And I really like it. Not sure if I want a newer one as they look a bit boxy. The only problems I have had with mine is 2 recent trips to Ford for replacement of the rear clutches. 2nd time seems to have worked... so far. One other problem, I think plagues most Ford owners, is the radio display now fades in and out and sometimes goes away completely. Other than that, it is a 5.0l all-wheel drive, has a special trim package...Monterey, rides nice, gets around 15MPG average, and I just really like it. Mike

Hi- I was able to obtain an X-Plan PIN through my wife's employer and wondered if I was better going in with that or first trying for the best deal. I will be looking for a 2007 Explorer. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks

anyone have an idea what impact the 0% offer will have on negiating the price of a new Ford? usually an add will read 'Cash back OR 0% financing' but not both. Although I've seen Subaru affer pretty good discounts in addition to the 0% rate. |

Stickered for 39,650 purchaed for 33,400 which included 3,000 in rebates. Vehicle had Leather/Suede dual remote seats with the bumb warmers, Class III/IV tow package, Audiophile 6CD system(sub par in my opinion), Power 3rd row seating, Ultimate convience group, 18" Chrome/Plastic covered wheels, V8, Canopy and I think that was it. Basically we paid $200 over invoice brand new with 30 miles. Hope this helps someone. At this point though folks should consider a 2007 if your purchasing(as I did) unless you want/need the 0 percent financing over the rebates, reason being the 2007 EB model has a retail that is just under $2000 less than the 2006(negating much of the current rebates) and they have a few minor updates, so a 2006 has quite a bit more depreciation built into it already. The dealer invoice for 2007s though only dropped by $1000 so I'm sure the "deal" you get on a 2007 won't be quite the same. The wife and I usually keep our vehicles for 6-7 years so an extra year of depreciation can be made up by keeping the vehicle is good shape so we said what the heck and too the 3K in rebates which I think was a pretty decent deal overall. Good luck with your purchase.... R. |
