Used Ford Explorer for sale near Stafford, VA under $40,000

Nick and Greg were super helpful. All around very smooth and easy process at this dealership

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!

From the moment I walked into Fred’s Executive Auto in Woodbridge, I could tell this was not your average car dealership. The staff greeted me warmly with an inviting environment. I was immediately impressed by the professionalism and the no-pressure atmosphere, which made the entire experience enjoyable from the start. This family owned business went above and beyond to make sure I found the perfect vehicle that fit both my needs and my budget. They were incredibly knowledgeable about their inventory and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. I never felt rushed or like I was being “sold to,” which is a rare and welcome change from many dealerships I’ve visited in the past. What really stood out to me was their honesty and transparency. The team provided a full vehicle history report without me even having to ask, and there were no hidden fees or surprise add-ons when it came time to discuss pricing. Everything was straightforward and fair, which made the buying process smooth and stress-free. The selection of vehicles at Fred’s Executive Auto was also impressive. They had a wide range of high-quality, well-maintained cars to choose from, many of which were priced very competitively. It’s clear that this team takes pride in offering only the best to their customers, and they don’t cut corners when it comes to vehicle quality or service. The financing process was quick and painless, thanks to their knowledgeable finance staff who walked me through every step. They helped me secure a great rate and made sure I understood all the terms before signing anything. I truly felt like they were looking out for my best interest throughout the entire process. Logan was incredibly easy to work and communicate with when dropping off vehicles for service or repairs. Efficiency and transparency with every step of the way! Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Fred’s Executive Auto. They’ve earned my trust and my future business, and I’ll definitely be recommending them to friends and family. If you’re in the market for a used vehicle and want a dealership that values honesty, customer service, and quality, look no further than Fred’s in Woodbridge. Five stars all the way!

The vehicle meets al my family needs. The vehicle was within my budget. The vehicle was well maintained. The interior was we’ll kept. Love it !

Arlington Motors of Woodbridge used cars experience was great. Hassle free, and great customer service. The team worked well together. Would recommend buying a car from here.

Wife's car ,working at home not many miles low 20k as of2024 June. Still I wonder about trans fluid because of time. Problem that bugs me is the radio. Static in AM off and on ,and of course the business station 1220am about the market. UGH!! Third lease of explorer, so low in miles ,made it a purchase. 🤞👍

Moses is the man he is great to work with and very patien thank you so much ill be back to buy another car great customer service

2017 Ford Explorer. I love my car. It runs great but I have had battery problem and trim has blown off my car on freeway. Have not had a lot of problems with it.

I had a wonderful experience here. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Kevin Beasley, he is one of the best service advisor i dealt with. I highly recommend Koons Woodbridge Ford

I love this vehicle. My 2022 Ford Explorer XLT far exceeds my expectations. Handling is great. Performance is far better than expected. Gas mileage is 26mpg combined average for the 16,500 miles I have on the vehicle so far. The interior fit and finish could be better and the original tires...not holding up very well. The vehicle is comfortable and always a pleasure to drive. I always get compliments on the exterior style. In my opinion, it's one of the better looking SUV's on the road. The rear biased drive train give it superior handling, better than anything I test drove. Chevy, Subaru, or the Kia.

Absolutely best car buying experience ever. Thank You, Jorge Torres, No pressure and a great deal

The car meets all my family needs. We were looking for something bigger and reliable to take on trips. We are happy we our purchase. We our enjoying our new vehicle.

Second car that I’ve bought now with Moses of MNB Auto. Love, love the prices and the transparency. The first car running great. Looking forward to the new car!

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.

Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver. It has enough space to transport my large and was very reliable until about 160,000 miles. Gasket seal and O2 sensors failed causing me $800 in repairs. Not super expensive, but like the previous review says check to see if there are any open recalls. Currently at 230,000 miles and still driving. If you follow the suggested maintenance schedule you'll be fine. If not, you'll be in for some trouble.

