RUN...DONT WALK! Dont stop at this place!! Here is my story: $3500 for a Expedition with no front stabilizers and over $7000 worth of pre existing engine/tran.
damage wont refund/exchange.
I purchased 98 ford expedition on 3/14/14 for $3500. On 7/7/14 spent $402.88 repairing alternator and
serpentine belt. Also on that date the repair discovered the vehicle was sold to me with no front stabilizers
and the water jacket plugs corroded. On 7/31/14 car was blowing coolant. Discovered the pre-existing water
jacket plugs corroded and then blew out the cylinder head and gasket. Cost to fix that $6,446.55. Was told
cheaper to invest in new engine but to take dealer to court. The car is undrivabable and parked.Was told the
entire thing could blow out anytime and freeze up transmission.
I also had encounter with a Winston Salem Police Officer who stated it was illegal for them to sell the car with
no front stabilizers and the inspector who authorized and passed the inspection/dealer needs to be reported. I have tried to reason with Sardo, the man who sold me the car. He wants to see that there are no front stabilizers.
I consulted with an attorney who advised me to hold off on him having any access to the car since a local officer
noted and car repair noted the stabilizer issues. I spent my 10 year old daughters SSI disability back pay for this car to be able to transport her around for her
medical appts. I advised this to Sardo upon the sale and he still sold me this broken headache.
Will not refund or take car back. Even with my $400+ new alternator!

UHMM DUH? It is illegal in North Carolina (where I bought the car) for the dealer to sell any car without front stabilizers. It is a safety requirement, and should never have passed inspection within his custody or left his lot. His inspector and his dealership will be investigated by the state when I am done.

You can expect repairs, perhaps many of them on a car of this age. I would also bet you bought it "AS-IS" which means any and ALL repairs are on you..also right? Sorry you're having so much trouble.
