Used 1999 Ford Explorer for Sale

I like that it is still running great and it is 16 years old. I love that it's got plenty of power. It does great driving. I like that it sets up higher for me to see out. I really needed it this past winter. Even though it's not a 4x4, I was able to get over the ice and snow pretty good. This is my backup vehicle for when I have inclement weather and recreational activities, or if I have to haul dirty pets.

The car was purchased used at five years old and had around 125K miles on it. It now has just over 235K and is still a good runner. The four-wheel drive is excellent for snowy Midwest winters, and the size is perfect for hauling stuff for camping or gardening. It has never let me down. Over the years I have had minimal maintenance: new brakes a couple years ago, ball joints about six years ago, but nothing major you wouldn't expect. The running boards are starting to rust off now, but it has been kept outside for all of its life.

This is my first car I have ever had so I like lots of things about it but I recognize that it is not a perfect vehicle. It is very sturdy as I have already accumulated over 125k miles on the car and it has only every broken down once. It needs parts replaced here and there but overall it works great for what I need. I simply drive to and from school and it gets the job done. It doesn't have the best miles per gallon but it does have fairly decent miles per gallon, so it is somewhere in the middle of the pact. It is also very durable to the weather and seasons as it is a four wheel drive car. So when you go into snow or rainy weather you can use four wheel drive when necessary. The car also is spacious and can hold up to five people. Two in the front and three in the back. The airbag cannot be turned off so be careful about children being in the front seat of the car. On to storage the car has a lot of trunk space (and if needed you can use the back seat as an extra area to hold cargo). The trunk can also open in two ways, so if you don't want to open it fully (maybe something might fall out) you can simply just open the top and remove or place your items through there. The car is a Ford though so it is not the highest performing vehicle and will not be the fastest if that's what you are looking for. But if you simply want a car that is stable and will get you from point A to B this is your car.
