- 2014 Ford Explorer Ltd
Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. Some might be interested to hear about my new purchase in South Korea. Myself, I am Canadian but work in Korea and up until the new FTA between Korea and USA i couldnt purchase any american cars unless i wanted to dish out massive import fees.
I bought a new 2013 Ford Explorer (Oct 2013) from Ford Korea as of today. The 2014 models have not shipped to Korea yet so i was offered the 2013.10 model at a nice discount. I could have ordered a 2014 but would have to wait over 3 months. So to my surprise i got, what i think more options on the limited model. I could be wrong but here is what i was given.
Sale price for 2013 Ford Explorer Limited model in korean dollars is 53,700,000 won which in US is 49,993.00. I was given a discount of 3,700.00 US and also was given free tinting and a black box (video camera recorder w LCD display) with two channels, front and back. I was also given a 500.00 discount from the finance company because i put down half of the value of the car in cash.
There are only 2 models to choose from in korea. The XLT ecoboost or the Limited with AWD and the 302A package. The limited with 302A package also includes dual sunroof, 20' polished aluminum wheels, roof rack cross bars, smokers kit with lighting element, adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake.
It takes 4 days to arrive because they already have some in stock at the port and freight is 175.00
In addition I am ordering the EGR Integrated running boards from Carid.com
Thas pretty much it
Might get some red caliper covers because ive chosen oxford white as the paint color.
