i have a 97 ford explorer located in Las Vegas. runs like a champ. its a 4.0 OHV non 4x4 model. chassis has 155k miles and the rebuilt motor has about 1.5k miles. at the moment i get 22-25 mpg depending on if im on the highway or street ofcourse..

the good.
rebuilt top end - all the heads and gaskets were reinforced
valve job - while the heads where off
new coil pack
brand new battery
new radiator - upper and lower hoses
new heater hoses
tranny flush
oil change and flush
new brake job - all around, new pads and rotors
tune up - sparks, wires, air filter, fuel filter, egr valve, pcv valve and recharged the ac unit.
power everything - seats, mirrors, and windows
clean interior - no stains or tears in seats or carpet
clean exterior - no dents, body is straight as shit.
tires - still have alot of meat on them

the bad.
needs abs sensors - by all means this not mean the car doesnt brake. it brakes beautifully but the abs is turned off untill it gets fixed. only the fronts.
arm rest center peice - the part where you rest your elbow. the coating around the foam is torn but i fashioned one. its ghetto but it does the job. looks sexy too if you ask me.
very very minute scratches - exterior door handles

i called the dealer and they quoted me for 300 bucks for both abs sensors and console with arm rest.

this truck is just not practical for my lifestyle at the moment even though i love it to death thats why im hoping that the next person that has this truck will be just as satisfied with it as i have over the time ive spend with it. ive put around 6k in the car and thats not including the price of the vehicle it self as i was going to keep it as a daily driver and use it as a tow truck for events and such. and i still will if it comes down to it.

im willing to trade for an 91-94 s13 or 95-98 s14 stock or modded. if stock i will be expecting some sort of reimbursment for the remainder of the price that we happen to work out. to be honest if you have a good offer for me i will entertain it. please dont waste my time with bullshit and lowballing thats not what im here for. if your interested in purchasing with cash im looking at 6,000 obo.

you can contact me through pm through this site...or shoot me an email to [email protected]

thanks.
