Used Ford Explorer Sport for Sale

This vehicle has been one of my all time favorite vehicles I've owned. It is a midsize SUV, has plenty of room for hauling around what you need while still getting great MPG (usually 25mpg). While many SUVs feel top heavy and unstable during travel, the Ford Explorer Sport is tight and easy to drive. It has a comfortable interior, great get up and go when you need it (6 cylinder) and is always one of the best looking vehicles in the lot! The A/C keeps the vehicle cool all the way to the back and the rear seats lay flat to give even more options for hauling etc.

I purchased this vehicle used from my regular mechanic, so I knew it was a solid buy. It had a new, replacement transmission, which was a problem for this model year. For a ten year old vehicle, it was very clean with no rust and only minor plastic fading. Since it was pre-owned, it did have some stickers that were not removed. It also had very low miles for it's age, under 80,000 miles. It is roomy, with a third row seat you can fold down for extra storage. It also has the NSX sport package with running boards, 18" alloy wheels, a roof rack, extra trim and a premium sound system. It has a 4'3 liter V6 engine and automatic 4 wheel drive. It came with new tires, suited for on or off road use. They are a little noisy, but no more than a normal truck. It also has some interior noise, to be expected for an SUV. Although other reviews report engine problems, I have had none to date. Many of the parts the mechanic replaced before sale have a lifetime warranty, such as the brakes. Even though it is over 10 years old, when detailed, it still looks good. I get compliments on it often. Even though I came from a long line of GM purchases, I can't complain about it at all. It is not very fuel efficient, as could be expected for a mid-sized SUV. The pluses outweigh the drawback by a wide margin, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid used vehicle in this class.

I like that it's the first SUV that I've owned. I feel more powerful when driving it. It has a good amount of space in the back so I feel like I don't have to worry about fitting anything anymore. I bought it used for a price that assumed it was in relatively good condition, but shortly after buying, it required several expensive repairs such as a fuel leak fix. Since I got the fixes done, it has been a solid vehicle that I really enjoy driving. I am hoping it fairs a bit better in winter driving than my previous cars. Overall, I'm happy with my vehicle.