My experience with Automan Empire was impeccable. PJ and the staff are friendly, caring & professional. I had a AC issue after purchasing the car and they didn’t hesitate a minute to repair it. I highly recommend this dealership. In the future if I’m ever in need of a car are etc. I won’t hesitate to go to Automan Empire.

I have owned Toyota and Honda vehicles for years. I love the space and comfort of my Ford Explorer. However I'm at 68k miles and just had to have my transmission rebuilt. If I didn't love the comfort and ride of this vehicle so much, I would trade it in tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed and praying this vehicle will hold out to 200k miles.

Great service, good experience. Salesman knowledgeable, knows Ford trucks. Got me what I wanted quick.

I am happy with everything about my explorer. Get good gas mileage and is very comfortable ride. Traded my 2020 for this 2022. Love the color and have gotten lots of compliments.

I have had several Explorers all have been great vehicles. My newest is only a couple years old. I also still have a great running 26 year old with almost 200k miles. Never had a big or expensive problem with either. I can say the same for the BMWs, Mercedes and Infinity’s I have owned…Once these expensive vehicles warranty expired everything but their engine seemed to fall apart. My Fords are reliable and never break down (knock on wood) Not flashy like the imports but solid.

Michael from Koons Hyundai Woodbridge was the best sales person I’ve worked with when buying a car. He was patient, informative, and wonderfully honest about the process. He diligently worked with me to find the option that would work best for me and my current needs and I couldn’t be more happy with my purchase. Referring people directly to him moving forward!

This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

I have had this car for about two years, the V8 version. It is one of the best cars I've ever had. It has tons of space and is really reliable I wouldn't hesitate taking it anywhere. Haven't had to do anything major only routine oil changes and such. The explorer won't be the best on gas but if you're looking for something dependable this one is it.

Best car I’ve ever owned. Does everything I want//need it to do. Always starts in the morning. I’ve been camping with it and slept inside the car. Plenty of room

Stanley was the most humble attentive and courteous sales guy I meant His personality was easy to tell him my car needs and made an extremely satisfied customer

Love this vehicle!! Went from 2013 Chevy Malibu to this 2019 fully loaded Ford Explorer. Love the navigation, hands free phone, auto bright lights and Windsheild washer, remote start, sun roofs, back up camera, luggage racks, hitch andtowing capabilities, 3rd row seating and stowing, the Ford app, the Ford warranty, leather heated seats and steering wheel, and all the safety and other luxury accessories.

My man Arman was great, keep up the good work and give him a raise !

I love my ST all except for seating. I’m just not a fan of European style seating soo we had an upholstery shop up grade them. Sooo much fun to drive! Great gas mileage considering I’m a lead foot. And when needed you can put a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back.

"I recently had the pleasure of visiting 95 Motors and was thoroughly impressed with their service. Lori.R was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The team at 95 Motors truly goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Highly recommend!"

Looked at many different vehicles, very happy with 2022 Ford Explorer. The Explorer vehicle is very roomy with all the comforts of a luxury vehicle.

Ulissa was great.. helped me out greatly.. Came from ny and was not let down.. very down to earth.. great dealer and even better staff(ulissa). Thanks

I have heard a thump in the front end since I've had it and don't understand why this is happening 2017 Ford Exspoler XLT every time I turn my car to the left is there any recalls about this issue? William Wilson.

Meet with Johnathan today to trade my car in for a widebody challenger scatpack great service all around and great deal will shop with them again. Thanks Johnathan and albert

This vehicle is everything iv wanted and MORE! I showed up to the dealership with a price range I wanted to stick by & wanted the ability to get a vehicle that had a 4X4 button to drive through the weather in the winter. I was not only able to get these two things from my purchase but also came with lots of extra bells and whistles

Just bought my first car from here! Great dealership Yosuf was a wonderful sales representative! Highly recommend You’ll love it here! I promise you that

We have only had our vehicle for a short time but it meets and exceeds our expectation. We purchased the limited model due to the reduced noise inside of the vehicle
