i think its a bit high, i think nasa 900-800k na lang ang 00 expedition depending on the condition but since your trading in your car ibang usapan, mas mahal talaga. is it 53 or 53,000kms?
i think the expedition is the best suv for the money kaso lang for me its unpractical since gas prices are too expensive these days,i know sabi huwag banggitin kaso its a big reality! now im glad i disposed of my lariat more than a year ago.. kundi everyday based on my computation, my daily gas consumption for 60km daily travel..hmm P380/day about P2280/week..imagine that! not just that, mahal din maintenance and parts ... baka malula si uncle..its like owning 2 1/2 revos! hehehe... but true expedition owners arent bothered by costs... its the image.. hehehe
for me maganda ang expedition, maluwag and malambot ang ride, ok idrive sa open road butt not sa city. we have a bigg ffamily kaya very dfavorabble a expedition saamin. it's still the best people hauler SUV. if you dont like vans . imho.
PM mo si 109 dati siyang owner ng GGen 1 expedition. Madaming alam yun pagdating sa expedition.

I'm one satisfied Expedition owner. It serves as our family hauler. I agree with what promdiboy said about the Expedition...ganda ng ride (my kids love it), spacious, power is adequate, lamig ng a/c, and many more. after almost 4 years, parang brand new pa rin...the engine is as quiet as when it was brand new...the suspension also walang kahit na anong kalampag.
one major downside really is that it consumes a lot of gas. mine does about 3.5-4km/l city and max 5.5km/l in the highway. the other downside is medyo mababa resale value compared to other SUV's (land cruiser, pajero, etc).
hope this helps.

hmmm..since trade in siya..talagang mejo mataas..pero sa asking price po ay mababa na siya considering na buy and sell yan.pero kung talagang owner niyo bibilin yang expe..mas mababa pa sa 1 million ang price niyan.
950 is already a good buy.
a little less than a million.2000 limited expedition din...pero bebenta ko na..herhehrehr
i guess its a bit expensive, i have a friend hu sold his 01 expedition for 820T lang, sariwa pa din, maybe it would be better if u sell ur revo and buy an expedition separately, u can save on that
Originally posted by xox o nga, if its such a good car, why are a lot of people trying to sell theirs?
my guess...economics - especially in the sorry state of our country now. maybe for some folks the gas consumption of the expedition far outweighs the benefits offered by the rig (spacious, comfy ride, adequate power, etc).
yup, buyers market yan. mataas ang presyo na yan. you can even go as low as 800,000
i sold my 4x4 F150 for economic reasons. mahal ang gas tapos mahal ang maintennance dahil ang laki ng makina, mahal ang change oil. tapos brake pad, 5000 per piece ata.
everytime i went in for a 5000km checkup, pinka-mura na ang P10,000 pesos. Last november, ang bil ko ay 42,000 pesos sa 80,000 km checkup ko. that was the straw that broke my back and made me decide to sell it.
just think of this. i went to a used car lot and this is what i came away with dahil i was in such a rush to sell my F150 (bagong washover pa with 33" MTRs and 16x8 mags):
got there and saw a 1997 pajero that i liked. unang hirit ng agent, dagdag ako ng P150,000 (can you imagine that). I kept making tawad, and the lowest they would go would be dagdag pa ako ng P75,000. I ran the numbers, value of 1997 pajero, around 650 to 700,000 pesos. minus the 75,000, lalabas and F150 ko na 575 to 625,000. for me okay na yun, so kinuha ko na lang. nagmamadali kasi.
kung gagawin mong daily driver ang Expedition, huwag na huwag talaga, unless money is not an issue.
Originally posted by xox are the parts expensive? repairs and maintenance?
xox,
luckytruck's right - the brake pads of the expedition are quite expensive. and since the car is quite heavy, i think almost 3 tons for the expedition, the pads wear out faster.
