I bought one new in 2003, 211k miles and still going.
I bought one new in 2003, 211k miles and still going. In 22 years I have had the following maintenance: 1-Alternator, 2- radiators, 2- water pumps, upper ball joint assembly on front passenger side, valve cover gaskets, 1-set of spark plugs, 2- Power module fuses, replaced head liner and the normal tires and Breakpads. Still has the Ford electrical wiring quirks; door ajar faut sensor lights which in the interior dome light will not turn off. All things considered for the amount of space and towing its a good value.

The older explorers
So my family had this car for around 22 years. My mom drives it mostly so it's lightly used. The engine and transmission are orginal and at 173,000 miles. I remember it has a few problems over the years but hey it runs still. At this point some of the rubber inflow of the engine had to rotted out and be replaced and the bottom has some rust from salt over over the years. Overall it's a good ride. If getting one make sure it's low mileage.

2024 Lincoln Nautilus purchase
A smooth and pleasant car buying experience. George Parker was extremely helpful making the process as quick, easy and efficient as possible since I had an appointment to get to later that day. Thank you.
Still running strong after 20 years of use
have owned this car for 20+ years now and its by far the most reliable for my family out of all cars ive owned. Its a very low maintenance car, hasn't needed a major fix once ever.

Our experience at Import Exchange in Monkena, IL, was
Our experience at Import Exchange in Monkena, IL, was excellent. We found a car that we liked but noticed a couple of cosmetic issues with the bumper. Mike at Import Exchange jumped right in and fixed the defects in a timely and well-done manner. They also worked with us on the price. I would definitely recommend the folks at Import Exchange Inc.
one of my favorite cars
Love the style of the Vehicle and the amount of space for storage. Feel safe in the size of the car. Great size for transporting my dogs to Shows.

On July 1, 2025 I had know idea what to expect at this
On July 1, 2025 I had know idea what to expect at this dealership, but what an amazing car dealership and what a special group of people to do business with! Thank you Eric, Juan and Sam for taking time and patience with me. You got me into a vehicle I never thought I would be able to get. Autoplex will be highly recommended. I will be going north shortly with "Henry" "the 2018 Jeep Cherokee Latitude" I purchased. I look forward to the riding in comfort and thank you Autoplex for your professionalism and kindness extended to me. Karen Sullivan
