bought the wife a new (to her) vehicle

[ZombieSoldier]

Just got her a 2005 ford Expedition Eddie Bauer with the 5.4, 4wd and loaded to the gills last night. She loves it.

Nice find, Gregg!

I keep telling Lisa I'm goign to get here an X, but she says it's too big. I say, the more to protect you and the kids in an accident. Simple logic, and it would give me something else to play with . I'll probably end up with an Expedition, or Explorer. She REALLY has her eyes on a newer F150 though. At least I wouldn't feel like a douche driving any of them

shannon said the same thing its too big its too big (she drove my truck around *shaking head) i made her just take it for a test drive, and she quickly found out it wasnt too big, and that she actually loved it!

LOL, my wife drives my truck sometimes too, and loves the looks she gets

I have heard some horror stories about spark plug replacement in those 5.4's. One guy I know here at work paid $600 to have them changed, and another paid $1300. They cost more if they're stuck in there, and even worse if they break off. I guess it's one of the biggest faults on the 5.4. They sure as hell sold a LOT of them though so maybe those two cases were flukes

I'm becoming a big fan of leather in cars . Looks like it was a great buy. How many miles?

[ZombieSoldier]

86,000 miles paid $17k about average price, but this thing is CLEAN. no stains, no rips, no scrathes we could find, no dents or dings

I hope we can find something that clean when my truck is paid off
