The easy to Drive automatic transmission, All power options, 4WD and more upgrade this Explorer. The XLT takes you up a notch, and it comes with a CD player, alloy wheels, lighted vanity mirrors and an outside temperature/compass display. Standard equipment also includes a Securi-Lock passive anti-theft system, a rear wiper/washer with defroster, running boards, roof rails, cruise control, illuminated entry, and power windows, door locks and mirrors. Exterior: The overall appearance of this SUV is very Nice! With the Classy Gold Metallic Clear Coat Exterior. This primary body color is accented with Dark Gray lower body panels and touches of Chrome. Chrome Accents are abundant. There are Factory Alloy Wheels, Front Outlined Chrome Grille, and Explorer XLT Badges. The front fog lights are surrounded by chrome too. This Explorer is riding on a set of Factory Alloy Wheels. The Wheels are Beautiful 15" Alloy Wheels. The tires are in Good Condition.. The p235/75/R15 tires just passed VA State Inspection that is valid until 4/13. The exterior styling of this SUV is Awesome! The lines are aggressive, the overall look is commanding without being overbearing and in my opinion this SUV is what an SUV should look like. The front headlights are large and have sharp crisp angles. There is also a front license plate bracket here. The side view looks really great with the factory tinted windows and black roof rails. The door handles are a coordinating gold color that adds to the overall appeal of this SUV. This Ford Explorer even looks good from the back. The hatch can open in one piece or in 2 pieces. You can either let the window stay open for a nice breeze or you can open the whole thing. This makes it super convenient to load and unload stuff and cargo. The rear tinted window has its own wiper washer and defrost. There is also a tow hitch and ball back here. This Explorer has black remote side view mirrors. There is a number pad on the driver side door. This is used to lock and unlock the vehicle without the key or the key fob. Press the combination once to unlock the driver door. Press the last digit of the 5 digit code again to unlock all the doors. Press the last two digits at the same time to lock the doors. Overall the Condition of this Ford is Great!! For a 2000 model is looks far better than what I would expect with these miles. I do notice some road rash on the front and a few small door dings and other flaws. The paint is still so nice and shiny these are hardly noticeable. However we just wanted to mention. If you have realistic expectations, you will be pleasantly surprised. Interior: The Interior of this SUV looks Really Good! Just like on the outside, the interior continues with a neutral color combination of gray and dark gray with black accents. The seats are done in High Quality cloth that holds up very well and the color is good at concealing stains. The front seats individual captain seats. These seats are very large and comfortable. The front seats have high backs for added comfort and stability and large cushions for added leg support. A large lower cushion increase leg support and thus makes for an SUV that is easier to drive. This full leg coverage reduces drive fatigue. The driver’s seat is fully Power. You will find complete power options including power height, tilt and front to back. The Power amenities include power windows, door locks, and mirrors. The windows have 1 touch power down driver side. There are also child lock protection for the passenger windows to help protect rear seat riders. All these controls are located at your fingertips on the driver side door. Notice you also have a large cubby on the bottom for storage on both front doors. Integrated into this door panel is a cup holder, way cool! One of the things I like about this Explorer is that the lower panel of the door is carpeted so that if you push it open with your foot, you don't damage anything. Being small, and normally trying to carry too many items at once, this is very helpful for me. The steering wheel is in surprisingly Good Condition. For the years and miles on this SUV, I would expect soooo much more wear. The wheel has the cruise controls on it for easy access. This is very convenient and increases safety as you are less distracted while driving. You also have the instrument panel with all the standard gauges. There is also an over head display showing the external temperature and driving direction. There is a garage door opener holder here too. The center console is loaded with features at your fingertips. You have an audio system that leaves nothing overlooked. There is an in dash CD player with cassette and a digital tuner system. There is 1 key and 1 keyless entry remote with this Explorer. The AC is Icy cold and the heat is cozy and warm. You will also notice that to the left on the center console are your 4WD controls. Having these controls at your fingertips makes any terrain super easy to navigate! There are also 2 sturdy built in cup holders, an ac adaptor and a smaller cubby. The padded armrest opens up for even more storage. The 2nd row of seats is very convenient. You can seat 3 adults here. This bench is a 40/60 split. With the pull of a lever, the entire seat folds. Meaning that the bottom cushion