I'm Selling my Mint 1998 Ford Explorer at Copart!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

[@chrisflippo7455]

Hey, enjoy the videos, was just thinking, maybe you could stamp your channel name in the video section of the car running on the copart website, where you show the vehicle running, and get a little more advertisement out for your channel! hope it helps.

[@Eriks_rides]

The (High) book value on that explorer is $2,837 in very good condition. Whoever considers purchasing at that price should consider that copart will charge approx $750 in purchasing fees plus shipping. You will also have to have the awd transfer case serviced/rebuilt. Thats going to cost around $1000 at a reputable automotive shop. Im a ASE certified mechanic with 25 yrs experience. My advice is to Bid accordingly, to anyone seriously interested in this truck. Not trying to throw shade at you randy. Just want people to get a fair deal

[@JerrysEdits]

​Find one in perfect condition with no rust, and 105k miles for $2800 then...​@@Eriks_rides

[@dmocksautosnstuff]

Bro just get your retail license and pick and choose certain cars to sale to the public and you can still sell the headaches to the auto auctions that way you make some extra money cash just my opinion as a fellow dealer and long time fan.

[@jackcovert4531]

He holds onto everything!!

[@jasonsutherland8290]

As the purchaser of both the Porsche and the Nissan BE-1 I want to thank Randy for his honest commentaries which allowed me to purchase some honest cars that he has reviewed for us! Can’t wait to purchase the next ones he wants to send down the road!

[@martinvalencia6141]

Fair warning to any potential buyers. The viscous coupler is bad on this truck, and that requires a rebuild or replacement of the AWD transfer case. There are easy swaps you can do for an actual 4x4 system out of different explorers.

[@bronzechicken4437]

I revived mine with new fluid, worked great

[@chrisparenti2461]

How do you know it’s bad?

[@robertf4540]

It's a nice rig! A real time capsule in great shape. Who wouldn't want to keep it? At the end of the day though, you are in the Auto Dealer buisness. That's what you do.

[@donaldpiper9763]

It’s 26 years old ,yea you got it running but it needs a lot of maintenance to make it trust worthy . Yea that ani freeze, transmission fluid ,motor oil , brake fluid, probably at least pads , plugs ,injectors cleaned , new tires ,alignment.shocks , tie, rods, wheel, bearings, hoses, belts, shocks,CVT shafts and seals and boots on front end and a new battery. It all adds up to big money ,have you priced auto shop work lately ? $ 💵💸💵💸 plus shipping cost from there to your location another $1,000-1,500 and don’t forget auction fees for those not familiar with auctions,the good deal gets expensive !! I like your videos but at the end of the day you’re still a car dealer .lol You’ll be into it for well over $12,000 for a book valuation of $1,500 . It has sat for over 6 years things dry rot and finding some of the parts to fix them is going to be a nightmare. Gas mileage on that model all wheel drive with a V8 is 12-17 a gallon.

[@M_Phipps0520]

[@djsonic6533]

Such a beautiful example of a 90's Explorer. Hopefully the buyer enjoys it and gives them years of service

[@mtrgv]

Wow, you got a great Explorer at a fantastic price!!! I would review the owners manual to check on the drive system. I'm pretty sure it's an all wheel drive system. Check the front CV shafts to see if they're fully seated, maybe that's what caused the shudder/wobble? I would fill the tank and get a bottle of techron high mileage fuel treatment. The Techron will clean the injectors and return a normal spray pattern. It will also clean the carbon off the intake valves.

[@NoahClay6]

A clean Explorer of this generation is just so hard to find now. Hope the auction brings good money! Also that BMW and Mercedes look pretty sweet. Can't wait for the next videos Randy!

