I won a 267,000 Mile Ford Expedition from Copart for $750!! How bad is it?

[@kellyoubrejr544]

Gotta love the Expedition 😍, great SUV! Edit: that is the 2V, I don't know if you mentioned it anymore in the video as I'm still watching but it's a 2V. They didn't switch to the 3V until 05... All it is a stroked 4.6!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

So it has none of the issues the 3v has!! YAY!!

[@kellyoubrejr544]

@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Nope! I know the earlier ones had some head gasket issues on *SOME*, but I'm sure they resolved it in the years after. God bless and hope nothing goes wrong with the truck ❤🙏🏼!

[@charlescurran1289]

That’s great because the 3 valve 5.4L was rated the worst engine Ford ever made.

[@kellyoubrejr544]

@@charlescurran1289 As a owner of a 3V I can agree that they aren't all that great of a motor but I will generally tell you that I had no issues with mine for the 5 years I had it. 187K on the clock and only issue was a flywheel... They can last if you maintain and get lucky on some!

[@johnnyontheslot]

As I learned from car wizard, the Ford 3v 5.4 has a design flaw. The passages that allow oil to get cam phaser are too small and therefore get clogged with sludge easily. This causes cam phaser failure due to lack of lubrication. Wizard states that frequent (3k - 5k miles) oil changes will decrease chance of this problem. So I have been interested in several trucks with the 3v 5.4l, but have had to pass on them all due to no/poor documentation on oil changes.

[@foquai7458]

No, its nice to see you score a good car without major issues.

[@onekeycargarage2934]

Randy! Strange Coincidence! Bought an identical one from my local charity dealer about 2 years ago. Same year, same trim, same color, same battery light, also one owner. Loved the ride. The battery issue turned out to be the wrong spec Alternator put in by previous owner. Flipped it but still miss it.

[@tobiaswehner6836]

Nah I'm never getting tired of seeing you score a gem at auction. I would like to see as many as possible of these. It's enjoyable. Just do what you do randy.

[@larzDJ]

Sooooooooooo happy you are doing so well! When people tell you how lucky you are, I always say: "The harder I work, the luckier I get".

[@christopherhamilton5557]

If it’s not the battery, the alternator maybe underperforming. Nice score! Fully loaded for $1000? Yep!

[@victorwanstreet3038]

or overcharging and the computer dont like it

[@kevinlimo696]

Actually the gauge on the dash looks like the alternator is actually overcharging just enough to throw the light. I've got the same thing on my 01 F150.

[@damianlaflamme332]

Almost! Not quite! It doesn't have navigation! Besides that it's fully loaded!

[@mikepriceup]

Actually when you find diamonds in the rough its pretty cool. That was a 40/50 thousand vehicle when it was new. Looks like the previous owner took great care of it! New battery and tires and she's ready for driving full time or flipping it. Great find buddy

[@RLVTECHUSA]

i bought my 2001 jeep grand cherokee limited for $1300 was a 1 owner and garage kept, and it has 245k miles on it and runs great love it !! my last jeep had 479k miles on it when i scrapped it

[@srhwarfield]

I had 2004 Expedition Eddie Bauer with over 220 K miles the only problem was fuel pump and a couple of hoses. I absolutely loved it ❤

As a 3v owner of a 2005 expedition with 200k still going im here to tell you all 3vs aren’t bad just maintain them and they will last forever I say keep it

[@richroj]

Hi Randy, I like when you bring home cars with no problems for great prices. its enjoyable!!

[@DEXEuphoria]

To be honest it is nice to see a non broken used car for a change.. I don't mind seeing it on your channel, not every used car is trash and this example was really nicely maintained by its single owner.

[@ThatBlueHoe]

I agree

[@enjoythesho1992]

That's awesome I have a 03 expedition in my fleet with a 2 valve 4.6 with 290k! They are honestly good vehicles

[@lovellmills7959]

Nice 289k on my 03 Avalanche

[@glennstiller7616]

For the battery light, probably a problem with communication to the PCM. Check Ford TSB 04-14-9. Solution may be as simple as an update to the software depending on build date.

