If you could sell a 3rd gen for $9500 I wouldn't even have mine right now lol. But good luck.
 






Looks nice man, but seems to me $5000 is a little steep for a 2nd gen. Talk him down ;-)

Come to the solid axle side!

Definitely would talk him down quite a bit. Its listed way to high for my liking, but I did talk down the seller of my Explorer $3000 :D

Mine blue books at $10500 and thats about the going price here in Utah.
 












Say it aint so.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do or decide to get Nate. :thumbsup:
 












You're welcome. Hopefully you will keep us posted on whatever you are building.
 






Well if its an Explorer or Ranger, you'll find a registry here in this subforum.
If its a Jeep, I'll find somewhere for a registry on here...
 






Well I've bought a vehicle now. A 2001 Ford Explorer XLT with a V8.

And the place I left her :( I'll miss her, especially if I see her around town.

She's at Avis Car Sales in Ogden if anyone would like to rescue her and love her. :)
 






I have a good update for you all....
So......















I found it for sale....














And its a little more beat up by a dent or two. Easy fix.... Anyway... The guy is interested in trading for my Jeep. So there is a chance that I will own this again.

It now has 102,000 miles. The key cylinder in the door doesn't work anymore. The rear left quarter has two nice dents in it. And the interior has a few burn holes from cigarettes... Advance Trac light is on, a TPMS sensor is broken, and the 4x4 high light flashes (read that it is generally due to a ground issue).
I have two options. Keep my Jeep and build it, higher cost. Or to fix my old Explorer back to pre sale condition which would be around $1000

I like the looks of your old Ex and love Explorers, but you would be better off keeping the jeep, it has better capabilities that you like unless you plan on doing a sas or two on the Explorer...plus who knows what else may come up on the Explorer that the guy is neglecting to tell you..
 






I would only the trade if you are serious about building up the explorer; ie, BTF uppers, Rancho quicklifts with spacers or fox coilovers, rear locker or truetracs front and rear, and rocksliders. Otherwise I will berate you endlessly when you complain about it not being good off-road :).
