Up for auction is a 2001 Explorer XLT. Only 2 owners, we bought this SUV with 10K miles on it. Current Condition: Explorer has 181,562 miles and has been off the road for 3 months. Prior to that it was currently running very good with no known major issues. On occasion the engine light has gone on and off, but currently it is off. The SUV’s battery is dead, and needs a new one. It can be jumped and the vehicle started right up after setting a few months. This vehicle can be driven away and is easily roadworthy, but I would not trust the battery, General Mechanical Condition: The engine did not leak or burn oil, the transmission is solid and shifted fine. 4x4 still works. The vehicle had no leaks of any kind. Brakes and rotors are in good condition. With the exception of the ABS light remaining on, all dash lights are off. Exterior Condition: The vehicle has surface rust, but no holes. Gas cap area has bubbles. No discernible dents but typical scratches you would see on a vehicle this old. This vehicle has not been in any accidents Interior Condition: This is a non smoking vehicle and interior is in very good condition with the exception of a bleach spill on the storage area carpet in the back. Cloth seating had no rips or stains. What still works: Power seats, windows. Mirrors, and locks, CD, keyless entry,4x4, heater. unsure if the cassette player does as it was never used. What does not work: Rear hatch button, driver inside door unlock button, AC air temperature change barely noticeable. Keys will not work on the exterior doors because they cannot be inserted into lock, probably from lack of use. Recent work within last 3 years: Power steering leak repaired, new ball joints, new brakes and rotors, Rear axle replaced, U- joints, replaced both front wheel bearings. Front tires (about 40% - 50% tread remaining). Recent work within the last 10 months: Replaced muffler system up to converter, two new rear tires, compete engine tune up and a used alternator was installed. Overall comments: This vehicle has been a very solid vehicle for both me and my son and is still a roadworthy vehicle. Vehicle is being sold because our son is expected to move to Florida and this has too many miles on it to move with him. It has nothing major wrong with it, just plenty of miles with typical wear and tear. Because of the mileage it has no reserve and therefore gets sold as is. Pictures were taken 1/14/13.
