NASCAR Mike Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I need everyones input on whether to buy a used 07 Expedition or a new 08 Expedition. I keep all my vehicles until they die so this will be vehicle I will keep for a long time. I have a diesel Excursion so I will not be towing with this vehicle. Here are the facts for each: 07 Expedition XLT 2WD, 17,676 miles. Not Ford Precertified but will have balance of 3/36 bumper to bumper and 5/50 powertrain. Carfax is clean. 3.31 gears Convienence package Cloth interior 3rd row seat. $17,500 08 Expedition XLT 2WD, 60 miles. Full warranty from Ford. 3.73 gears Convienence package Cloth interior 3rd row seat Sirius radio Trailer tow package Approx $23k with $7,750 in Ford rebates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASCAR Mike Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Oasis report for the 07 Expy comes back clean also. Build date was Feb 07. Base 3/36 warranty would expire 2-6-2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base 3/36 warranty would expire 2-6-2010 If you drove both and they seem fine. No tranny bump, hesitation, I would go for the used and put the $5500 in your pocket. Is that used price their final offer, or can you beat them up a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that used price their final offer, or can you beat them up a bit? Their online price is 19K and I asked for their best price and they came back at that price. I am sure once I am there in person I can get at least another $500 knocked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stangbk Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I personally would go for the 08'. I have an 07' that the tranny issues didn't until around 17,000 miles. I hav'nt heard of to many 08's with tranny issues so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djellenz Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 You will see better gas milage in the '07 with the 3.31 gears over the '08 with 3.73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
