Thinking bout '02 Ex eddie bauer version - i know

[yaajer]

I need advice on this car here in the Twin Cities: http://crosstownauto.net/newandused...815-8589-44242c3871bb/2002-Ford-Explorer.aspx

What do is fair offer? 4k?

Also, comparing 2wd vs 4wd, are there still the same transmission issues? Anything else to look at? Anyone know where I might find the Oasis report for VIN: 1FMDU64W92ZC53903

Great forum, looking to get more involved.

so your up north, these things don't do very well in the snow in 2wd. . . usually the 2wd are southern trucks, ie no snow.
Same transmission. Any delay in shifting walk.
listen very carefully for sounds in the front/rear like tire noise, fixable.
rear glass panel look for hairline cracks, plastic piece.
Many '02 have not had a problem, others have had many problems with their '02.
can't comment on price i'm not in the market.

oh read that other thread on buying an '02

thats a nice eddie

That is a nice looking eddie. I would offer 4 but pay no more than 4500. 2wd is a huge turn off for me and If you live in a snowy area I dont see it selling any time soon.

Thanks, and sorry for duplicate thread.

That is a nice truck, but aside from everything else, you'll never get anything for it if you try to sell. 2WD up in the north has ZERO resale. I had a 2WD sport that I bought new in MI and couldn't even give it away. I'd never buy a 2WD again up north, even if I didn't use it- specifically for the resale argument.
