I found a great resource on this vehicle by Google searching “2016 Ford Explorer BROCHURE” and selecting the first result, I suggest looking it over….

THE BODY: The body looks great, no dents, no rusty rocker panels, no rusty wheel wells, no rusty door edges inside or outside….all window glass is clear, headlights are crystal clear (LED signature lighting looks impressive and looks great with the optionally upgraded factory LED fog lamps), taillights are not broken (LED taillights provide greater on road visibility)…. “BRONZE FIRE METALLIC” unique paint color (was an optional upgrade) has a deep mirror like shine….the car is very very good, its not perfect (some minor imperfections), its not brand new, but it is very nice….

THE INTERIOR: The entire interior of this vehicle is very clean and inviting (Refer to photos but you will see just how clean this is when you actually take the steps to come and see this vehicle for yourself) The premium “ebony black” heated leather seats are firm with no rips tears or stains. The headliner is clean, dashboard is in excellent condition, center stack that houses the huge tough screen display is like new and well complimented by the appliqués located throughout the cabin, carpet has no stains anywhere, and with the second and THIRD ROW SEATING folded there is a whopping 80.7 cubic feet of cargo room to handle your daily tasks…the entire interior of this vehicle is very clean…and once again all equipment works properly…

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES: This Explorer is equipped with the DRIVER CONNECT PACKAGE as well as the COMFORT PACKAGE….One of my favorite features, besides the huge 8 inch touch screen, is SYNC (Ford’s award winning BLUETOOTH system with voice recognition) which allows for handsfree calling and playing your own music over the PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM with 9 speakers specifically designed and acoustically engineered for the Explorer cabin resulting in truly impressive sound. Other notable equipment includes a BACKUP CAMERA with guidelines, backup parking sensors, FORWARD PARKING SENSORS, huge 8 inch TOUCH SCREEN infotainment system, two configurable screens in the dash with steering wheel mounted MyFord 5 way controls, AUX and 2 USB ports, PUSH BUTTON START with intelligent access, REMOTE START, HANDSFREE POWER TAILGATE (kick foot under bumper to operate, was an optional upgrade)…also equipped with FIVE different all wheel drive modes including mud/rut, snow/gravel/grass, sand, normal, and hill descent control for tackling a variety of off and on road situations

FLEX FUEL: This Explorer is a FLEX FUEL vehicle meaning it can take E85 fuel. A flex-fuel vehicle can burn whatever proportion of fuel mixture is in the combustion chamber. The car is equipped with electronic sensors that gauge the blend, and its microprocessors adjust the fuel injection and timing. This fuel is also sustainably produced from corn, and commonly, it is 25% to 35% less expensive than other high-octane fuels

SAFETY: The 2016 Explorer was awarded by the NHTSA an overall 5 STAR SAFETY RATING (highest government rating possible) equipped with front passenger KNEE AIRBAG, advanced dual-stage front airbags, safety belt pretensioners, safety belt energy-management retractors, safety belt usage sensors, driver’s seat position sensor, crash severity sensor, restraint control module and Front- Passenger Sensing System, Front-seat side airbags, 2-row side-curtain airbags, AdvanceTrac electronic stability control with brake-actuated traction control, and more...this even has an SOS Post-Crash Alert System that, in the event of an accident, will unlock the doors, turn on four way flashers, contact emergency services for you and even provide them with important information about the accident

PREMIUM DETAIL: We try our best to showcase just how clean this car is with quality photos, but you should know we make an extra effort to make sure that this vehicle is looking as good as new. There’s a lot of specifics I won’t list here, but the extensive premium detail includes interior and exterior cleaning, washing, buffing, polishing, waxing, sealing, and much more

this is a QUALITY, well taken care of Ford Explorer, once again, you will believe it when you actually take the steps to come see it, drive it, and decide that you want to own it for yourself (with PROPERLY made appointment vehicle will not be sold while you are traveling to see it)

******price is NON NEGOTIABLE******

I referenced this price guide when pricing this vehicle….other guides do NOT use the actual maintenance history for a specific vehicle when generating a value, but CARFAX does

Consumers who want to see the CARFAX report should also pay attention to the CARFAX HISTORY BASED VALUE, they provide a VIN-specific price for every used car based on its history. Instead of providing you with a retail value they say what a specific car with a specific VIN is worth based on SEVERAL major history factors that impact car value. Keep in mind that the CARFAX values THIS vehicle at $16,170 our price $14,980
