Used Ford Explorer for sale under $3,000 near me

The Vehicle is everrhing we looked for. Not to excitwd about beimg a white car but overall there are no words to express my satisfaction with our car and especially Cars dot com!

This was my third time visiting and getting a vehicle from VIP Auto Outlet. My son needed a car and I didn’t think to go anywhere else. Kevin was amazing. He literally worked magic to get my son the best deal possible. I tell everyone I know who is looking for a car to go to VIP. Thank you Kevin and VIP for making my son happy.

This Eddie Bauer Model has all the bells and whistles that one could want. It is a clean body - no rust - and interior. I am only selling it because my wife bought me a new car - otherwise I would keep it.

I've purchased a number of cars from George at East Coast Auto Source over the years. I would recommend the following if you're looking at buying a salvage/repairable vehicle: 1) Choose your Auto Body mechanic FIRST prior to going to purchase a vehicle that is salvage/repairable and pay him for his time even if you DON"T BUY. Paying him $100.00 for his time might save you thousands of dollars in the long run. Take him with you to look at the vehicle you are interest in. A mechanic can identify hidden damage and cost that you as a buyer can not identify. 2) Get an estimate on parts from George (or any other salvage yard) as this is added cost to what you are actually paying for the vehicle. 3) Get a time frame on repairs from your mechanic: example: is his shop out 3 months on repairs? six months on repairs? 4) Add the cost of the vehicle, parts, repairs and time to fix and compare this amount of money and time to the same model vehicle that a dealership or private owner has for sale and analyze if the repair of the salvage vehicle is worth it....sometimes it is: sometimes it's not. I've never had any trouble getting titles, bill of sale, or vehicles shipped upon purchase, etc from George. As indicated, have some knowledge of salvage repairable vehicles and get estimates up front and your repair experience will be much better.

Bought Certified Pre-owned in 2004 with 36K miles. 18 years later, only has a total of 85K Miles. My wife's car. This is a 2000 Explorer XLT Sport 4 Dr with a 5.0L (302CI) V8. In a few words, this has been a great car! I am not an SUV person. If it weighs 4000 Lbs and gets 13 MPG, it should say Lincoln on the back and be like driving a living room, but this car is very capable in bad weather. My wife (aka Chihuahua) loves the thing because it gives her a sense of size and power. I can get about 13 MPG around town, 20 MPG on a steady highway trip. My wife cannot, mostly because she takes advantage of the 5.0L. This car is used for local, around town driving and is not garaged. Has a leather interior that has held up, but otherwise, the interior is rather spartan. It is rather tight for me but I am 6"0 and 360Lbs. I have the same issue with neighbor's 2005 Explorer. Amazingly, considering that this is a rust belt (PA, NY) car and is our 1st choice in our 3 car fleet (also have a 2003 Taurus and a 1991 Aerostar) for the rain and snow, this car has no body rust and only slight bubbling of the paint of the rear bumper. There is underbody rust but nothing structural. Only Body Integrity issue is the factory sunroof. there is no good sealing between the sliding panel and the roof; a "gutter" is the primary means of handling leakage. However, even if not clogged, the gutter is insufficient to handle seal leakage in heavy rain. The seal is not available separately from the glass. Other than a failed starter when the car was 19 years old, it has NEVER let us down. Only repairs were to the starter, radiator and upper / lower ball joints, all done by me. Everything else is original. If one looks for 2000 Explorers for sale, one will find that the average one listed for sale has 200,000 miles or more. That says something about the quality of this SUV! Give it a modicum of maintenance and it will just go and go and go.

Known George for many years. I’ve done body works for 30 years . Let me school some of y’all for bashing for not knowing what your talking about. These cars are totaled out by the insurance for a reason not because they enjoy doing it. If you go and buy salvage car and rebuild it most times your going run into stuff that your not aware of. That’s just how it works whether it’s salvage or working in dealership. If your buying a salvage car thinking well I’ll put a light on it and bumper on it and away I go then in most cases your definitely wrong.Now you can save money buying salvage cars and rebuilding.But expect the unexpected because they are salvage cars totaled for a reason and don’t talk s—t when u get the unexpected. If your looking for new car then go buy one at a dealership with no issues because in the rebuilding world you got spend little money

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.

