#33 of 212 Help! by terplaw Jun 18, 2004 (8:17 pm)
All,   I'm shopping for a '04 Explorer XLT w/ 3rd Seat & Rear A/C. Here's what I got back from one dealer: '04 Wedgewood Blue XLT 4.0 V6 w/ Graphite Leather Seat Running Boards Safety Canopy Rear A/C Roof Rail X Bars 3rd Row $27060 +TTL & 100 fee.   Any feedback would be welcomed.

You might want the V8, sure the v6 has better rated gas milage but you may have to give it more gas to get it moving. If you are not going to tow anything and don't have a heavy foot like me the V6 may be fine.

Replying to: dan1 (Jun 22, 2004 11:15 am) If the Explorar and the Mountaineer have the same ratings in gas mileage, then the v-6 gets 15 city and 19 highway. the v-8 gets 15 city and 19 highway. (just checked two different stickers - same car, different engines). however, i have heard from our service department that people are getting better gas mileage in the v-8's due to the weight of the vehicle. you have to remember, the more vehicle you have, the more power it takes to push it.

Replying to: drush9 (Jun 23, 2004 11:32 am) See I just assumed the V6 was rated higher I always try and get the biggest motor anyway. I think re-sale may be a consideration also, having just purchased our Explorer I noticed some difference in pricing between the V6 and V8 models.
#37 of 212 Suggestions Please by ajd Jul 16, 2004 (8:26 am)
Since Ford is now offering $5,000 cash back or 0% financing which is great news to hear on all 2004 Explorer (which means they are sitting on a load of Exporer that they have to get rid of). Now since all salesman are starting off at MSRP, how much of a percent of the MSRP price can you reasonable tell the saleman that the MSRP price should be discounted as the 2005's are ready to come in October. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !!
#39 of 212 Explorer Limited V. Mountaineer by wilkich Jul 20, 2004 (10:43 am)
Without going item by item, it seems to me that the Explorer Limited and the Mountaineer Luxary are comparably priced. But the Mercury has a nicer interior. Is there any reason to buy the Limited over the Mountaineer? Replies to this message: dan1 (Jul 21, 2004 2:12 pm)

Replying to: wilkich (Jul 20, 2004 10:43 am) Wilkich we went back and forth on that. We drove two new Mountaineers and a new Explorer before we bought a used 03 Exp. Limited. The only difference I could see was more sound proofing material and a little more upscale interior in the Merc. We liked the exterior of the Exp. better. What it really came down to is we came across the Explorer we bought before the Merc. I did a lot of price checking on used Merc's and Explorer's and I don't think you would pay any more for a compairable Merc.
#41 of 212 Good Deal on Eddie Bauer? by crw2 Jul 22, 2004 (5:00 am)
I got a quote of $29600, including $5400 in rebates from a dealer in Maryland for a V-6 Eddie Bauer Explorer. MSRP on the truck is $38345. The 'official' invoice he pulled out showed $34997, so I am right at that number. In fact he had the sale all written up, and the finance rate came in a little higher than I planned, so I walked, to go re-figure my numbers, after spending 2.5 hours at the dealership.
