- 2000 XLS
I just picked up my 2000 XLS last sunday. Love the ride, picked it up with 138k miles on it. New tires, factory everything. Driven by a non-smoker since 03 (not sure on owner before that). And the outside is gorgeous. (exterior pic at the bottom of post)...
Heres a short list of what I have noticed since i bought it, but bear in mind i only gave 3k for it, so I knew about some of these issues before purchase... Any advice on any of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
-Slight oil leak near the pan (just a drip every hour or so... very slight) From the area it looks to originating from i think i can tighten the bolts near the leak, ill take some pics and post them to see if anyone has had these issues before.
-power mirrors (some directionality not working... down works great, sides work a little, up is a big fail... have to manually push them to adjust)
-center armrest plastic broke (from what iv seen on here it was a common failure point)... gonna buy the metal replacement off ebay.
-ABS light is stuck on. I have done some reading on it and Im going to clean the sensors to see if that clears it up. the previous owner said that it came on a while back and he had it checked and reset only for it to come back on.
Again bear in mind that I just got this vehicle so its not neglect on my part.. i plan on taking good care of my 'splorer
