Ford Explorer Usados en Venta en St. Louis, MO

Previously owning a Ford Edge, when it came time for another car, Ford was first on our list to test drive. We love that it has three rows and can fit my daughter's friends in the car with us. It has a V6 engine so has great pick up and drives more like a truck than most other SUVs we test drove. All of the seats fold down flat so we can transport large items, and the tow package insures if we have to pull a trailer, we can. On top of performance, the technology inside is excellent and keeps up with our demand by offering Bluetooth to stream music, connecting our phone, and the kids being able to watch DVDs in the car.

The '99 Ford Explorer XLT is a great looking SUV. I particularly like the small amount of chrome trim. The body is solid, and at almost 20 years old, that's saying something! There is no rust and only a couple minor cosmetic issues. My only complaint is the same complaint that I've had with every Ford made in the late '90s—the electronics always go. The windows are slow. Based on experience with other Ford vehicles in this age group, they will probably stop working soon. The rubbery material that the cruise control buttons are made out of seemed to melt in the summer heat, came apart in chunks, and are no longer functional. The rear wiper doesn't work. The speakers on the left side of the car go in and out. So there are numerous electrical issues. But overall, it has been a reliable truck with only a few mechanical issues. It's a tight squeeze with two car seats in the back, but there is plenty of room in the rear for all the gear that goes with being a parent!

I pretty much enjoyed owning this vehicle. I found that it was very economical and dependable for the price. I feel like this car was a good bang for the buck. You can't really go wrong with a car like this.