[@jimmycheese3817]

Randy, I'm the guy that sent you the Crown Vic hubcaps. I've owned almost a dozen of these 2nd gen Explorers. I now know you're selling it, but this is for all the know it alls. 1. The trailer wiring plugs into the bottom of the tail light from the outside. No cutting wires. 2. The gray plastic piece is for around the door handle on the inside (I think I saw the drivers door missing it?). 3. The black plastic piece in the center console is not factory. Maybe part of the phone setup? 4. The hole in the center bezel is for the lighter. The AWD 5.0 didn't have a switch. More than likely, the plastic edge broke out and the lighter doesn't stay in the bezel anymore. 5. The big, fat key is a PATS key. PATS is the theft deterrent system Ford had back then. The smaller key (or normal key cut) will unlock the door though. 6. XLT is mid-range. XL (or later XLS) was base, XLT is next, Eddie Bauer is next with Limited being the top of the line. 7. You are seeing "4 wheel high" icon on the cluster. They only made one cluster for all Explorers. Only certain lights were not hooked up if your truck wasn't optioned for it. The manuals even had a block out panel in the cluster where the PRND21 is on automatics. 8. The center bezel has two screws going upwards from where the climate control is. I've had to take my clusters out to change the back lighting bulbs. 9. You can confirm the red label is the door code by looking at the electric box in the jack storage cubby. It would be located towards the front of where the trailer wiring box was (not convenient, but if you took the time, you could find out what the code was). 10. These are great tow vehicles, but MWM needs a heavier hauler. I've towed Explorers with Explorers. You can do it, but it's not advisable. They are only supposed to tow 3,500 lbs or less. I'm glad you're on the mend. I wish I could afford this one. A rare find indeed. Peace!

[@WoWdOm18]

This brings me back! My grandfather had this exact truck. Makes me really want to bid on it.

[@SpeedDemon1220]

Hi Randy, I thought you were going to give the Ford to your daughter! That would be a good care for her and her family!

[@trbstang]

Of course you are selling it quickly! I have to pay taxes this month! I'll keep it on my watch list and see if I have the $$$ when it actually gets sold.

[@williamcochell9889]

Hey Randy, selling the explorer does make sense, and I have to give you credit. You have a little more discipline than I thought! That is such a incredible unicorn! Such amazing shape I thought you could hang onto it for a while! But good luck you’re long overdue for some profit!hope you enjoy your vacation relax, and heal up some more from your surgery!

Hi Randy. The test drive was incredible. It's just a shame you don't live in Florida with me. You could test your cars at any speed you want. In Florida, speed limit signs are just suggestions, the same as traffic lights and stop signs.

[@danielventura8073]

Trsffic lights are NOT suggestions. We just don't hit the brakes at yellow lights. Ask anyone that's been t-boned by a red light runner. I was almost killed by one but fortunately I saw the truck at the last second. He was going 60 in a stolen truck Central Ave at Sligh Ave Tampa

[@outlet6989]

@@danielventura8073 Hi Daniel. Of course there're not. But it seems to me that many Florida drivers DO consider them to be only suggestions. The drivers I hate the most are pickup owners. They wear cowboy hats and like to think they must drive fast in order to save the homesteads from an Indian attack.

[@clydeiverson3151]

There were four models from bottom to top. Sport, xl, XLT and the Eddie Bauer. The XLT could be optioned to near luxury level. It is not low end. Not unusual to get a front end shimmy in my experience it is usually tired but sometimes bushings or ball joints. Nice rig.

[@nobodynobody2632]

I don’t remember any of my explorers having all-wheel-drive I’ve had four-wheel-drive and four auto but they’ve all had four-wheel-drive selector on the dash. I’ve had nine Explorers, and a lot of that body style

[@cretejake34301]

The Ford explorer I wouldn't sell it no less than $12,000. When it comes to the Chevy pickup truck the bolts are cage bolts. And the nut is underneath the bed. Randy when you put the new ones on you can get the bolts at tractor supply. I will use anti-seize on them so the next time someone has to take the bed off it would be a lot easier good luck and have a great weak week

For once, I agree with your decision to sell the Explorer for the reasons stated. However sad to say, no one bidding on co part may get a chance at it. A car dealer will buy it from the dealer auction and put it on their lot for $8K. I hope you actually get more than $4K for it.

Randy, buying on copart does not work very well. I wanted to buy the blue Z24 you had. Was willing to pay 6k. Even put that number in. online at copart in Maryland my state and registered. Was 100 dollars to register jumped through all their hoops only to come to the end and find out I need a broker to buy in my state. It killed it for me.
