I have to admit, after being in Detroit the other week, you do almost need a 4X4 to drive on those roads. Michigan/Indiana roads are Third World spec.

The ATS package was actually the perfect enthusiast's car for MI roads.

I'd ATS or similar (probably mustang for me personally) in place of if I still lived up there, drive that 300 days a year and drive a TRUCK when you actually need a truck.

I guess I'm a , but I enjoy having a fair weather fun car. Keeps it somewhat "special" feeling.

[max225]

If your weather is always "fair" then what ?

[ChrisoftheNorth]

If your weather is always "fair" then what ?

Just drive that all the time. It's what I did when I lived in CA. My DD was my fun car.

I saw a bunch of these when I was out in Grand Junction CO. 5/7 would own if I lived out there.

Absolutely! No where to play with one here which is

Will have to JKU and play in the woods/rocks instead.

I've been to Grand Junction and IIRC it is basically Nebraska. I guess this vehicle is needed for the mountains of snow.

Only needs some wider front fender flares.

Have a handshake deal for $3000 on this

2004 Ford Explorer EDDIE BAUER

http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/cto/6196987351.html

Pros: Super clean, engine purrs....steers like new....newish tars.....current inspection....

Cons: Couldn't OBD as it was not powered so deal is pending whether I can change a fuse to get a reading.....

Has a right rear wheel whine at speed....assumed it was a bearing. ....read up on it....could be lube....could be worse.....any thoughts?

If it's not throwing any codes I am thinking of rolling the dice with the whine......this is the best bang for the buck that I have found here in truck heaven i.e. centPA.....

Transmissions are a weak spot in these... also with 150k+ miles, which is high-ish maintenance would be key. Otherwise this thing will fall apart. Overall at some point I decided to kind of peak at these as well. Since they are 1/2 the price of a cherokee and twice the car.
I wouldn't touch it because of this.

Yeah....the seller is a jeweler who dabbles in flipping vehicles.....says he bought this from a new car dealer......only thing he knows is that it was from canada, but it has an 11 month old PA inspection so

Based on what you said about the tranny.....I think I am going to pass unless the guy will agree to let me take it to a mechanic.....

The 2004 gen is better than the 2005 ish gen that I have, IMO. They seem to hold up better.

These are of the age they'll nickle and dime you to death.

Depends on what kind of traffic you deal with and where you drive.

Shitty roads, shitty drivers... I'd rather a NFGmobile than my fun car.

Looking at that door ding on my car with only 2400 miles.... yes I understand this totally. People blow in general.

I'd go Tribute for sure out of all of these choices, including the later listed Explorer. Hope for 50K more of reasonably low cost miles then crush it?
