This 2000 Ford Explorer XLT from Texas drives great... Inspected through October-2014. Cold dual AC, factory CD sound system, had an engine/trans replacement 80K ago. High miles, but suspension and steering is tight, brakes are strong, the XLT tracks down the road just right. Good battery. 50% mixed tires are balanced. There are no fluid leaks, no exhaust leaks, engine compartment is clean, hood-shock doesn't work so prop it with a stick (included!). Interior and exterior is good for the year, original exterior paint clear-coat and chrome is almost like new. Never smoked in, no evidence of pets, the carpets are full, fresh and clean, leather is good except for two front seat bottoms wear & tear. Both front seats are power and work properly. Power windows all work. Center armrest is worn... needs recovering. Seat belts are good. Back-up sensors work. Rear compartment shows no wear, cover is present, headliner is just right, no sagging. Dark tint second row back. Spare, jack, Haynes repair manual, rear wiper and ball hitch are present (Saris bike rack pictured is not included in this auction, but I will include another bike rack if buyer wants). Also front floor mats. Fog lights. All interior and exterior lights are working. Cruise does not work. There is a small center vertical windshield crack which does not affect vision. The drivers door has a hard-to see dent. Paint is not broken. Overall, the XLT should give a lot more miles safely and at 20-24 mpg. Ready for next oil change. Now, please read this carefully: The transmission engages all gears, but shifting from 2nd to 3rd it slips. When the accelerator is tapped during the slippage, the third gear engages properly. This the way I drive it. Reading the blogs it seems this is a common problem for Explorers in different degrees. Could be a code, or anything. I do not know, I am not a mechanic. Always starts first turn and drives strong and safe, good tires and brakes, with ice cold dual air and a good sound system.
