you guys who helped me out with your advice this past couple of years.

I feel your pain, I had a Mazda RX-7 once, and the dealer had to order parts from Japan, although very few times. My RX-7 was pretty reliable, but still the parts were VERY expensive.

Sorry to hear about your explorer.... I would sell mine, but know one would buy ot.... So, I decided it is cheaper for me in the long run to keep it, and turn it into a trail vehicle with a full cage and as minimal body as possible.....

Too bad...

Too bad you couldn't befriend one of the U.S. servicemen nearby to order you parts and have them shipped to them instead. I know too well how it is being overseas with an american vehicle.
