THIS IS A SUPER NICE TRUCK FOR THE NEXT OWNER! ITS HARD TO GET ACROSS WITH TYPE BUT THIS TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVES REMARKABLY WELL FOR A 98 TRUCK! I MEAN A REALLY GREAT RUNNING, NICE RIDING TRUCK! NO RUNNING OR DRIVABILITY ISSUES AT ALL! IT ALSO HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR ITS YEAR, AT THE INDUSTRY STANDARD THIS TRUCK WOULD HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 70K MILES! SO AT 110K THIS TRUCK IS VERY LOW MILEAGE! THE CARFAX SHOWS SOME VERY THOROUGH MAINTENANCE AND EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T CALL FOR IT, THE OWNER EVEN DID THE TIMING CHAIN AT 60K! ALTHOUGH THE CARFAX SHOWS AN ACCIDENT REPORT IN 2000 IT HAS 100% FACTORY PAINT SO IT WAS CLEARLY VERY MINOR! THE LAST OWNER ALSO HAS OWNED IT FOR THE PAST 8 PLUS YEARS! MECHANICALLY THIS ONE SEEMS TO BE TURN KEY, READY TO ROLL! THE MOTOR RUNS STRONG AND SMOOTH, TRANNY SHIFTS PERFECT, 4X4 WORKS PERFECT, IT HAS NO SERVICE LIGHTS ON, NO FLUID OR EXHAUST LEAKS, ALL THE OPTIONS SEEM TO WORK WELL INCLUDING ICE COLD A/C, AND IT GOES DOWN THE ROAD FREE OF ANY MAJOR RATTLES, SHAKES OR VIBRATIONS! I WAS VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED HOW WELL THIS EXPLORER RAN AND DROVE WHEN I PICKED IT UP! CERTAINLY A WELL ABOVE AVERAGE TRUCK FOR A 98 AS FAR AS THE RUNNING/DRIVABILITY OF IT! JUST A PERFECT RUNNING, NICE RIDING TRUCK, WITH NO DRIVABILITY ISSUES! THE EXTERIOR IS 2 TONE FIRE RED WITH SILVER FLARES AND LOWERS AND IT SHOWS REALLY WELL! VERY SHARP WITH THE CHROME WHEELS, WHITE LETTER TIRES, TINTED GLASS, GORGEOUS COLOR COMBINATION, GREAT BODY STYLE AND THE FANTASTIC OVERALL CONDITION! THE BODY IS FREE OF ANY LARGE DENTS, SCRATCHES OR IMPERFECTIONS, AND THE FINISH HAS A GREAT SHINE! A SUPER NICE LOOKING TRUCK! WE ALWAYS DO OUR BEST TO DISCLOSE ANY "NOTEWORTHY" IMPERFECTIONS, AS WE WILL HERE: YOU CAN SEE RIGHT UNDER BOTH DOORS, IN THE MIDDLE AREA, FOR ABOUT 3 INCHES, IT HAS SOME DECAY THERE. WE DID BRING IT TO HAVE THAT PATCHED UP, INEXPENSIVELY BUT PROFESSIONALLY, BUT I WANTED TO PICTURE IT AS IT WAS, SO YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SEE IT GONE UPON PICKUP! THATS THE ONLY REAL IMPERFECTION ON THIS ENTIRE EXTERIOR! OTHERWISE NOTHING MORE THEN A MINOR DING, LIGHT SCRATCH, SMALL TOUCH UP, NOTHING THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR THE YEAR AND MILES! A REALLY CLEAN BODY OVERALL! ITS 100% FACTORY PAINT! OVERALL THIS TRUCK IS VERY SOLID, VERY CLEAN, AND VERY SHARP LOOKING! THE INTERIOR IS GRAY CLOTH WHICH ALSO SHOWS VERY WELL! I MEAN VERY, VERY CLEAN FOR A 98 TRUCK! THE CLOTH IS FREE OF ANY RIPS, TEARS, BURNS, CRACKING AND IT SHOWS NO HEAVY WEAR! REALLY GREAT SHAPE FOR A 12 YEAR OLD TRUCK! AFTER ALL ONLY 110K! THE CARPET, DOOR PANELS, DASH, ETC.. ARE ALL IN GOOD CONDITION AS WELL! THIS IS A SPORT SO IT HAS POWER WINDOWS, LOCKS, MIRRORS, TILT, CRUISE, A/C, AM/FM CD PLAYER, DELAYED WIPERS, AND MORE! (NO SUNROOF AS PUT IN THE OPTIONS ABOVE AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAYS VIN READER) A COMMON ERROR! THE INTERIOR OF THIS TRUCK IS CERTAINLY WELL ABOVE AVERAGE! ITS VERY CLEAN! HAVING HAD ONLY 1 OWNER FOR THE PAST 8+ YEARS, ALONG WITH THE OVERALL SOLID BODY, THE SPOTLESS INTERIOR, THE FANTASTIC RUNNING/DRIVING CONDITION, AND MOST OF ALL HAVING ONLY 110K MILES, THIS WILL BE A GREAT, INEXPENSIVE, LOW MILEAGE SUV FOR THE NEXT OWNER FOR MANY MORE GOOD YEARS AND MILES OF SERVICE! PLEASE READ BELOW, AS WELL AS MY PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS (PAYMENT TAB IN DESCRIPTION BOX ABOVE) BEFORE BIDDING! ATTN: WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE COUNTING ON OUR PICTURES AND OUR VERBAL DESCRIPTION OF THIS VEHICLE, AS IT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO GO ON, AND WE PROMISE TO DO OUR BEST NOT ONLY TO DESCRIBE THE POSITIVES OF THIS ITEM, BUT ALSO TO DISCLOSE ANY MECHANICAL DEFECTS THAT WE FIND ON OUR INSPECTION/TEST DRIVE (WHICH WILL BE DESCRIBED NEXT), AS WELL AS ANY "NOTEWORTHY", OUT OF THE ORDINARY COSMETIC IMPERFECTIONS AS WELL! PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT A "NOTEWORTHY IMPERFECTION IS DIFFERENT ON ALL VEHICLES, AND YOU MUST HAVE REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS, THAT COINCIDE WITH THE YEAR AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE YOU BUY! A NOTEWORTHY IMPERFECTION IS A BLEMISH THAT IS MORE THEN YOU WOULD EXPECT TO FIND ON A COMPARABLE VEHICLE! DESCRIBING NOTEWORTHY IMPERFECTIONS ON A 2009 BMW WITH 12K MILES, IS MUCH DIFFERENT THEN A NOTEWORTHY IMPERFECTION ON A 15 YEAR OLD PICKUP TRUCK WITH 165K MILES! SO WHILE WE DO OUR BEST TO DISCLOSE ANY "NOTEWORTHY" IMPERFECTIONS OR DEFECTS, WE ASK YOU TO HAVE REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS THAT COINCIDE WITH THE VEHICLE YOU ARE BIDDING ON! ALSO A NOTEWORTHY MECHANICAL DEFECT ON A 10 YEAR OLD, 100K MILE VEHICLE IS NOT A SUNVISOR THAT DOES NOT CLICK IN PLACE CORRECTLY, OR A RADIO PRE-SET BUTTON THAT DOES NOT LIGHT UP AT NIGHT, WHILE A POWER WINDOW THAT DOES NOT WORK OR AN A/C UNIT THAT IS IN-OP WOULD BE A "NOTEWORTHY" DEFECT! SO AGAIN, PLEASE HAVE REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS, REALIZING THAT YOUR VEHICLE MAY HAVE ITS SMALL SIGNATURE ISSUES, AS WOULD A SIMILAR VEHICLE OF THE SAME YEAR AND MILEAGE! THESE VEHICLES ARE SOLD IN A 3 DAY, NO RESERVE FORMAT, ALWAYS SELLING FOR WHOLESALE OR BELOW PRICES, SAVING YOU THOU$AND$ OF DOLLARS IN MOST CASES! THE INSPECTION THESE VEHICLES RECEIVE IS: A VISUAL INSPECTION LOOKING FOR LARGE IMPERFECTIONS COSMETICALLY ON THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR< A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE MOTOR FOR FLUID LEAKS OR OTHER ISSUES THAT COULD BE SEEN BY THE EYE! WE DO NOT LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND UNDER NEATH THEM OR GO AROUND THEM WITH A PAINT METER GIVING YOU THE THICKNESS AND THE CONSISTENCY OF THE PAINT ON EACH PANEL! WE DO COMPLETE A THOROUGH WALK AROUND SO WE COULD DISCLOSE ANY RUST OR LARGER THEN NORMAL IMPERFECTION, THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR THE YEAR AND MILEAGE! THEY THEN GET A 20 TO 30 MINUTE TEST DRIVE, BY A 18 YEAR VETERAN IN THIS BUSINESS, WHO AGAIN WOULD DISCLOSE ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES OF SUBSTANCE, SUCH AS IN-OP WINDOWS OR A/C, MAJOR BRAKE PULSATION, ETC, ETC...! AGAIN, WE DO NOT PUT THEM ON A LIFT AND PULL ALL THE TIRES OFF AND INSPECT EVERY PART IN THE CAR! SO WHILE WE WILL DISCLOSE ANY DEFECTS WE FIND ON THE ABOVE MENTIONED INSPECTION, WE ARE NOT SAYING THAT THE ITEM HAS ALL NEW PARTS AND NEEDS NOTHING, WE ARE ONLY STATING THAT WE FOUND NO FLUID LEAKS, OR MECHANICAL DEFECTS, THAT WERE NOTICEABLE TO US! SO AGAIN, WE STRIVE TO GIVE YOU AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION, BUT PLEASE YOU ALSO HAVE TO KEEP REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS THAT WOULD GO ALONG WITH ANY SIMILAR VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF THE DESCRIPTION! LASTLY, PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE NOT FULLY PREPARED TO COMPLETE THIS TRANSACTION! PLEASE CHECK INTO THE SHIPPING COST, YOUR FINANCES, SPEAK WITH YOU SIGNIFICANT OTHER IF NEEDED, AND IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO, OR IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ABIDE BY THEM! THIS IS HOW WE FEED OUR CHILDREN AND PAY OUR BILLS, IT IS NOT A SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT TO BID AND THEN BACK OUT! IT IS TIME CONSUMING FOR US, IT IS COSTLY TO US, AND IT IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE NOT A FAIR AND STANDUP WAY TO DO BUSINESS, AND I WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR ABILITY TO FEED YOUR CHILDREN, SO PLEASE HAVE THE SAME RESPECT! IF YOU ARE A NEW MEMBER WITH 0 FEEDBACK I WILL NEED A CONTACT # FOR YOU IF YOU ARE HIGH BIDDER ON MY ITEM JUST SO WE CAN TOUCH BASE! I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU WHETHER YOU HAVE 0 FEEDBACKS OR 1000, JUST A POLICY I HAD TO PUT IN PLACE AFTER MANY NO PAYS FROM NEW, 0 FEEDBACK WINNERS! SO NOTHING PERSONEL, JUST A POLICY! THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!
