I need help. A dealer in my area is selling used 2006 Ford explorer XLT with 18000 miles on it. Only option on vehicle is 6 CD changer. The vehicle looks brand new except for a few minor stains on rear carpeting. It seems this vehicle was purchased from a rental company. Dealer is asking for $18000. Is this a good price? Thank you for a quick response.

Does anybody know how well the Mountaineer leases? I am interested in leasing one with leather - no nav or dvd extras, for 3 years with only inceptios out of pocket. Any idea of the monthly? I heard they don't have good resale value, and would therefore not lease well. Any info would be appreciated. |

Replying to: bkrentzman (Nov 15, 2006 2:45 pm) the '05's earlier this year were going for $19,500 and $21,500 respectively - price is fixed. I haven't seen the '06 rentals show up yet. I'm guessing the 4x4 rentals don't rack up much milege in the summer time. you can search hertzcarsales.com inventory for your area on-line. |

I see adds in the Bay Area for '06 Explorers at $8,000 off MSRP. If it covers all '06 Explorers and doesn't require that I serve in the armed forces, having graduated from college this year and have a contracters license, I'd be really interesting to see if I can find one that suits me. Do the math before you get there. |

There does not seem to be too much activity on this message thread, but I figured I would chime in with my recent purchase experience. Over the holiday weekend I purchased a new, leftover 2006 Mercury Mountaineer Premier AWD V8. My wife and I had been looking at some lightly used '06 Ford Explorer Limiteds and the new Mountaineer actually ended up being less expensive than a used Ford. Our transaction was complicated by the trade-in of our 2002 Ford Explorer XLT V8 with 92,000 miles, but suffice to say, it was pretty straightforward to get the dealer to go about $6000 below invoice with all of the available rebates. Since we plan to keep this SUV for 5 or 6 years, we chose to go with the 0% financing for 60 months so we gave back $4000 in rebates but we were still well below invoice with a fair value on our trade. Anyone considering a loaded Ford Explorer should really evaluate the Mercury Mountaineer. Many of the options that are still optional on the Explorer Eddie Bauer or Limited are standard on the Mountaineer Premier - back-up sensor and power fold third row seat among them. Happy New Year!
