Need opinions on this vehicle
2000 Ford Explorer XLT V6 178K miles
ABS light doesn't go out may need converter but not certain Brakes are good has a little rust on the rear fender but nothing really bad and the paint has oxidation Muffler recently replaced. Still waiting for answers regarding if the engine or tranny have ever been overhauled. This is mostly highway miles to Kentucky and back. They are asking 1500 |

Wow, what are you wanting it for Guru?
That is a lot of miles. I wouldn't be too concerned about the ABS light, but the converter, tranny questions are serious. Kentucky and back? Running moonshine? |

We need something cheap for the kid since he killed the last car. I can't find shit under 3000 that doesn't have over 120k as it is.

I'm looking for a cheap reliable cash car so I can get rid of my 2009 Lexus. He said even pieces of shit are expensive now because it's a seller's market because of the tax refunds coming in. |

The ABS light usually means it needs brake fluid. At least it has on all my vehicles.

I would never buy an Explorer. I've heard way too many bad things about them. JMO.

Abs light is either a hub bearing or the sensor in the rear diff, or a broken wire. Put some limited slip additive in the Trans. Might fix the shudder Posted via Mobile Device |