[@MapOfEurasia]

That's a score!! Can't wait to hear the big news!! Congrats Randy!!

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

You scored another winner Randy, being a one owner the guy probably took very good care of it. Sounds like he cares about his vehicles. 😎👍

Try the Reset button just under the Check Charging System indicator. Not even an exhaust manifold leak, great buy.

[@carlosleoni3487]

It could be that the fuse box , or junction box how they called , on the passenger side start failing , very common on those expeditions . At Ford dealers is a 700 bucks part , at the junkyard 20 bucks . You can also send it to refurbish.

[@timedwards8225]

Congratulations Randy on everything couldn't be more happier for you

[@handlesR4TrackingU]

If you have charging problems on that Expedition. It may not be the battery but the positive cable itself. Just a heads up.

[@Expressionistix]

These were the best cars ever made. Have an 04 and it's still going.

[@vWhiz]

Man you really did score a gem it just needs some detailing for the interior and the exterior pulse some small oil changes and break flush and you have a like new truck that will last

[@fasteddy917]

As I suspected when you paid everything off there was something huge pushing the move. Does the surprise have a large workshop?

[@turbotato]

Had an '05 Expedition Eddie Bauer. They don't drive like a big car...tell Jessica to try it for a few days before giving up on it. I loved it but it started having some minor issues and did have the rust in the radiator support issue. It would have cost close to $4K to replace the rad support. They also had issues with the paint flaking off of the aluminum parts. Traded it in and they gave us almost nothing for it.

[@Smoothcriminal_1]

That's a common problem with those expeditions. I had one for 2 years with that light on and it drove perfectly fine

[@charmingcharlie8564]

Randy, I had a buddy that has had a few Expeditions that body style. He said that light is caused by 2 things, 1 a remanned alternator that is fine for charging but apparently throws the battery light unless its oem, or a bad or recently replaced PCM that has not been synced to the ignition switch. May not help but worth a shot, love the channel and videos!

[@tenmillionvolts]

Run a scan for the battery charge fault and check service bulletins. The battery light is never a bad battery. A bad battery is often easier to charge so there's less chance of the battery charge light coming on. Nice score Randy

I like seeing these cars cleaned up and saved more than buying new cars that from dealerships

[@DanaDoesStuff]

I have a 2004 Expedition Eddie Bauer, exactly like this one but with about half the miles and in red. First Ford I’ve ever owned, and it’s been very reliable. Definitely check all of your fuses and all of your power ports to make sure they’re functional. The TPMS system can be very flaky. Mine has shown the TPMS error ever since I bought it, and the sensors have all been replaced. So I have no idea what the problem is. Doesn’t really bother me, other than I have to turn off the warning every time I go somewhere. The 2004 models still had the 2V engine, so you will not have the cam phaser issue. They are, however, really poor on gas mileage. Expect 14-15 at best.

H/S friend bought a 2004 Taurus new. in 2015, the battery light came on. His Tech checked EVERYTHING, no problems with the charging system. I bought it, kept it awhile, and sold it to a bowling teammate. He has had no issues, and he hooked up an after market volt meter, and it always shows charging just fine. One of the mysteries of life I guess.....

@@MilesProwerStudios78 It's a V8 unless it's been modified because the 4.0 V6 was never put in the Expedition by Ford. Only the 4.6 liter V8 or the 5.4 liter V8 both of them have timing chains no belts. 4.6 V8 makes less power but is the more reliable of the 2.

[@danielhartin7680]

The fact it's a one owner is the best selling point of all. Once a vehicle's paid off, if it's been problematic the owner is going to trade that thing in faster than you can do an oil change. Obviously this one's been behaving itself.

[@nightmusic1one27]

Not allways...new vehicles come with negative equity...only true way to get ur equity out is to drive it forever. Everyone thinks new is better...not allways the case....especially considering the cost of new vehicles today. The worst way to get rid of a car is on a trade...you get bagged twice
