#182 of 219 2006 Ford Explorer XLT by bigedfrombk Oct 26, 2006 (4:45 pm)
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. Replies to this message: bkrentzman (Nov 15, 2006 1:45 pm) aspesisteve (Nov 16, 2006 9:07 pm)
#183 of 219 Leasing a Mountaineer by susanw6 Oct 31, 2006 (11:33 am)
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: bigedfrombk (Oct 26, 2006 4:45 pm) I just bought a 2006 explorer XLT that was a rental with 16000 miles from a ford dealer in Tampa. No leather . cargo cover mats and step bars for $18,500 plus dealer fee I had to pay. It looks brand new except a stain on the very rear carpet. At the time it was a great deal. 6 weeks ago. I love it . It is my first suv. I drive it more than my 2006 525 bmw. Replies to this message: aspesisteve (Nov 16, 2006 9:07 pm)

Replying to: bkrentzman (Nov 15, 2006 1:45 pm) in my area (Northern Calif.), Hertz sells one year old Explorers when they hit around 25k miles. There are two types, both 4x4. One is the XLT with running boards, tow package and cloth seats the other adds leather and a sun roof.   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.
#186 of 219 $8000 off MSRP by aspesisteve Nov 27, 2006 (8:25 pm)
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.
#187 of 219 Year End Purchase by gf2020 Jan 02, 2007 (9:47 am)
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!
