[skoal_mint]

iv got a 97 explorer sport and im thinking of selling it because i need a truck more then anything

i really want to find a person who would do a trade but its not looking that way.so now i think i got to sell it then buy a truck.

what would you guys price my truck at or the price for a explorer sport..

its in excelent con. no scraches,dents...i did paint the wheel wells because paint was chipping...the only thing that needs a fixing is the cv shafts

i bought it from my mechanic for 10 000, it has 140 000k on it.

i tried looking for sites to get a average price but im canadian and kellys blue book is only for the US

Let's put it this way, the going rate for loaded Sports (SOHC engine etc.), 2000 model year with much lower km on it was between $9000-$10,000 when I was in the market back in November. Your '97 looks pretty entry level (doesn't have the Sport appearance package which had the step bars, 16" wheels and other toys). I would guess it's worth $4,000-$5,000 CAD tops. The market for SUVs isn't as hot as it once was with high gas prices.

Try Autotrader.ca. I did a quick search and found more loaded Explorers for around this price. Keep in mind, those asking prices always get dickered downwards. I'd ask $5,000 and jump at any reasonable offer you get as close to that. If someone offers $5,000. Take the money and run.

$6500 is a LOT for that Explorer. As mentioned, that Ex is entry level. You shouldn't factor in stereo either. Most buyers won't put a premium on aftermarket stereo either. In any event, good luck.