moves forward and the back goes down so there is a flat cargo surface. On the back of the center console here you have fan and audio controls and 2 pull down cup holders and another. The rear cargo area can be as big or as small as you want to make it. It is carpeted and has tie downs. There is also a roll up cargo cover to protect your belongings while being stowed back here. Something cool you will find back here is a power lock button. Makes things easier when loading or unloading. Overall the Interior Condition is really nice. It does not appear to have been abused. Whoever had this Ford before took very good care of it. I only notice very minimal wear on the driver seat bolster. Also, the driver door lock mechanism is not working properly. All of the other doors lock and unlock properly with the keyless entry fob and the power door lock button. Again, for the age and miles on this Explorer, I would expect more wear. Overall the interior looks Fantastic!! Under the Hood: This 2000 Ford Explorer has the ultimate combination. With a 239 Horsepower 4.0L V6 engine you never want for power and the 4WD lets you go wherever you want. The engine is powerful and operates exactly as it should. The transmission shifts smoothly and also operates exactly as it should. There is an aftermarket tow package so you can take what you want with you when you go. This SUV has no excuses at all. The steering is easy and the brakes are smooth with no pulsating. One thing I do notice is that the hydraulic struts do not hold the hood open. They will probably need replaced. Driving Impressions: I love driving it because it is not too big to park or maneuver, yet big enough to get everything in it that I need. It has a commanding view of the road which makes it easy to drive. The Car fax shows 2 owner. This model Explorer is highly appealing and continues to be one of the most popular SUVs on the market.

With love overhead and high volume, our cars are priced less than most private sellers and normally only a few hundred dollars over our cost. We can provide quality cars at a low cost. Look at Wal-Mart, high volume companies save you money. 2. In VA, all of our running vehicles have to be State Safety Inspected. Virginia has one of the most strict inspection processes. An independent shop inspects such components as Lights, Suspension, Brakes, Tires, Windshield, and More! We usually plan on spending at least $600 per car to get them to pass state inspection. So, you have piece of mind that this inspection has been done recently. 3. As a dealer, you never have to wait to legally drive and register your car. Even if there is a bank payoff or title, we can facilitate an easy exchange and provide any necessary temporary tags and accompanying paperwork so you can drive away at the time of pick up. (Please note, not all cars qualify for temporary tags if we have the original title at time of transfer. 4. Safety! As a business, you have the added security and confidence that your safety is maintained at the time of pick up. No driving up to a stranger's house, our transactions take place at a licensed dealership. 5. Information available about each car we sell! We are professionals with years of experience. We are not dumping any unwanted junk out of our back yard on ebay. We spend hours taking detailed photos, including specific information about each car, and adding our own impressions of how a car performs. We do not have emotional attachments to these cars and try to be as honest as possible about the overall condition. 6. On, ebay you have the confidence that you are shopping with a state licensed, bonded and insured company. We cannot scam and run eBay frauds the way private sellers could. Plus, look at our years ebay history. We want to talk about a couple of items. We are Wholesale Dealers. We buy our cars Directly from New Car Dealers or Private Sellers, Not Auto Auctions. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that we sell quality cars. When they are traded in, someone at the new car dealer drives the car. When we buy the car, someone from our dealership drives the car. If a car has a problem we either fix it or disclose it. We have no intention or knowledge of ever selling a car with a problem. However, all cars break. I wish I could, but I cannot predict when a car will break. We do our best to represent the vehicle fairly, however, we are human and do make mistakes. Any minor imperfections consistent with age are not reasons for refusal of delivery/pick up or negotiation. We sell cars As Is, and cannot warranty any vehicles we sell so please take careful consideration when bidding on or buying now these cars. Whenever we sell a car on ebay, we always seem to be asked how we think the car would function on a long drive home from pick up. I think this Explorer would make any drive home. We have had no issues with it at all. When it was traded in the previous owners drove it 2 hours to come by a new used vehicle. We are wholesale dealers, please do not ask us to arrange, or compensate for delivery, shipping, transportation, or other related expenses. Please note that we reserve the right to cancel bids from zero or negative history bidders. If you have no or negative history, you Must contact us prior to bidding.
