I could not ask for a better buying experience, complete satisfaction, Truck was exactly as advertised. Thank you
Explorer = reliable
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.

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.

LOVE MY 2004 EXPLORER XLT
My Explorer was left to me in my friends will I knew the truck for a few years before inheriting it and except for 1 thing have had NO problems with it other than normal maintenance and I LOVE this truck and have no intention of getting rid of it unless I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO... and then I would still be hesitant about it ! It's always started and drove excellent especially in snow !!! My truck has 90600 miles it was given to me at 75000 miles ... only negative is that before I got it my friend needed to replace the transmission due to losing reverse (literally out of nowhere) WE were both stunned about it .... I wish I could check the transmission fluid by a dipstick too !

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.

Outstanding Experience — Ask for Mohammed and Gordon!
Outstanding Experience — Ask for Mohammed and Gordon! I don’t usually write reviews, but after our experience here I felt compelled to share. My partner and I came in not entirely sure what we were looking for, and Mohammed and Gordon made the whole process genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Gordon was incredibly knowledgeable and patient — he never once made us feel rushed or pressured. He listened to what we actually needed (and what our budget realistically was) and pointed us toward options that made sense for us, not just the priciest thing on the lot. Mohamed stepped in to help us work through the numbers, and he was equally straightforward and transparent. He clearly explained everything, answered all our questions, and found a way to make it work for us. No hidden surprises, no last-minute add-ons we didn’t ask for — just honest, no-nonsense service. We drove away happy, confident in our purchase, and genuinely impressed by how the whole team operates. If you’re in the market for a used car, do yourself a favor and ask for Mohammed and Gordon. These are the kind of people who make a stressful process feel easy. We’ll absolutely be back when it’s time for our next vehicle.
I have had 2 2004 explorers ( BOTH AWESOME!
I have had 2 2004 explorers ( BOTH AWESOME! Over 220k miles each!!) And I bought a 2010 Eddie Bauer with roughly 100k. Absolutely beautiful vehicle, met all my needs (twin 8 year olds then, almost 13 year olds now) so lots of friends, lots of bags, skis, skateboards etc... I loved all of them, they all served me very very well. All were totalled by uninsured drivers in michigan. Literally. T-boned, rear ended, t- boned. And I'm about to buy another one. 2010 explorer, 111k miles. I know it will need the routine repair stuff, but I am 100% more confident in buying yet another Explorer than buying some unibody crap. I'd recommend a 2010 every day. Just pay a mechanic $100 to look it over and drive it. Every day, all day. Loved all my Explorers.

Sam really made my experience very memorable and helped me through every single bit of the process. The car I wanted was clean and well maintained, Sam assisted me exceptionally well, and I ended up buying a car. Overall, a fantastic team and great service. I will gladly use Your Choice Autos again for my next purchase.
10 years since we bought this vehicle used.
10 years since we bought this vehicle used. It has been awesome, over 110K on the clock; minor problems only. Biggest problems are with brake corrosion caused by very salty roads here. undercarriage corrosion is starting to take its toll. But the vehicle is still good enough we are hesitating to upgrade. Some minor, weird but occasional , electric glitches, mostly self locking. But then, the lack of electronics relative to newer models is a big plus to us. We have now owned this vehicle longer than any other we have ever had. interior issues are with the glove box hinge (plastic and breaks if you are not careful), and elbow rests cracking.

I've owned this car for a bout a year now.
I've owned this car for a bout a year now. This has been the best starter car for me. I have the V6 version so towing isn't all there but I could still tow. Pros- drives like a truck, ride height is amazing, very easy shifting no problems, shifter is a little hard getting used to, amazing stereo, great 4x4 feel with that control trac 4WD, Leather seats on driver and passenger, AC controls in the middle, great trunk size. Cons- sometimes can't see that well because the windows are big, rear view mirror a little bit small, little slow.

Great SUV, NOISY inside. Get ext. Warranty!
2016 Platinum. Nice SUV, comfortable, very powerful, decent fuel economy, fair build quality, but there are some things to be aware of; the AWD models have a PTU (power transfer unit) which sends power to the rear wheels. It is positioned very close to the exhaust, and the heat generated by the turbochargers literally cooks the gear oil in the PTU, causing it to fail. The unit only holds about a quart of oil, and is NOT serviced or checked, even when you have the vehicle serviced at the dealer. We had trouble with the front camera, and the recirculation actuator on the climate control. If you are considering a used Explorer, I highly recommend buying the best warranty you can! The only complaint I have is the road noise. On new pavement, it's quiet, but on all other roads it's VERY loud inside!

Wasn't 100% Truthful, But good deal
Caught salesman in a lie. Bought car anyway. Paid cheap money, fixed what was wrong, flipped car, made $2500 clear. Beware OF $250. PAPERWORK FEE. Don't pay it. Negotiate price, never pay fee.
Love the 2 doors
The story begins in the dead of winter in 2004 my grandma found the 2001 ford Explorer sport in a dealer magazine we got the truck for around 5.000 dollars the truck had around 75.0000 miles on it at the time it was a great truck my grandma drove it till it had around 150.0000 miles on it in 2007 till the rear end started making noise she took it in to a mechanic to get it checked out i forgot what part it was but i do know that the people that had the truck before us pute the wrong parts on the truck at the end she replaced the parts for 15.000 dollars thin the mechanic said the transmission was going bad it would cost 15.000 to have it replaced she decided she didn't want to pute any more money in the truck so she gave it to my aunt whos ford Explorer went through more clutchs than rick frlare. Went through wifes so she than gave the truck to my aunt she drove it to about 250.0000 miles to they got a 2012 dodge charger they traded it in for 700 dollars to carmax at the end it had survived the stupid owners of the past it had survived me being born in the back of it on the way to the hospital it had survived getting rear ended in 2005 at a bank it had survived cash for clunkders in 2009 it had survived my idiot aunt to be traded in to car max for a crap v6 dodge charger carmax said it would be parted out

I conducted the transaction for the most part over the telephone and online without any difficulties gave them a deposit and then arrange for air transportation to Denver from Fargo Dealership representatives picked me up at the airport took me to the dealership and an hour later I was on the road back home so I was quite satisfied with the entire transaction and the quality of the car was everything that I had hoped
Exactly what I was seeking
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.

Great Truck, original owner!
This is a one owner car, my uncle brought it brand new for about $36k in 2004, it’s now 2023 and it has 52k miles on her! She had work done, this is only beside he never drove it! Beyond what repairs he fixed, from lack of driving it, it’s one heck of a reliable car, it’s in great shape, fully loaded, even in this age, it still like really nice! The 4x4 mode is awesome in the snow and icy conditions, the engine starts like a baby every time, it was passed down to me, and I’ll keep it until I’m old an gray! Even if I get a newer car, I will still keep it! It has 52k original miles, in 2023! Would make no sense, the KBB value is worthless, knowing how well it was maintained! I would suggest if you can get a lower mileage explorer, that has its paperwork, I would recommend this vehicle! Remember, I witnessed this truck from 2004 till now, 2023 worked like a dream boat! There’sa few minor issues with the headliner starting to sag, but again that’s age, living in New York with all that moisture, beyond that it’s three thumb👍👍👍

Great place to buy! I purchased a GMC Denali from Daniel. He had the truck sitting up front waiting for me. My price was below the market and the Carfax was provided for me at no cost. Rebecca took care of my Financing and It only took a few minutes to get an approval.
