THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A DAILY DRIVER AND VERY DEPENDABLE. I PURCHASED A NEW F-150 3 MONTHS AGO AND CAN'T STAND TO SEE IT SIT. I START IT ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK AND RUN IT FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR JUST TO KEEP THE ENGINE LUBED UP. IT NEEDS TIRES IMMEDIATELY, AND THE LAST TIME I STARTED IT, I NOTICED THE WATER PUMP HAS A LEAK, SO IT WILL NEED REPLACED SOON, PROBABLY FROM SITTING AND GASKETS DRYING OUT. I AM SETTING THE RESERVE PRICE WITH TIRES AND WATER PUMP IN MIND. IF I REPLACE THEM BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION I WILL RAISE RESERVE. THE REASON I BOUGHT THE F-150 WAS BECAUSE I BOUGHT A LARGE BOAT ON EBAY AND I REFUSE TO ABUSE THE EXPLORER BY PULLING IT. BUT NOW THAT I HAVE THE NEW TRUCK THE EXPLORER IS JUST SITTING BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR IT. A CLEAN CAR FOR ITS AGE AND HAS ALL THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE AT THE TIME, INCLUDING REAR AC. MOST OF THE TIME THAT I OWNED IT SINCE 2004, THE REAR SEATS WERE FOLDED DOWN, SO THEY SHOW NO WEAR. THE FRONT IS IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE AND THE CARGO AREA IS AS WELL. SOME IDIOT HIT AND RUN THE DRIVERS DOOR AT MY WORK PLACE, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS, THAT DAMAGE IS SO MINIMAL THAT YOU CAN GET BY WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING FOR A WHILE. I PUT A COAT OF PRIMER AND A COAT OF SPRAY PAINT ON IT TO KEEP IT FROM RUSTING UNTIL I HAD TIME TO DEAL WITH IT... OBVIOUSLY I NEVER GOT THE TIME TO DEAL WITH IT. THE GADGETS ALL WORK, BUT THE LEATHERETTE COVER OVER THE SWITCHES (ON THE STEERING WHEEL) HAS CRACKED AND SOME PIECES HAVE COME OUT (ALSO VISIBLE IN PICS), BUT THE SWITCHES STILL OPERATE PROPERLY. PLEASE EMAIL IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR WANT AN APPT TO DRIVE OR LOOK AT HER. GREAT CAR, BUT NEEDS SOMEONE THAT WILL DRIVE HER.