A few years ago I bought a 3-Series flood car from these guys, and I could not have had a better experience. The staff were great, the car drove excellent, and I later got more cars from them for my family. Definitely give these guys a call.

This Explorer rides smooth at any speed, low miles for an 2010 and a good engine/mechanics. Shows wear in some areas but overall a solid vehicle.

Fantastic experience buying my car. I bought a few parts for my car as well while I was there. I will most certainly be back!!

This SUV meet all my sons needs. Plenty of legroom and cargo capacity. Just the right size for play and work. Has two chargers available

Nice looking Family SUV for kids games, sports events, camping, beach trips, and transportation. Comfortably seats 7 passengers, with a third seat in back. Great condition, with only minor wear for 2002 car. Burgundy Eddie Bauer looks great with larger Mud/Snow tires, and heated seats. AM/FM Radio (CD needs replacing). Recommend as a family car.

Hi my name is Larry Fields we had a very good experience with you all and thank you for the birthday card you guys are great

This car has been my favorite car ever. The visibility is so great, you can see all around you at all times. All seats will lay down for tons of hauling space or you can fit 7 passengers safely and comfortably with add'l storage in back of the 3rd row.

I`ve owned several explorers through the years and put countless trouble free miles on them. The v8 equiped versions are my favorite makes merging into traffic a breeze. I found this one with only 77k miles on it and couldn`t pass it up.

Bought an ‘09 VW Jetta SE with about 143K miles, in early March 2022. Our son loves it. We even loved driving it. It was one of a select few vehicles on the lot that we even considered looking at. Yes, some of the vehicles are pretty worn out/neglected/etc., but you can thank the previous owners for that. Luckily, ours had no dash lights on, everything worked properly, and it drove great! Check every fluid under the hood, listen carefully for any unusual noises coming from motor, transmission, exhaust, etc. Carefully examine the wheels, tires, body panels and trim pieces. Check the function of EVERYTHING inside the vehicle, windows, locks, mirrors, power seats, radio, heater and a/c functions. Make sure sure ALL doors, hood and trunk open properly. Check all lights, turn signals, head lights, hazards, brake lights. If any dash lights are on, find out why before you buy. Cheap used cars are hard to find right now, but do your own inspection and make an informed decision. Even a super clean, detailed used car can have something major happen at any time. It’s used. Parts wear out and eventually need replaced. Just my thoughts...

Liked this truck, has numerous usb ports, nice A/C system, very nice in dash 6 disc player, good sound, strong V-8 engine, full size towing package, along with midget pedals, a good looking SUV even put chrome trim on it. Would even sell to a friend if any were interested. Actually slepted inside for almost a year, nice room in the back, selling it because I no longer need a vehicle this size.

Bradley the salesman was very honest. We made a good deal with no pressure. I was given a great price for my trade in. Well worth the drive.

Love the 4.6L. Very durable. Comfortable. Carries 7 people. Bought 2008. Over 12 yrs replaced common xxxxxxwith this model: Window master switch/slave switch, both fr/rr AC/heater switches, intake manifold, R. valve cover w/ add oil neck. Gets 19 mpg still. I never used the 4x4. Have replaced fuel injectors, starter, radiator,struts, both CV joints which is all usual for a truck w over 260,000 miles. Performed upper intake clean out recently. I Need to replace the cat/converter. Clear coat starting to wear off in certain areas. Other than that, paint still good. Drive train holds up well. Holds alignment well, replaced regular items like tires, brakes, oil and filters at Ford suggested intervals.

Mike was very helpful in helping me find my new baby. Friendly people and straight to the point salesmanship. I enjoyed my experience. Great lead if your looking for a used vehicle. Dynamic wholesale has a variety of body styles to choose from. It's all depending on the price you want to pay.

this suv has met all my needs. it is very comfortable rides great and has plenty of power.the inside door handle could have been placed in a better spot but that is my only gripe.

