READ CAREFULLY! NO RESERVE HIGHEST BIDDER TAKES TRUCK: IMMEDIATE DEPOSIT REQUIRED AT END OF AUCTION. Up for sale with NO RESERVE is this 1997 FORD EXPLORER Limited 4X4 SUV! The truck runs and drives excellent, all electronics work 100% has now 152,012 miles, has many options; CD player sun/moon roof. alloy rims. heated seats, heated mirrors, leather interior, cruise control power windows, power locks, 6 CD changer running boards and complete automated on board diagnostics computer. It also features Air assist rear suspension (works excellent) 4X4 automatic options which also works excellent. The engine and transmission are strong and are in excellent shape the brakes are new all around, the tires look decent. The only issue with this truck that i have found is the Notorious "timing chain guide" noise. The plastic guides that keep the timing chain in alignment and with tension have begun to make noise. The truck will start right up and drive excellent, shifts smooth 4x4 engages perfectly but engine guides make noise. On some occasions the noise will completely go away and sometimes it will be audible (can hear it). This truck does not appear to have any serious rust issues just wear and tear expected from a truck of its age. I have been putting 50 miles a day on this truck and have had no serious issues. The ABS light is on due to a sensor (front left wheel) the check engine light is off and passed inspection. I am listing this truck with NO RESERVE It will need some work and a little love to make it perfect. This is an excellent winter driver (great in snow) OR a great project truck (fix yourself). The A/C does not appear to be working HEAT works excellent. CD player and stereo work great all window and switches work great, The hood latch works but does not fully lock, (courtesy of deer). I am listing this car on behalf of the owner who purchased it in September 2005 with 80K miles. the truck has had oil changes done accordingly. all sales are final AS IS, come see for yourself if you'd like. I am not a mechanic however truck looks good aside from noise, this truck was checked by a mechanic and inspected. Call me with questions (845) 987 9267.
