Here is my NEW baby. I traded the 2001 2-door Explorer in on a Limited Edition 2005. It's powered by a 281 cubic inch V8 (4.6L), has 4-wheel drive, and big 17" wheels. It has a five-speed automatic tranny, 240 horses, traction control, and it tows up to 7,000 lbs. It has leather interior, a sun roof, a 6-disk CD changer built into the dash, reverse sensing system, and power everything. The seats go back to my preset position with a flick of the keyless entry remote. It also has steering wheel controls, heated mirrors, heated seats, dual A/C, and airbags all over the place. And with "employee pricing" and a huge cash rebate, it's all mine.
Here is my NEW OLD baby. I sold my Mustang because it just wasn't practical for a homeowner. (Actually, it wasn't attracting chicks like I thought it would) Also, I wanted something that was NEW, had a warranty, and would be pretty much worry free.
My 2001 Explorer Sport was an excellent deal. I purchased it over the internet in February, and paid several thousand BELOW invoice. It comes fully loaded, with leather, in-dash 6-disc CD, sunroof, power-everything! It was also my largest internet purchase to date.
The picture below is a generic Ford1 picture. My truck is "Estate Green", not the "Toreador Red" that is shown. If you simply adjust the tint and color controls on your monitor, you'll see what my truck actually looks like.
Here is my OLD baby. I purchased it in October 1999. Its was a used 1998 Ford Mustang GT with premium sound package, leather interior, and premium wheels and tires. This was my reward to myself for paying off all my credit cards.
For anyone that is interested, the top speed is 143 MPH.
1 Picture was "harvested" from Edmunds, which is the informative site I used to do preliminary research. They can be credited with helping me make my last two automotive purchasing decisions.
