I've bought two 5.0L explorers in the last couple years... one for $800, lost title but it was $40 to put it in my name in Washington and get a WA title in my name... I proceeded to lose that title in the year it took me to get it running (bought it with broken spider gears, fixed that for free and on the 5 mile test drive the trans went out... $900 just in parts...). Was $85ish to get a replacement title in my name (I live in Oregon, it's a pain to go up to WA just for that, and I was out of time with trip permits as you get two 20 day permits a year or something like that in OR). Then it was $196 to get an Oregon title and plates in my name... now it'd be $230ish as tag fees went up a lot
Second one was stupid... went to an auction that had a '98 EB Expo with 5.0L, $400 without plates, $200 more and it was plated and in my name. Didn't need that one, but ended up giving it to the wife and it's her daily now... $400 was just too cheap to pass up!!!
First one was 206K on the clock, second was 212k on the clock, second burns oil but gets better mileage than the first one and now has over 220k...
They're out there
