looking at a 2001 explorer sport

Basically I wanted to know what a 2001 explorer sport with 30,000 miles on it would be pricing at? I viewed the usually sites such as edmunds so I do have some figures. I know for sure I don't want an escape it's too small with the horses and haling the two large akita's around. I don't think I need a full size explorer either though and to be honst 26,000 is just too much money I am still in college I can't afford payments well into the 400's each month!

Does anyone have an explorer sport? What do you think of it?

looking at a 2001 explorer sport

i have a 01 explorer sport. (leased new) it has been a good ride. its the second new explorer we've had. the sport is ok if you don't have kids or maybee just one, but now with 2 kids the sport is way too small!
the 4.0 has plenty of power. as for price we got ours for 27k new(loaded) the buy out price at the end of our lease will be 22.

if i were you i would get the sport-trak or wait and get the new designed explorer its much better all around.

hope i helped

tony

looking at a 2001 explorer sport

I got the 2001 sport this past Tuesday. It was the business managers demo for the last year and had 13,000 Miles on it. I couldn't pass up the deal I got (18,000 for a fuly loaded SUV). Wish I could say I am smitten with it but I would be fibbing it rides like a truck and eats gas like a little pig. Maybe I have just found out the hard way I am a car person? At any rate it's a very nice truck and I have no children (unlss you count the two akita's) so it's size works well. Overall I am happy with the purchase and most of the men I know would gladly take it off my hands (even though it have navy blue leather interior)


I thank you for your response
