    2000 Exp. Limited Price & Worth?

    I am looking at a 2000 Explorer Limited to buy from an individual. .
    I would like to ask the groups opinion about the price etc.
    4Dr AWD V-8
    White Pearl is the color & it in a "Clean Shape condition".
    It has 67330 miles..a little high
    Limited Slip Differential with 3.73 axle
    Power Moonroof
    Compact Disc Changer multi play
    Camper/Towing Package ( but no hitch? is this normal?)

    Below are things needing attention with the vehicle;
    The front seat has an issue though, the electric controls at the lower side
    panel is coming loose.
    Can this be corrected ? (I have noticed this condition on several used
    explorers I have been looking at.)
    Also the brakes ( it is 4w disc) will need serviced.
    Coolant needs changed
    Transmission needs serviced
    Fuel filter and air filter needs changed
    Needs a new battery

    Now for the price, they are asking $13,500.00
    Remember this is a private party seller not dealer or car lot.

    Comments on this price ( good deal or not etc.) and any other thoughts would
    be appreciated, please!

    Bill:

    If you are stateside, the free and simple Kelley Blue Book website can give
    you some numbers to work with. Don't feel obligated to use their figures
    though, as current local market conditions and your bargaining finesse can
    come into play. It's worth a visit though:

    can 

    Thanks for the suggestions!...Robdog.

    We have agreed to a price... So the price is $12,900.00...Although I haven't
    picked it up yet.

    When I test drove it I turned the radio on but didn't check it for
    readability...(is that a word..grins).

    I feel like I have gotten a good deal. but maybe not so good if it has some
    things wrong I have overlooked!

    best regards,
    Billdog

    Like I mentioned b4 I have about $500 to $600 worth of service and
    maintenance I'd like to do.

    Well congratulations Billmeister! I think you'll love it ($40k sticker
    when new!). I think Edmunds.com is most accurate on prices; $12.9
    sounds pretty good to me. By the way, mine also came with towing
    package (which is basically a tranny cooler) and no hitch...it's a
    good thing that prior owner didn't tow. Can't help you on seat
    electrical your truck, like the voice recorder behind the driver's
    visor. You can play some great tricks on kids with that thing by
    prerecording a pause and then some bizarre noises...gives you time to
    surreptitiously push the play button and then put your hands back on
    the wheel.

    Let us know your experiences after you've owned for a short bit!

    Oh, on the radio..it'll either display the station, time, etc., or be
    completely blank. If it ends up going blank on you, you'll find
    plenty of threads on this NG on how to try to deal with it. I
    suggest, if it works now, just get comfortable quick with how many
    times you have to push the buttons to set your bass, treble how you
    like it; to switch between modes, etc., and then you can live with it
    once it goes blank, as I do because I am, like you, sometimes a
    tightwad. Good luck.

    Robmeister
