Question about a 1996 Ford Explorer Hello,
I am planning on buying a 1996 Ford Explorer. I'm sure exactly what model, but I do know that it is 2 door.
It has 185,000 miles, has never been in a wreck, has perfect interior and exterior, has never had any engine trouble, and has had all regular maintenance done.
Right now I drive a 2000 Honda Civic, I know the gas mileage for the Explorer will be a lot worse, but I want to switch to an SUV, mostly because SUVs are safer than sub-compact cars. Isn't the insurance cheaper as well?
From what I have said about the Explorer, do you think it would be a good buy that would last me? I am going to take it for a test drive and to a mechanic this Friday, and if they say it looks like a good car I am buying it Saturday. I just want to know if anyone has an Explorer with the same amout of miles (or more) than the one I want and the problems they have or have not had with it.
So please give me some feedback and let me know if you think it would be a good buy to last me atleast 4 years (I don't drive a lot). And any problems that I might encounter, or that you have encountered with an Explorer that has the same amout/more miles.
Thank you,
