    Bought one of these Eddie Bauer '98s New and drove it for years and it never once stranded us. We got into a downsizing frenzy about 10 yrs ago and sold it for a song to my sister-in-law's family and it never left them beside of the road even one time. We got in two car crashes that totaled both of our smaller vehicles and could have killed us. We were looking for ANYTHING that I could drive to work each day and Sis said we could have our black expedition back. It looked pretty sad but I waxed it up and it is just absolutely beautiful! So nice to have it back!

    My mother just retired her '99 with 320,000 miles on it this last year. Crazy how my parents drove me back from the hospital in it after my birth, and I learned to drive in it years later. It was hard seeing it go, like the lost of a relative in a sense. My mother cried when we drove away from the scrapper. It had a lot of issues towards the end, but damn was it loyal. Never let us down or left us on the side of the road, even on its last drive. I ended up finding another expedition the same year for $2500 with 130,000 miles on it, and it's been just as loyal for her.

    I have a 1998 Ford Expedition XLT with the 5.4 L and air suspension. Very smooth and comfortable. These are well made, incredibly reliable, and smooth. They also sell for very little probably making them about the best value on the road. I agree with the comment about the old Mercedes. Build quality of this generation Expedition is much better than today's Mercedes (not that difficult to achieve) and on par with Mercedes from about 1988-1992.

    I just bought an 01 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 2wd w/o Sunroof For 1,200 on a steal! And i giggle everytime i get in the driver seat and start it up, Its old but in a way that a Mercedes is old, even though the years have gone by its still a really nice vehicle. (Plus its big so if ppl look at you funny in traffic you can just laugh and look over there heads)

    I remember my grandpa owning a 2002 Expedition XLT trim and it had a beautiful blue exterior with the same tan leather interior, but then he had to sell it because it ran into a transmission issue and it costed too much to replace so he replaced the vehicle with a 2011 Toyota Tundra, I miss that Expedition so badly, it was fun to ride in, yet so is the Tundra.

      tr v Ford cars (old and new) are very popular where I live, and there’s a good reason for that too. Ford cars tend to last longer than GM and Chrysler. I own a 2016 Ford Escape, but I also like the older Ford Escape as well as the rest of Ford’s older SUV and Truck lineup. 1 thing I really hate about the older models though is the faster beep when it’s telling you to put the seat belt on. But thankfully, they’ve changed to a different beep in the newer models. Other than that beep though, I really like the older models, as well as the newer cars too.

      @@MasterJim2020 I drive a 2002 Dodge intrepid with 226.000 miles. For now I'm thinking about finding something a little newer. It's been decent other than the typical 2.7 water pump replacement at 217.000 miles. Other than that no issues with the engine or transmission.

    • @MasterJim2020
      @MasterJim2020 5 лет назад +1

      tr v That’s awesome!! My Mom had a early 90’s Chrysler Town & Country and her Aunt had a early 90’s Dodge Caravan, which both vans are the same vehicle. Those were good cars but sadly a few years after those vans came out, that’s when Chrysler started to go downhill. Don’t get me wrong though. I like some of the newer Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles. But when you consider something as bad as the Chrysler PT Cruiser, the Chrysler 200, the Dodge Dart and the Jeep Liberty, you’ll be scratching your head thinking that you should’ve gotten something else.
      Maybe for your next vehicle, you could think about getting a Dodge Charger, a Ford Fusion, a Ford Focus, a Toyota Camry, or a Honda Accord; just to name a few choices for a Sedan.

    This was the vehicle from my childhood. I used to have this Ford Expedition (the same model year as this one in the video, except that it's blue). This was one of the best and most reliable vehicles that I could ever have, and it felt like if I were to drive a Toyota, and it's rather a cute SUV, and to be fairly honest, I would've rather take this thing to college rather than a newer vehicle. I honestly regret trading this in for a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox since this vehicle (The Chevrolet Equinox) had some problems with the engine (it's a 2.4L in-line 4-Cylinder model) which is pretty costly, and the check engine light would light up sometimes, and all of the sudden, it goes off a few days later. And overall, if I were to be smart enough of getting a reliable engine for me to go to college, then I would've never traded this vehicle in for a Chevy Equinox, and if I had to get rid of it for fuel efficiency reasons, then I would rather buy a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic.

    My Aunt had the exact same car! Eddie Bauer edition, color, and rims. My dad tells me that my uncle got for my aunt from a guy who just wanted to get rid of it. It was a good price, had low miles, and was in good condition. Don't know why they got rid of it to be honest. I don't it think it was because the car was unreliable, I just think they wanted something newer. I am actually looking at and old Expedition or Explorer. Great car, awesome drive. P.S. love the song at 3:55.

And, I Already Surprised My P.e Teacher, Mr Suarez, With A Brand New Car. And, I Surprised Him, With A 1998, Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer. He Felt So Emotional, Because, His Other Car, Had Brokened Down. So, He Wanted To Buy A Brand New Car, But, It Caused Seven Thousand Dollars. So, He Didn't Buy The Car, Because, He Didn't Have Enough Money. And, He Went Home, Really Disappointed. But, Then, I Surprised Him.

    Just got my 2000 Expedition EB, with air suspension, back on the road after sitting for almost 2 yrs. Had some repairs to do and couldn't get to it right away and didn't need the vehicle (broke both bolts on the thermostat housing and had to drill them out and find an extension tap and get new bolts from Ford) . Once I got it fixed it fired right up. Needs an oil change and some more antifreeze in it before I can drive it fully, for now just some trips up and down the driveway, drive is .2 miles long. The wife likes it and wants to keep it for now.
