#364 of 371 Looking to buy and need some serious help by boffins Mar 25, 2009 (8:44 am)
We're seriously considering purchasing a used 2006 EB 4x4 with about 34K miles on it. The car was previously a rental in Hawaii and then was sold at auction. A new buyer in WA purchased the car and only owned it for 8 mo before trading it in--he had brought it in to the dealer because the car was misfiring and stalling (at a cold start and on the highway). Supposedly faced with a $2000 repair, he traded it in for a compact (although who only buys a car for 8 mo?). The dealership made the repairs (and has given us copies of the work done), but we're wondering is this engine problem likely to be a long-term problem, or will it most likely be fine for the long term. If it matters, coil #4 was replaced as well as the cam phasers. It also looks like a couple of gaskets and the camshaft sensor were also replaced. Otherwise, this is the only time this vehicle has been in the shop since its first owner. The Ford warranty expired in January. This will be the only vehicle we have that we can fit all 4 kids (in carseats!) in so reliability is key. Thanks and we look forward to your advice!

Replying to: boffins (Mar 25, 2009 8:44 am) These Expeditions are great and dependable. If you keep up with the maintance it will out last you. If you are concerned about fuel it is a pig on gas. Although on the highway we get about 18-19 mpg but city can only average 13?. Still love it and I towed a 1997 Lincoln Towncar on a trailer at 65 mph 60 miles last week. Buy it!!
#366 of 371 2007 Expedition Limited 4x4? by txsun May 23, 2009 (9:04 am)
I found a locally owned Limited 4x4 with 24k miles on it for $30k. According to the pricing I'm seeing on Black Book and through NADA, the price looks too high.   The trade-in on it, for an Average rating, is around $24k. My thought is to offer them 5% over the trade-in price, which would be around $26k. That would allow them to make a little profit on the vehicle and still give me a fair price.   Any thoughts on this method? Also, is there any way to find out what the original owner received for their trade-in?   Thanks in advance.

Replying to: Dallavecchia (May 21, 2002 7:32 pm) I am looking at purchasing a limited 09 Expedition (doesnt really matter to me if it is an EL or not), does anyone know what dealers are offering right now? Or any purchasing stories? Replies to this message: tl68 (Jun 30, 2009 10:23 am)

Replying to: blackbear06 (Jun 28, 2009 7:04 am) I just bought a new 2009 EL Limited, paid $1800 under invoice. That includes $2600 in rebates.   I did a lot of shopping around and it was hard to push the dealers for a "great" price as there isn't a huge supply of these out there. At least not a lot of bare-bones Limited EL's like I wanted; you can find plenty with the luxury package and other extra junk, but they get pricey.
#369 of 371 End of Lease by wvgasguy Aug 14, 2009 (6:01 am)
Used prices seem to be unusually high. My residual on a 2 year lease of an EB 4x4 is 22,300. Current trade in is $26 to $27K. PPV is over $30K. I really didn't want to purchase this but I can't see letting Ford have this back at $22.3K I've already paid for that extra. I'll probably never lease again.   I hate to fool with it but I may buy it and then sell it.

#371 of 371 2010 King Ranch by jim10 Aug 31, 2009 (10:51 am)
Hi I am looking to purchase a King Ranch with the following options under the X-Plan. Would anyone have any comments on the best pricing and terms out there? In other words, is the X-Plan the best deal before the incentives? 2nd row bucket seats Daytime running lights Remote start 401A Rapid Spec package Retail is $56,650 X-Plan is $51,938   Finally, do you have any idea how long these take to build? I've been told 6-8 weeks. Many thanks!