Jarred was very helpful I bought a 2010 Ford f150. He went over the truck with me. There was a lot of trucks to choose from. I had a 3.5 hour drive home back to Ohio with NO issues so far everything works I am VERY happy with my purchase.

this vehicle is very clean runs great never saw any major issue.well kept.its valued very reasonably.i would say it will be a best deal for the condition it is.

The tranny is a Mazda. You can sleep across the back seat or put the back seats down and there's enough room for 2 to sleep. I've towed a Taurus and a TJ Wrangler with this. I've moved large, heavy dressers, refrigerators and stoves with this. It is my second car and the gas mileage isn't great but it is a tank. One thing they are prone to rolling over so spacing your tires out wider is a good idea. Some people cannibalize the axles and put them on TJ Wranglers. The gears are perfect and the axles will handle the larger tires. This is called the poor man's swap.

I have only shopped online looking for one specific truck. I have been contacted to talk about wanting to buy. That person was so nice, laid back did not try to push something else on me. I received a follow up call letting me know they got in a Chevy Colorado but it had a manual transmission. They continue to look for what I want to buy but are not pushy they keep a watch out for the desires vehicle I'm interested in. Thanks, Lower Brother's.

My radiator blew up on my explorer and there is a recall on it, but it hurt my vehicle heads now! Will it still cover that?

Has been a pleasure to own, v8 model has great pick up for an SUV. Overall comfortable and reliable when taken care of. Nice to drive, even nicer to be a passenger.

Very accomodating and friendly. Got best vehicle available at a great price.

This car meet all my Espectations, It is a beauty strong machine...love it!!!reliable, secure, confortable, good air conditioner, cheap on gas usage in compare with others of the same díd a. Its an excelente, lo hable con machine

The team there was friendly and the car was decent for it's price. Overall I found something else but it was good experiance and good information

I bought my 2000 Ford Explorer in January of 2016 for $1900 dollars, it had 150,000 miles on it. It now has 181,000 thousand miles on it. I get the oil changed every summer with Pennzoil High Milage synthetic every year. The ball joints, radiator, and the radiator fan blade has been replaced. I replaced the EGR feedback pressure sensor and the EGR valve myself. I clean my map sensor, change my air filter and replace my fuel filter. It does not burn oil, I check my oil every two weeks. This Explorer is easy to work on, the parts are easy to find. It has never left me stranded. Sometimes the motor hums, it is a beautiful sound. I don't drive it far unless I'm going to Atlanta. It would be nice if I could get 300,000 miles on her. It is a sturdy SUV. I don't push it but when I step on the gas it accelerates without hesitation. If you are looking for a solid SUV consider the 2000 Ford Explorer.

I have never been to this dealer. I plan on buying something from this dealer in the future. I keep an eye on the inventory. As a car guy, with dealership experience. I am very much enjoying the responses to the comments. I appreciate not bowing down to unreasonable expectations, or ignorance of some comments.

My 97 explorer v8 5.0 awd is great and Strong but too much gas $$...don’t use thicker than 10w30 oil or will start making ticking noises, change oil at least 3 times a year..it has 180,000 Gas pedal is riveted (bad idea) rivets broke and I drilled and installed screws w nuts. front hub bearings replaced ect .. if transmission feels like shuttering after 2nd gear try turning OD OVERDRIVE off .. Scan it w computer but usually is because of the lock up converter switch acting up ..4r70w trans’s valve body needs to be upgraded. I’ve been driving it like that for 5 years ..MAKE SURE IT HAS THE RIGHT OIL !!!!.i think is mercon on 5 ..BUT if oil looks DARK ..DONT REPLACE IT !..Too late for that. If oil is changed when is dark like black or almost black is a big chance trans will fail.

I'm very pleased with my buying experience. The salesman and the entire crew are friendly and passionate, patiently outlining every detail while providing prompt service. I was very comfortable dealing with them and I didn't feel rushed. Pricing is reasonable and they have a huge amount of cars for sale.
