This auction is for a fully loaded black, 2000 Ford Explorer XLT V-8 with a towing hitch, roof rack, hitch rack, and snow chains. The truck is in great condition for a 13 year old car. It was just professionally detailed and has always been adult driven, has never been smoked in, driven off-road, or otherwise thrashed, crashed, driven hard, or abused. It has been a trusted member of our family for 10 years and we have returned the favor by taking excellent care of the car. It's had 174,000 easy miles of running around a suburban town, with an occasional camping trip. We are selling because it's time to move on to something newer and we need a car with a third row seat. The car runs like a top and with the V-8 power, when you step on the gas you know it. This truck has a lot of guts and there's no doubt it can handle a towing load.We are the second owners and purchased the car in 2002 with 36,000 miles from a local car dealer in Westlake Village, California. We paid $19,000 and the original MSRP on the vehicle was approximately $25,000.
The car is serviced regularly and we have most of the maintenance records. The Michelin tires were purchased at Costco in 2007 and still have lots of tread left. It has a new starter, new bulbs in the instrument panel, new cruise control switches, new door lock remote control, and new door lock actuators, and new floormats. The air conditioning blows cold. In 2009 the transmission was overhauled and it runs perfectly. The oil was changed very recently at Jiffy Lube and it will be another several thousand miles before it is due for its next oil change, etc. When you drive the car away it will also have a full tank of gas. This car is turn-key and ready to roll.
As a bonus, the car was just registered and is not due again until May, 2014.
There is normal wear and tear in the interior including some fading of the dashboard and tears in the driver's leather seat. The leather on the steering wheel is warped and we have put a very nice steering wheel cover on it. The exterior has normal dings and scratches and two small dents. The most serious exterior flaw is fading/oxidized paint on the roof. The stereo with 5 CD changer works great but the digital display is burned out. This is a California car and there is no rust damage. There are no mechanical problems with the car that I am aware of. See photos for cosmetic issues.
Please note that the car is also being advertised locally, so this auction can be canceled at any time. And the car, of course, is being sold "as is."Thank you.Ford Explorer for Sale

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Thu, 02 May 2013No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
