Best car I ever owned
I bought mine with 150000 mile on it it had a 197000 miles on it when it was invloved in an acident. I only thing i had to replace (other than fuilds) was a battery. the biggest problem i had was a flat tire.
My favorite ride so far...
I started out with my mind set on an Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer, and the salesman showed me this, and I am happy that he did. I'm up to 128,000 miles and the only substancial repairs I've had is with the heater flap motor that just went out. The dealership wanted $800 to repair it, but I've gone with an individual for about half. I've enjoyed the comfortable drive, being in sales - I practically live in my car, it is also good for the long trips for vacation. I'm looking to replace it now, and am having a hard time finding something different with all the bells and whistles.
97 Mounty
Very happy with this truck so far. 101k and counting, I bought it used and was definately a good deal. The market is flooded with explorer's which hurts the Mounty's value as well, so you can get quite a deal.
190k miles and still going strong...
I purchased this vehicle new in 1996. It currently has 191,000 miles and my wife drives it to work. I am in sales and put a lot of miles on it initially. The only mechanical problem we have had is a cracked manifold at about 160,000 miles which would be expected. We have only performed standard and preventative maintenance. I wouldn't trade this type of car experience for anything.
Great Vehicle
Outstanding comfort, driver friendliness, with great curb appeal and fantastic reliability. Handles very well even with heavy trailer loads or on dirt roads. Lots of pep with V8 engine and excellent fuel economy for its size and weight averaging better than 17 mpg for over 11 years. Excellent access to trunk area with large storage capacity.
