My 2000 E350 Quigley!
'Thought I'd share my recent acquisition of a 2000 E350 Chateau 4x4.
5.4 V8, Quigley conv., runs/drives like a charm! Purchased in Boise, ID and drove home 275mi without a hiccup. I've done a tie rod replacement, oil change, alignment. It still needs what appear to be corroded (external) fuel lines replaced (another topic I need to post), but otherwise it's solid! The interior is about as perfect as a 13 year old vehicle can be, save for the misc screw holes and velcro from the 1st owner (cable locating company). I'm the 3rd.
Here's the kicker: It has 334,000 miles! I was nervous, but the price was right! It has a 7 page CarFax with 2 fender benders and :::every::: oil change, belt replacement, coolant flush, etc! Crazy. I'm planning a removable sleeping arrangement and a 4-5 bike transport system for the back for my cycling team.
The mileage isn't....great....., but I wasn't expecting perfection. I'd like to figure out how to squeeze a bit more out of it if possible though
Anyhoo, here's a pic:
I'll post more as it takes shape!
